This makes a bit more sense of it. . .

Under UEFA rules, no "individual or entity" can have a "decisive influence" over the activities of more than one club in its tournaments.

I'm sure if Desmond wanted to he can work the agreement in such a way that allows the 2 to compete in Europe!

Murdoch owned PSG and Man Utd?

No, the Brits blocked the purchase, should have been clearer. But to get as far as he did he sold his stake in PSG.

I cant see DD selling his stake in Celtic foir a seat on Rovers board, can you?

Murdoch never owned either United or PSG otherwise your post was spot on... As others have said if Desmond/Celtic are going down that road I'm sure they know what they're at..

The Brits blocked the purchase? you're a wizard with language. The Brits??

There's nothing to read into a possible connection between Celtic and Shamrock Rovers over and above some arrangement re access to youth talent on the cheap. Not so strange that it comes after the arrival of Damien Duff to Celtic.

Thats my point. Why would DD take equity in Rovers to access youth players for Celtic? Its either been reported wrong or there is something bigger happening under the surface

Surely we'd be better buying a lower league English conference team, send young players down there and also a project to start getting up the leagues and sure ya never know what could happen

Bayo, Weah and Burke in. Now for a right back and centre back and we are good to go.

Targetman · January 08, 2019, 10:20:45 PM

Any info on Bayo, have to be honest I know nothing about him, glad we're not signing players that wouldn't qualify for club 18/30!!

Gotta aim higher than the nationals, how about Yeovil Town? and they would come already appropriately hooped.

Underwhelming, mediocre signings if ever there were ones. £15-£20M centre back needed urgently.

This is the Celtic thread, you know! If you want £15m signings support Bournemouth.

Jez, there are lads here who want to go down the road of Sevco and end up Bankrupt.

We signed Van Djik for 2.5 million its good scouting we use not big money. That's why Bayo needs to be given a chance someone sees something in him and hes got a big thumbs up from Lubo.
