Yet some keep wanting Celtic to do well in Europe. Sorry I don't care if it gives us a little extra they are pulling away from the rest it's embarrassing. No other team will win the Scottish Premier for at least the next 10/20 years including The Rangers.
But I think by then there will be an Atlantic League or another league where they won't be here. I can't wait until that happens because no one will get close.
Some mental figures in there.
Revenue increase of 74.2%?
Operating expenses increased by 33.3%?
That one hell of a fluctuation as a result of Champions League Qualification.
How on Earth do you budget for that?
I'm a bit confused by that report.
The figures are for the first half of this year...to 30th June. They were out of Europe by Christmas, weren't they?
I'm not sure what the CL comments are about.

We too are enormous, dont you know.
But not as "famous" as our not so noisy neighbours across the city.
11 against 11
We will have Stokes on Fire for that upcoming game against the east side of Glasgow club who sought to destroy Edinburgh Hibernian when Glasgow businessmen betrayed Brother Wilfred and his mission.
Dont ever let them forget that.
They cannot even spell the name of our club correctly !!
Remember that banner they flaunted at the Holy Ground?

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
These results, which declare sales revenue of £90.6m (2016: £52.0m) and a profit before taxation of £6.9m (2016: £0.5m), reflect the paramount importance to the Company of participation in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.
For all of the money they've made only £6.9m of that is pre tax profit. Where does all the money go?
They are so far in front, it has no relevance to me as a Hibs supporter we havn't won the league for 65 years and this is not going to change anything.
It may become a test of the loyalty for the sevconian hoardes over the next 10 years.
Remind me what our t/o is per annum
Rodgers moaning about the financial gulf between them and the rest of the biggest clubs in Europe meant I lost all respect for him. Decent manager yes. Total arrogant arse. Also yes. Hope they get pumped out.
Uncatchable. For the foreseeable future at least.
Best we can hope for is that some of this wealth is spread around by Celtc paying over the odds when they sign players from other Scottish teams.
This is how I look at it as well, their resources are so vast compared to everybody else losing to them is no longer a cause for any disappointment, annoyance, anger or any other negative emotion which would normally accompany Hibs losing to another Scottish club ..... they could put two teams on the park capable of winning the Premiership. From my point of view any game against them is a free hit, if we get anything brilliant, if we don't its ho hum who cares, onto the next game.
I just don't get where the joy is in being a Celtic supporter .... If they were building teams from the ground up and winning stuff on a level playing field fine, or even if it was a case of having a large windfall that put them out in front for a few years. But this seems to me like a never ending 'Groundhog day' where nothing will ever change, win after win, league after league, cup after cup with no competition to speak of ..... don't tell me that eventually that wouldn't bore the tits off you :dunno:
They've got to get to 55 or whatever.
But this is their point about the gulf between then and the other leagues in the cl. I found their result against psg quite sad. Not that I like celtic in any way but if they can't compete in the cl what chance do hibs have. It's not even like psg are a big European club. Financial doping wins
Remember when our jambo chums told us we were no longer their rivals but Celtic were? Bunch of fuds. No one in Scotland is even close to celtic anymore, not even the hun
Must be a bit dull being a tic fan right now. This match is dull as ****.
I can picture a scenario where teams are playing their 2nd team against Celtic because they have a big game against their rivals 3 or 4 days later , imagine being a Celtic fan then , total lack of interest and competition .
Their wage bill will be huge; then there's transfer fees and operating costs.
£90 million turnover is enormous compared to the rest of Scottish football, but isn't comparable to the biggest teams in Europe. Man United and Real Madrid have a turnover of over £500 million.
What’s our turnover in comparison?
That’s the kind of region I had in my head. So the gulf between us and Celtic is about 15x. I’d hazard a guess the difference between half the league and Celtic is about 30x. The difference between Celtic and Real Madrid is about 6x. And Rodgers wants to tell people that the two are incomparable? He’s probably right, but not for the reasons he thinks he is.
