They get incredibly angry at the thought a player might chose another team over them and when a team like us they consider massively inferior doesn't bow down to their demands. So if the Hickey thing goes through it'll be a nice double whammy. they’ll just chuck more players on loan at Dundee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henryheart Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 4 hours ago, OTT said: OF fans can't manage a boycott, there's too many of them so its unworkable. The glasgow based ones might, but there are too many throughout the rest of the country that will go to the away games in their city/town, rather than following their local club. But, I don't think its intentional. As others have pointed out its common practise in Italy to do this. Could be just the reality of the situation. Plus, Budge isn't one to do something so petty and will likely be acutely aware of the bigger picture impact of pissing them off - i.e the next time we want to sign one of the kids they aren't going to play they'll tell us to bolt. Makes me laugh though They boycotted the last game of the season at Tynecastle in the early 70's. They were protesting at overcrowding at Tynecastle when they had knocked us out of the cup earlier in the season - the last 40,000 gate at Tynie and in all honesty it was rather uncomfortable and I ended up behind a pylon at the Gorgie Road end and had a very poor view. As for the boycott game, it was a rather good afternoon for those of us who were there; we won 4-1 and very few Celtic fans turned up.

And at Parkhead on that very same day, our reserves beat their reserves 5-0. So what though. The scrum is screwed so much in favour of the OF that they have won around 100 trophies since then and you'd be lucky if the rest of us have more than 10 between us.

cb1874 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 22 hours ago, Wilson said: His Dad, Neil, is a Celtic fan. The rest of this is wrong, other than wanting the best for the lad, and possibly going to Bologna.. No it's not. Aaron is a boyhood celtic fan. His agent has been involved in a remarkable number of transfers involving celtic. As one well known contributor here posted last week..."he's basically employed by celtic". They would not want to be involved in a transfer that deliberately and knowingly shafted celtic. Not really sure what's wrong with any of that. The dodgy loan deal nonsense, signing and extended deal to facilitate, dreamt up by somebody on here won't happen. It'll be 1.5m, 0.5m to celtic, so we clear 1.0m. Hopefully with a sell on.

been here before Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 If various reports are reasonably close to the truth... The club nets about 1.5m Hickey has the chance of a fantastc lifestyle with some amount if wedge for a boy his age. Bologna get a great prospect. Might be a sell on fee. Might be a loan back arrangement. Sellick miss out on a signing. Sellick look like missing out on c500k Sellick fans raging/offeeded/oppressed and are thus talking of boycotting Tynecastle. Im struggling to see a down side to any of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read a few people jumping to conclusions based on the Italian report which said it might be initial loan with obligation to buy. Otherwise agree though that this deal is positive for the club.

My point is simply that IF he fulfills his potential and IF there is indeed a sell-on clause then that could easily result in a future 'windfall' that would dwarf what's been reported for his current transfer. £10M you speculate?

Therefore it’s far more important to get a good upfront fee and hedge our bets against any future transfers. Regardless of figures, I hope this transfer is the first of many for us.

He's just turned 18, has played 30 odd games for us, has less than a year left on his contract and we've just sold him for £1.5m. If he keeps progressing then him being sold for a fee equal to the fee celtic got for Tierney isn't that much of a stretch of the imagination. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-bologna/rekordabgaenge/verein/1025 Doesn't look like a club that regularly punts players for big money. Its not to say it can't happen, just unlikely. Ultimately, though anything over and above what we've already got is welcomed. Perhaps Hickey will go for big money in the future.
