The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[The Coddfather]

What sort of kicks do some lads get from coming to the Celtic thread (or any thread) to talk about how disinterested they are in it? Honestly don't get it. Is it for the attention?

New manager needed. A dead rat could manage them in fairness. 40 years next year since any team other than Celtic or Rangers has won the Scottish league. It's dead. Finished.

Some climbdown for Spurs and Levy if this is the managerial pool they are fishing in now.

Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte.... Postecoglou

He'll need to be if he takes the Spurs job. He'll have more than one team to compete against.

The most pointless league ever. Celtic to good for it but shite in Europe. Surely fans can't be happy with that?

The idea that this is even a competitive league is ridiculous. What is the point in even celebrating these league titles?

You don't understand the calibre of loser you are dealing with here...

He has very little to be at.

If Ange goes, who are the likely replacements? Does Kennedy make it onto the consideration list (if he is even interested). I see Brendan Rodgers name popping up on twitter, I've no doubt he'd be a success again, but think that bridge has been burnt.

It is a joke of a league though in fairness

I get it - they can only beat what's in front of them . But apart from die hards and actual Scottish fans who watches the Scottish league from week to week? It's awful.

I stand by the point that I think Celtic and rangers would probably get relegated from the English championship after a season.

It's a shame because some big players did become drawn to Celtic / rangers over the years but that seems to have waned now.

Not a question of whether the league is rubbish or not. My curiosity is what brings someone onto a thread to do nothing except harp on about how uninterested they are in it.

Would they get the 100m+ that promoted clubs get in pre season? Would they get the money for TV rights?

Celtic currently get 3.5 Million for winning the league, 5 million including TV rights.

PL teams get 84 million just from TV rights regardless who you are for just being in the premier league.

Celtic are a massive club with a huge fanbase, they could easily attract players to finish comfortable mid table in the PREMIER LEAGUE with the money to spend. Getting into Europe would be a massive issue though.

The stage is set for the return of Neil Lennon...unfinished business!

If they got into the english leagues then I think over time they might be close to winning the premier league given a wee bit of time. The problem is now they can't compete financially due to the TV money. The european money helps massively but is not always guaranteed.

Not a chance unless it was Arab money they were getting.

What has other teams in the premier league have over Celtic? (obviously excluding the monetary advantage)

In Scotland and Ireland.

Celtic are as big as any of them. But look at the likes of Man City! Pure shite and then the Arab money has turned them into a machine.

Completely agree... same as Newcastle.

I'm saying if Celtic were put on the same level playing field financially as the rest of the Premier League, they would avoid relegation with ease.

I think they would avoid relegation with the team they have now. But would need 100s of millions to get anywhere near Europe nevermind win something!

I think they would get relegated with their current squad however to be honest.

Once the money starts rolling in though they would be pushing for top 6.

If Ange goes Kyogo will surely follow on a hefty fee. He'd thrive in the EPL.

Yeah sure he would ... I remember everyone saying how Tierney was going to be a top EPL player and he's only a sub!

Spurs taking a big chance with Ange not many managers coming from Scotland can cut it down South... have any really since Fergie?? Does Rodgers' FA cup count?

While the lure of a big club and the money it brings seems appealing the history of these appointments would tell you lads are better off staying in Scotland!

Yeah sure  who were that everybody? most Celtic fans knew that Tierney was an excellent player but injury prone (as in glass knee) and at Arsenal so it proved to be, 2 major injuries.
but when fit  a top player for club and country.
I suppose VvD should have stayed on in the SPL  and played out his career for a pittance, jayse Screenexile  for a smart lad you do write some dross and staunch pro- English dross at that 
Are you really from the same town that produced the legendary Lynchbhoy?

I'm not pro English in the slightest I don't even support a PL team the green tinted glasses about how class Celtic are and how good Scottish football is just doesn't make sense to me. VVD left Celtic 8 years ago and the standard has been on the wane since.

Also you'd have to ask questions about the Celtic board that they didn't give him a long term contract he can't be blamed if another team comes along to offer him more money.

I think we'll both agree lynchbhoy is the man. I haven't seen him this long time maybe 15 years or more but maybe with Derry going better now we might cross paths again!

Is there anybody blaming Ange for moving to the EPL, I don't think so, maybe the recent state of affairs at Spurs with  two (or three)  good managers come and gone. Perhaps Celtic should have offered Ange a long term contract after the first season or perhaps Ange  just wanted a rolling contract, even if he had a long contract there would have been an exit clause with terms.

You questioned Tierney's ability to hack it at Arsenal as an example, not a good example as he was badly injured even as he was transferred  and twice after.  VVD had played in a worse Celtic squad.
