The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[seafoid]

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)

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.

It's all about the capacity to generate money.
Celtic is a big fish in a small pond. The market value of players is €118m

Disappointed that he's going.  I thought he'd stay another year for a run at the Champion's League.  He failed miserably in it so I thought he'd want a good run at it this season. It's all good saying 'we don't stop' but he needs to understand how his team can defend properly.

Hard to know how he'll do at Spurs. Will he get a budget or be allowed to pick his transfer targets?  Could go either way.  Spurs, at least are not in Europe, can build this incoming season without the pressure of Europe, which may help Ange in a way.

Still, the behind scenes at Spurs would definately be an issue.

Buy in from the Spurs players will be his biggest issue, if they give him a chance he'll succeed. A squad of pampered millionaires mightn't buy his folksy working man approach. As I said previously I think Everton would be a more suitable club for him. Just an opinion.

Probably safe to say that his knowledge of the Japanese Market played a huge role in Anges success at Celtic, and whilst those players could make a real impact in Scotland, they wouldn't have any impact in EPL where every player is rated £10m plus.

Ange will do well to complete 1 year at Spurs and will make a shed load of money when Spurs release him early....and then Celtic stint two is always an option. Ange playing his own cards well, who really could blame him.

It looks a bit iike Pat Lam laeving Connacht to go to Bristol. Ange is 57.

Celtic are as a big a club as Man utd and Liverpool?  Both tradition in Europe and followed globally.  There is generally no interest in Celtic outside Scotland and Ireland.  They haven't been competitive in europe in a long time either.

4 year contract for Spurs, that is a statement itself. Celtic's penny pinching love of short-term or rolling manager contracts backfires shocker.

We find ourselves in the mire pretty quickly, unless there's a succession plan in place for Kennedy. Ange a big fan of his.

Rogers is the man surely. Unfinished business.

Celtic are well represented globally. Your statement is opinion not fact regarding interest in Celtic. Blinkered opinion at best. Obviously not as much as some of the English clubs due to the exposure of their league.

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.

You obviously dont watch much of Scottish or English Championship football!
