I reckon you could pull a bloke from the pub outside the ground, stick him in charge for a season, and Celtic would still win the title ...

That's effectively what they done with Ronny Deila

There has been lots of cheating to financially boost teams to artificial levels to win on the park.

There`s nothing artificial about it, you win or lose on the field.
Cheating financially, try reading the aptly named Paradise Papers,

What does his previous businesses have to do with Celtic?

We're talking football and you're bringing in irrelevant things.

Relegated in the first season.
In danger of relegation in the second season.
It really is that bad...

[albundy89]

Hardly,
I made a comment about the game being won on the park and you deemed it otherwise,
I am making a simple analogy comparing your arguement with mine.

Your analogy doesn't work.

Please explain.
Presumably you are maintaining that rangers had an unfair advantage because in your mind there were financial irregularities which gave them an unfair advantage on the field.
I am merely pointing out that the money put in to celtic by Dermot Desmond is tainted by his tax avoidance schemes also,ergo by your thinking, cheating.

At last a voice of reason : Clubs in the north east struggle to attract players it would be immeasurably harder for them to get the players in to help them stay up. Having large crowds and a large fan base doesn't help you much in the premier league, if it did my team would be mid table. Not really sure who the main forwards are now but if it's still Griffiths and Sinclair, imagine if they were your forwards
Off the pitch the fans are possibly the biggest set of tossers I've ever come across it would be a bloodbath at every game

Tax avoidance = Legal

EBT = NOT Legal.

HTH the hard of thinking.

[albundy89]

Enlighten me ,what is HTH.

Hope that helps.

Where does the hard of thinking come in to it,to my mind they are both morally wrong and should be treated as such or do morals not count any more.

There a good chance Celtic will be in the EPL before your mob!

The other issue for Celtic is the seedings in Europe. It's so heavily staggered to help the big leagues. I'm sure if English teams were in the forth pot and had teams like PSG and Bayern in their group they'd also be heading for the Europa League.

I thought it was also based on a clubs previous record. Didn't Celtic lose 17 CL away games on the trot, or something like that.

Large crowds you say.................

They’d probably end up in the fight for 6th to 10th area.

With the prem money they’d then be able to compete in that sort of area. The Top 5 have such a financial advantage that it’s nigh on impossible to catch up. They can afford to run almost double the wage bills of the 6th best financially placed club, Spurs.
