TheScarf Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 BG just have far better players than Celtic. There's not really much they can do about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i didn’t say spending money wasn’t advantageous however should we be ashamed for actually having a business model that keeps us in the black to allow us to do so? However spending money doesn’t win you the league, you still have to find the right players, the right coach, get buy in and get results. We spent 10 million on Ajeti and Barkas ffs so it’s not just as simple as dump a load of cash to guarantee quality and success as those 2 evidence But you missed the point completely, most Celtic fans wouldn’t have expected us to be ahead of Rangers at this stage considering the volume of players needed and doubly so with our recent record of signing expensive duds. It took Rangers 4 years of big spending to catch Celtic we have clawed it back in 7 months We could go back and forth all day but we won’t - it’s all about opinions as they say. I think Celtic’s massive budget gives them and advantage over the rest of the teams in the Premier League and you don’t. You won’t budge on that and neither will I. And spending money doesn’t win you the league ? Really !! In Europe especially, I bet 90% of the teams that have won their leagues over the past 20 years have had the top 2 or 3 budgets in their respective leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn’t our night. When their first goal went in (against the run of play it has to be said) you could just tell they were lifted massively by that. From then on in we just struggled to get going, and on occasions we did that little bit of quality was missing. A learning curve for most of these players, league and Europe are vastly different ball games. The defeats in Europe have been all different the players and Ange learn more from them,to see where we are and what we can and can't do. Our best performances have came away from home in Germany and Spain,that 3rd goal last night probably puts it beyond Celtic but you never know. Celtic were left short in Germany against a quality side,in Spain it was a bit naive and early for this group of players. Last night we all know Celtic can play better and cause Bodo problems,Bodo will also be better for this game. I disagree with you and Jinky on the midfield three, I think McGregor is wasted in the number 6 role much prefer him in the Turnbull role. Which means Bitton,McGregor and Hatate for next week if fit,the balance wasn't right last night and it effected the front three this for me is why we lost the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of Celtic fans think why have we got 20 odd million in the bank and why it's not spent on the team. The board think we don't need to spend it and you think we have an advantage,Why would we have an advantage with the resources we have when we don't spend the resources we have? Every other club on the planet spends more than they have,yes it's a club like no other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the resources you have spent is significantly higher than any other team. Probably more than the other 11 teams combined this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
