Does that mean Celtic have paid at least £6 Miilion only ONCE with Jullian, before having him on loan first?
( in 18 years )

Celtic have all this money in the bank but if it wasn’t for Sevco doing well in Europe, we could probably half that amount.

Celtic probably wouldn’t have Qualified through the playoffs because we normally don’t sign decent players until AFTER the Qualifiers ?‍♂️

I reckon Celtic have made at least £40 Million extra in the last couple of seasons because of CL groups.

I thought our next step would be to thank Sevco for all this extra cash and then to use that money to open up a massive gap again.

We knew there would only be 3 guaranteed CL campaigns, before the Scottish Champions have to qualify again.

Celtic have won the first 2 league titles and then Beale gave us a nice lead in this final season.
But
I really don’t know what our Board are currently doing because now isn’t the time to stand still at best.
( personally I believe we’ve downsized )
WHY?

The Sevco Board are trying everything they can do to win the title and their last chance of really good guaranteed cash.
If Celtic still claim the title,
Their fans will at least know that their Board gave everything in their power.

If Celtic lose the title,
Our fans will 100% know that the Celtic Board never gave enough.
Our glory and European destination is in Celtic Board’s hands and it’s looking like they are going to drop it.

Don’t quote me on this but stats from memory showed successful transfers in £1-2 million bracket were about 10.% and in the £5-6 million bracket iabove 50%.

Size of transfer fee doesn’t guarantee quality but statistically chances are better by a factor of five.

(Despite arguments on here to the contrary and that £1.50 yoga mats being better than £35 versions. )

Knowing how club operates out of Ibrox we can be sure Sevco will. do everything wiithin their power on top of everthing outside their power to win the. SPL . They are able to set off on another attempt at breaking world record of not conceding penalties in SPL matches . Their elite referees and VAR operators are fully aware of their commItment.
