What do you mean not really? You obviously have to spend more to compete when you’re a new club. Celtic have an academy and recruitment network which has been built over a long period, Sevco have been a club for 8 years or whatever, some of that in the lower divisions
Celtic go from a position if having to replace their best players every year. Rangers go from a position of improving their squad every year. The logic suggests Celtic should be regressing and Sevco should be progressing.
You also ignored the substantive element to my previous post.
What youth prospects did Sevco lose from the previous incarnation of Rangers?
Whatever about Celtic regressing, Sevco clearly are progressing. They were in the 4th tier not that long ago. Sevco arent as good as Celtic so it’s clear that their players aren’t as sought after as Celtic’s are.
No they haven’t. Celtic have outspent them in that period, Celtic just had more saleable assets so they’ve recouped a lot of it through sales. Sevco were starting from a base of nothing
Where did I contradict myself? Celtic don’t have any competition
Celtic have consistently hawked off their best players in that time and used a fraction of that money back in the first team.
Sevco have consistently held onto their best players and invested heavily in the first team.
I posted some figures above for you which you ignored earlier. If you could read you might feel the need to make a fool out if yourself on things you clearly know little about.
They do, there’s a team who are consistently investing money in the first team where Celtic are downsizing. The problem is Sevco are very poorly managed, if they had shrewd people at the helm they would take the title off a Celtic side consistently being downsized.
Disharmony in the sevco setup by all accounts. It might finally dawn on the neds that half the team are there for the paycheck, and couldn’t really give a fcuk about the lads down the lodge.
As an aside, Celtic are bound to have a higher player value loss. They’ve had several who’ve become high value targets. Celtic can barely match the wages offered by an English championship team, never mind the EPL, so, when they come knocking, and a player only has a year or two left on contract, Celtic have their hand forced.
Hard to know, didn’t really see enough of him and guys like that can start off brightly before fading away.
He looks to be technically very good, can use either foot and has a fair strike on him but I suspect he wouldn’t be one to do it on a wet Wednesday night at Rugby Park.
