    Yes, I agree. We should build a statue of Peter Lawwell and rename the stadium Ian Bankier Arena, to thank those altruistic man for guiding Celtic through such an era of prosperity under so difficult conditions. It takes a genius to manage to beat the likes of Aberdeen and Motherwell, with their financial muscle and international reputation, in an age where the playing field was never so leveled in football. One just has to look at the mighty opposition that it takes to beat them (and us) in Europe to realize what a hard task it is.

    People keep using the league as an excuse but the thing is, apart from the obvious example of Ajax (who doesn't play top opposition every week either), we have plenty of eastern european teams playing in equally uncompetitive leagues and achieving better results in Europe. Dinamo Zagreb has plenty of players coming from the academy, reached Europa League quarter finals last year, Red Star Belgrade managed to beat Liverpool at home and Red Bull over two legs. They play against *, unambitious teams on absurdly crappy stadiums back home, spend a fraction of what we do, and what is worse, all those teams are run by crooks and bandits who aren't exactly an example of management.

    There is certainly a lot more that could be done.

    These next 3 weeks will tell us a lot of the boards ambition, we’ve had too many windows of “quality over quantity”, “the right player at the right price” and “we tried”.

    We should have a substantial list of targets since they knew KT and Lustig would be going and that we’d only have 3 centre backs (1 of which is injury prone) after bringing in Jullien.

    Time re-invest in the squad if we want to do anything in europe this season.

    I still think at the upcomming AGM someone should stand up and state the PL is gambling with 10 in a roq due to his penny pinching ways. And if we secure 9 PL should put his bonus on the line with the caveat being he only geta his bonus that year if we secure 10 in a row

    The board have * all ambition and we shouldn't be waiting to off load players first to buy as there's plenty of money in the bank and they are not just gambling on champions League money they are gambling on 10 in a row as well so get a move on lawwell and back your manager .
