    Realistically first season with no change 10-13th I think. I don’t think we would flirt with relegation simply because the expectation level from the fans compared to Southampton, Bournemouth etc… is just completely different and that mentality would set us apart especially at home from the bottom 3-5 teams.

    That’s easy, they already exist. They’d be EFL Championship clubs.

    Current squad 8th ish. Obviously with the Sky money top 4


    Never understand fans wanting to stay in this utter * league where we are cheated year in year out and the powerbrokers blatantly favour a bigoted club on the other side of the city.

    This.

    But in all honesty, I'd rather the EPL collapsed under the weight of it's own ego fuelled financial inflation.

    Perfect scenario would be Super League happens. EPL goes down the *. UEFA's control over the game becomes moot and non existent. "Atlantic League" or similar is formed with:

    Celtic.
    Anderlecht
    Brugge KV
    Gent
    Standard Liège
    Brøndby IF
    Copenhagen
    HJK Helsinki
    Ajax
    AZ Alkmaar
    Feyenoord
    PSV
    Rosenborg BK
    Sevco
    AIK
    Malmö.

    Top 2-4 automatic entrance to group stages of whatever iteration of the European Cup is then in place with Europa leagues and Conference leagues cancelled.

    Referees from all participating nations, with Scottish refs banned after half a season after an investigation into bias officiating.


    One can only dream.

    Probably somewhere in the top 10 first season down there and then after getting the funds to build and develop a squad, i think pushing for top 4 would be the aim.

    I don't know where it would come from.

    But hypothetically speaking, I'd have no doubt in my mind that if Celtic were to enter the EPL, we'd be sold by Desmond to some nation state without a moments hesitation.

    The hype that would surround the massive change coming to the domestic game would be unreal and the money involved would be at even crazier levels than what it is now.

    Within the first season I'd have no doubts we'd be doing what Newcastle is right now.

    Within 5 years we'd be challenging for the title and making CL finals.
