    They being Sevco. Surely they don't have the capability as we are streets ahead financially? Thoughts?

    Who cares.

    As long as we invest, wisely, what they spend is irrelevant.

    I reckon we SHOULD, because we really need a big overhaul. However, our board, Mr Lawwell especially, seems to be of the mentality of "winning the league by one point is good enough".

    Considering we don't even know for certain who or manager for next season is yet I don't think it's worth speculating how much we are, or aren't, going to spend. Much less that lot.

    We don't even know who our manager will be. It could end up being someone connected to Man U or something in which case we might (as always) end up with loans.

    There net spend last 2 seasons outweighs Celtic spend net but they have accumulated some amount of losses in the same period and won * all!

    Then our fees in are astronomical compared to theirs!

    Probably, they spend like * whilst we're always being told they're skint. They'll throw more and more money at it trying to stop the 10

    aslong as we buy good players and not just add to the dross that are already there , we need 4 or 5 players that are going to make a differnce, spending big doesnt always guarantee a good player , the right players at the right prices is all im concerned about

    I would be flabergsted if their spend was near ours. We have a big job on - need 5 first team players at least.

    Let them, we all know how that ended up last time.

    Just this time round, they won't be able to cheat their way to spending and just go bust even quicker in a desperate attempt to catch us every season.

    We can, if we wanted to, go out and get guys like Dembele, VVD, Ajer, Eddie, Sinclair and not have it break the bank and have a name big enough to get them to come here as guys will look at what they have achieved and think we are perfect for their career.

    They will continue to go out and get fuds like Defoe, Davis, Barton, Krancjar, Hastie and so on...

    We will not have another start and end to a season like we had this season, for a long while.

    Depends how much they can borrow from cash converters. No bank credit, it’s a tough call.:43:

    On a net basis it wouldn’t surprise me. I expect at least one of Ntcham, McGregor, Rogic is Tierney to leave this summer for a sizeable fee.

    we are hindered with lawwells bonus so that comes first :fear: but it doesnt really matter who spends more as its the scouting that counts more and look at the gems we got cheap eg larsson and commons .
    so getting in a head of recruitment who can spot a player and get good players next to nothing that counts .

    Does anyone actually care what they spend or even pay attention to it ?

    Personally I have more interest in what Peterhead will spend tbh and that's hewhaw.

    This year was their only chance to win the league as we were in third gear injuries snake leaving playing * well below par and being shafted again with our * tory board not putting up our money to buy players ffs all we got was. Scott mckenna * we are celtic we are loaded. So get a manager and players asap especially for CL qualifiers which are the four most important games financially for us.huns still couldnt take advantage. We wont be this bad again. Deadco blew it.HH. THE ONLY GOOD TORY IS A DEAD ONE.

    Well, not so much that I "care" bit we really should keep an eye on what our supposed "closest" rivals do.
