    If we fail to get by AEK or the play off round, who do you think is for the off?

    It wouldn't surprise me at all if KT or Dembele were sold for anything above £20m in order to compensate for the potentially lost CL money, knowing our board anyway.

    Apologies for a depressing thread on the night of the game, I just think it adds an extra element of importance to getting through tonight.

    I don't think we need to sell one of those players, in particular cant see KT going regardless, however whether someone like Moussa wants to leave or not if we get knocked out is another matter. Cant see anyone bar Boyata leaving regardless of the result.

    I don't see anybody leaving bar boyata even if we go out, i doubt we'll sign anyone else outside of a replacement cb and arzani however if we do.

    Boyata will go and some deadwood will hopefully go as our squad is a bit bloated.

    Youngsters out on loan as well.

    We don't need to sell to make up for lost CL income, certain players might want to go if we've not got CL football, but the whole point of us banking so much of our income over the last two seasons is that we have the money to sustain the squad/wages at it's current level for a few years without qualifying, we'd have to miss out 2-3 years on the trot to need to sell.

    Don’t need to, already 8M for Armstrong, Boyata probably go for same amount, ST are about 52K.

    Don’t need to worry about that anyway since we’re going through.

    The CL money goes to finance hotels and light shows. If we don't qualify maybe we just won't get a fancy addition to the Celtic product(fixtures and fittings).

    But maybe we will see our support twindle to the numbers of a few years ago so there could be a lot less people to see the lights or stay int hotels.

    We will qualify and rather then sell will spenda net of £15mill a bring in some real gems.

    I mean I can do it in football manager so how tough can it be right?

    Then Lawwell will get a knighthood for his service to football financial management, Rodgers will stay for another 15 years and KT will score us the winner in a 4-3 thriller against Real in a CL final.

    Yes.

    The support is conditioned to believe it is essential to sell a key player, should we fail to qualify for the Champions League.

    We don't need to sell one even if we fail to qualify, but the board will do it anyway knowing they'll likely get away with it.

    No , we need to add players regardless of European path and keep our best.

    Boyatas certainly not a marquee player he can go anytime.

    Ntcham,Dembele,Rogic,Tierney and Edouard are the not for sale for me at any price.

    Don't think we'd get the money for Dembele the now as he's always injured. If someonedid bid, I'd be surprised if it was any more than £8-£10m. Think the board would want more than that so would not sell.
