buster. 4,808 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) We can only concentrate on improving ourselves to the best we can be with the resources available. However the destination of the bits of silver depend on how we get on against other teams. I think it was Dave King who said something along the lines of ...'Celtic could fall apart like a house of cards in a relatively short time period'...... I think we've reached the point where the Green&Grey PLC have to open the biscuit tin and place a substantial amount of their chips on the table. I said a month or two back that the G&GPLC would spend relatively big and Lennon wouldn't get the job. If they don't and we win the 19/20 title, they risk an immediate and substantial decrease in ST numbers for the following season, as well as no route into the CL. Whichever way they go they are going to increase the wage bill and stretch the finances. If they qualify for the CL group stages this summer, that will pay for it for the time being. Given transition, not easy. If not, they'll lose at least one of their better players. If we can look after ourselves, get recruitment right (that doesn't necessarily mean spending huge sums of money) and put a team together that can start strongly, then we'll have a decent chance. Lot of hurdles to get over before that but we've reached a place where we've established a solid base camp to work from. When we start the league in August, it'll be like heading off to scale K2 on a single attempt. We have to get things right from the off, keep getting them right and hope for some fair weather along the way.
