The Flip Side To The 2angers Coming…<\/h3>\n
\n

The argument as to whether the current 2angers side is the same entity is not really relevant to this ramble as the fact now stands they (whoever they are) will be operating in the top flight next season regardless.<\/p>\n

They might even manage a full season.
\nThere are umpteen reasons as to why this is a negative for so many within our support of course which have all been discussed many,many times these past 4 years or so so I won’t be going there .
\nNo I would rather flip it and try to look at the positive benefits (if any)regarding their imminent arrival.
\nCeltic under a previous admission from Pete Lawwell have been hit financially hard due to the departure of the dearly beloved in 2012.
\nhttp:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/revealed-rangers-troubles-cost-celtic-4137888#m4tKXo3mivwMT4vx.97<\/a>
\nSince then it has been made public knowledge that we have taken a hit of at least \u00a35m a Season going up to \u00a310m depending on what you read?
\nThat has meant a change in approach by the Club which as a direct result has meant a constant turnover of personnel as we entered the buy to sell market.
\nIt had to be done there was no other option Lawwell has assured us.
\nThe books would have appeared to back him \u00a0up.
\nThe arrival of the basket case that is The 2angers now changes things again you see.
\nLike it or like it not financially we will benefit from their arrival and to the tune of at least \u00a35m a Season possibly even more as the TV and commercial companies jump back on the O\/F bandwagon.
\nThere will be an O\/F Bandwagon you can put your mortgage on that and the powers at be at Celtic will do nothing to suggest otherwise.
\nMoney is king after all if you pardon the obvious contradiction over at Ibrokes.
\nThis could well signal a return to a more traditional approach at Celtic and perhaps back to the building of a side rather than an asset strip every 12 months to help finance the cost of it?
\nWe have yet to master that particular juggling act at Celtic having ended up with several duds on the books and no prize asset to strip this summer?
\nNo I think there may well be a sigh of relief the forces of darkness are once more set to descend on the top flight in numbers.
\nIt could well mean an immediate injection of cash, cash that is the cash we have been starved of over 4 years. The club may now decide that simply ticking over with an average side and an average manager will no longer suffice.
\nSo it could \u00a0mean a clear out of the average players we have been stockpiling and bringing in the quality we so obviously need to progress in Europe.
\nRonnys time might well be up come the Summer? That of course will depend on how we finish this year, \u00a0one of the most frustrating in living memory.
\nTime will tell of course but the fact of the matter is we will have more disposable income next season than the past 4 with their arrival.
\nThis will in turn put the focus firmly back onto the Board.
\nIf they fail to Invest this time questions,serious questions will have to be asked as to why not?
\nI can foresee a change in management if it turns out that money will be invested as I don’t see them trusting Deila with the extra capital. \u00a0Now I think in his case it will be a thanks for the past 2 years and a no thanks to the next 3.
\nA \u00a35-10m injection on top of the normal budget may just be enough too
\nA – Replace those leaving
\nB- Allow us to kick away from any challenge on the Domestic front
\nC- Make us at least competitive enough to have a push for the Champions League in Europe.
\nProvided it is spent wisely this time and not on more projects or “potential”.
\nWe have a chance of doing so with good clutch of young talent all it just needs a bit of quality in there to help kick it on again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
