It seems agreed Celtic have ( recently ) acquired some really good players to add to MacGregor , Rogic so the should get some time to gel That he did we got papped out to Artmedia Bratislava getting beat 5-0 in his 1st game. Oh how I remember the banter and how much of an unmitigated disaster they said he was going to be. He then in the next 2 seasons took us to the last 16 of the Champions League and beating the likes of Man U and Milan. Not that I expect us to be doing this next season however give him and this squad time to gel properly and I’m confident we will be better Edited February 25, 2022 by Jinky67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad for a 1st season plus a healthy set of financials too. Europe will come 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You finished 2nd as I’ve already said and done slightly better in Europe as were only knocked out of two competitions. You make out Ange has risen a Phoenix from the ashes. He’s not, he has the team with the biggest budget by a mile, who wins the league most seasons, top of the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many points did we finish behind Rangers? At what stage did we reach in the domestic cup competitions? All things you are looking past because it doesn’t fit the narrative you are continually trying to push. And how can we have done better if only 2 European competitions were in existence? What an utterly fucking stupid suggestion We finished last mate….last. If the ECL existed last season we wouldn’t have even qualified so how can it be better? You used to be quite balanced and reasonable poster and i held you in pretty high regard but recently you have become a boring anti-Ange cheerleader repeating the same shite over and over again.

I’m not anti-Ange, I just don’t think he’s the God-like super coach that many portray him as. You will quite rightly be delighted if you win the league, and good luck to you, but it’s not some super achievement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB1872 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 "I want to go deep in every competition. I’ve never entered anything without thinking about trying to be successful in it. I took Australia to a WC and thought I could win it. I know people will say I’m being ridiculous but that’s just the way I’m made up. You go into something and do your utmost to be successful so that’s what we’ll do in Europe. We’re in it and we want success in it. That’s what we’ll try to do. I’m not discounting this competition. I want us to perform well in it and win because it adds to the prestige and story of this football club." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I must be mistaken. We usually run we with a net surplus, just looking out how much we spend is nonsense as money isn’t forked out if we don’t receive transfer the money in the same or previous window.
