He emptied them all keeping just McGregor and Taylor and still won a double, yes money helps him buy the players but to do so whilst keeping a low net spend and actually finding the right player to fit his style and embed that so quickly is testament to him as a coach and if you think that requires no effort then everyone would be able to do it. The Manager describes the situation well in that he doesn’t mind us being the biggest club with the biggest budget because that money comes from the fans who many of have little and decide to spend a significant portion of it on the club. His job is to not put it in the bank but to reinvest it in the thing they love. A true underdog story, absolutely amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses the resources Celtic have. Am I in a Chris Morris sketch? Just because Postecoglou doesn't talk through the budget sheets post-game, doesn't mean the gap isn't there Celtic have more money than most in Scottish football. They have brought this money in through success and financial prudence. Both of these statements can be true. 9 hours ago, Jinky67 said: It’s not a hard luck story however what he did inherit was a shit show with a lot of players disengaged and an eye on the exit door.

Nobody is saying he hasn't done a good job, and Goodwin's time at Aberdeen shows spending money in the Scottish game doesn't always equal success, but having the money released by a board to sign 9+ starters, who you want, tends to be a luxury in the Scottish game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ange's mantra was we can get better at champions league level by being evolved every year nothing about financial disparity. Whether you see that as the money earned will make Celtic better or the experience Celtic will gain each time we compete like Ange believes time will tell. The main problem on here is the diddies can't separate the footballing side to the financial side of the game. If we are talking about Martindale he mentions it every chance he can get and uses the media to down play his chances of winning a game of football,playing the under dog works very well for Livingston by keeping the expectation low. On the footballing side Livingston play to their strengths and are very good at it that's why they get results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Sorry to interrupt this invigorating threat filled with ground-breaking financial discussions Anyway will Livi got to three at the back format for this one? We've tried it before with the old firm with mixed results but the choice is far better now than previously with Boyes and De Lucas now in the running and Fitzwater finally seeming to be over his injury.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotiaNostra Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Thought we were better last weekend than in a while. A bit more pace about us. Oh looks like what we need, strength and a bit of size upfront. Time will tell on that. Id like to see Iwata play tonight, the balnce of Central midfield has never looked quite right this season, though credit to Mooy in his performances recently. It still feels not quite balanced and flowing. Though its getting better. Edited February 1, 2023 by ScotiaNostra 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used three centre backs in both matches against Celtic so far this season. Longridge played on the left both times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more appropriate to post about it on this thread for obvious reasons if Livingston have the lowest budget and football is all about finances why are they sitting in 4th? It's easy to say the rest are shite in a footballing sense but are they all shite in a financial sense as well? Your club is proving your point is wrong M8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Postecoglou was as good as Martindale he'd need to have Celtic getting to the semi's in the CL. That’s our next manager sorted after Ange moves on then? Naw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your playing budget he'd do a lot better than your current manager playing in Europe anyway, Martindale knows how to punch above his financial weight and get results. And in Scotland you have to be completely useless not to win the league managing a team that dwarfs 10 of the other teams playing in the league, and still have a larger budget than your only 'competition'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can understand them trying to pretend it isn't the reason they're better than at least 10 of the teams in the league, they have to, or winning the league would be boring and meaningless for them, but they're surely not brainwashing themselves into believing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His past criminal record would be a big stick for Sevco fans to beat you with, and it would certainly be magnified more than it has at Livi, although the media etc seems to have accepted that baggage because he owned it an didn't try to blame anything else for his wrong doing. I want him to be at Livi for as long as possible, but he deserves a go at a bigger club. He was at Rangers though, and is prob a Rangers fan still, so i can't see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Pretty strong defensively but not sure how Shinnie gets the call ahead of Bradley or Kelly - probably an experience thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
