Putting the context to the financial climate that Celtic operate in. If Celtic fail to adapt then we slide further and further behind our European peers!

Very enjoyable and informative read.

I know that you take your suggestions straight to the club, would it be wrong to suggest there are members of the board, indeed the Executive Team who would agree with much of your recommendations/solutions but there is one person who views this modern stuff akin to witchcraft?

There is an institutionalised conservatism at the club

Ain’t that the truth! Far too many Tories(Red & Blue) and Fianna Fáil types.

Lot of sense in the article not sure I agree with the fees quoted though. Be interested to see the workings for them.

Sutton would cost more than Edouard imo.

Tosh McKinley £5 million. That would be a bargain for that left foot. Especially if we had Sutton to get on the end of those cross balls.

Doesn’t football inflation also affect clubs in Belgium and similar sized countries with smaller budgets than ours?

Within Scotland it doesn't apply directly but it impacts any club who trade in the international market. so yes, it also impacts Belgium. There is nuance around amount of home grown talent, our place within the UK etc but that's for later articles.

Look forward to hearing why we can’t compete with Brugge in the transfer market
