Dermot Desmond says Celtic will join EPL.

Would love to get into the prem, our tight fisted share holders my loosen the purse strings and we would be able to attrach high calibre players

 

we wouldnt be playing the big 4 we would be in the prem 2 to make it look more attractive well that was the origional plan

 

Let me see....

* business again during the Transfer Window......more useless talk of moving to the EPL

 

If we were to look at our fans, our stadium size and then the sudden injection of all the EPL money i reckon it would be a matter of a few seasons would become some billionaires toy.

sersiouly only a few years ago we were a club who were in the top 20 of generated income simply because fans pumped in a ridiculous amount of dosh on celtic gear while teams that were around us were there because of small fan input, tv rev etc, so to me that shows that for any person who has more money then sense to invest in a footie club would see absolute gem of a return as IMO if we were to move to the EPL there would be sooooooooooooooo much hype, so much talk and debates, basically it would just blow the media all over the UK into a frantic war of tabloid after tabloid after tabloid.

i think in the first we would be able to attract mid table players and then with say 5 years of sustained we'd be challenging for top 6 and then start attract real qaulity players and managers

 

A load of bollicks ! desmond just popping up and giving us something to dream about to take our minds of our pissy new players and how * we are .
What ever happened to all our "lets sell mcgeady posters" and buy some great players with the cash ??
Now dermot has all of you talking about the epl Well we sold mcgeady and bought stokes now i think that will be a great improvement

 

if we did there would be no European football around for us.

 

Stokes is going to score a * load of goals if his SPL record so far is anything to go by!

Desmond is just making a prediction; no doubt in years to come there will be a restructuring of the British leagues. You're just weak-minded if this quote is distracting you from the transfer window.

 

this is always going to pop up every now and then.its never going to happen.
"Hey epl clubs, how do you fancy having 2 spl clubs join you in the league, all it means is less money for you and more competition to compete with in the league and european spots etc?...."
answer: "* off!!"
if the old firm left, it would be even harder for the rest of the scottish teams to get a tv deal since the 2 big guns are not there. And so less money for them, resulting in a further decline of scottish football. Lets just leave it as it is.

 

The sooner we get a shift to the EPL the better.

 

would not want a British cup or any other, as we would be left wide open as we are at the friendlies we play in, 2 -3 years ago we made a big mistake playing man u in America, at the time we should have invited lesser quality teams, at the same time, America was just stating to get in to soccer and should have Celtic won on American soil we would have had tens of thousands of new supporters, all it done was high light Man u"s profile not ours as kids don't follow loosers after there first match.

 

Its what we need.

 

imagine match of the day. would be * brillant :icon_mrgreen:

 

right now we whould get relegated after 25 games with our current team i dont see how we can challange any 1 when weve not even won the spl crown in 2 years ?

 

the old firm are 2 of the biggest clubs in the world, if man city qpr and the likes can get big investment try and imagine the old firms.

 

The Epl is stale and needs revamped, so here's hoping

 

we will never play in the EPL. why would the blackburns and stokes of this world want us in their league?

 

We would make the Europa League after the first 2 seasons in the EPL and imagine after two seasons in the EPL we would make far more money that finishing first or second in the SPL.

We need to make this step forward. We have the history, the fans and the stadium to join the EPL and after 4 or 5 seasons we would be a force. Id rather wait those 4 or 5 seasons and see us becoming a top 6 EPL team than being in the SPL.

The only major downside would be NO Champions League football for a long long time or maybe even never

they * dont want us ! so it wont happen

 

was wondering when that vid would make an appearance

 

can everybody afford trips to england every second week these days? and can the english fans afford the trips to scotland? also, more fights and deaths because we have to play chelsea and every team that hates celtic (most of the EPL). also it would kill off the rarity of a celtic v liverpool game. going to the epl has it's pros, but it has cons too.
