New image uploaded to the
Celtic Player Sightings page entitled, Transfer policy 2. Shows that by playing it too safe we are hurting ourselves both on and off the pitch. We need to spread the net further.

Several of they teams don't have the work permit issues we have and can spread the net wider because of that.

If our spend is so low in comparison
to transfer fees surely our wages should be nowhere near most of these. Or is the problem we are stockpiling players who never get a game.

{Ed007's Note - That is a big part of it but we do have a lot more non-footballing staff than most of those clubs mentioned and come next year Rodgers significant salary along with Davies and Toure will be off the bill. Lennon, Kennedy and Duff would probably cost less than Rodgers alone did.
Basically we've shaved £3+ million off the wage bill and the compensation from Leicester (£7-9 million depending who you ask/believe) is sitting in the bank.}

I think for the above reason, the Board will hope NL wins both remaining trophies and can be offered the job.
It was a great experience having such a high profile boss and the domestic legacy he leaves behind may never be equaled/ surpassed.
However, we have amassed a real surplus of 'nearly men', generated the highest running costs ever before and seem to have no better chance of European progress than with WGS and NL's last 16 CL?
The non qualification for this years CL probably cost us Dembele, on top of the cash we lost-out; so the need for continuity and some stability before the CL quals may also be a factor?

For me that legacy is the need to sign a back four, winger and striker to stay still. Oh aye and those memorable CL nights.

Daviebhoy We employ a manager to get the best out of our existing squad and bring in players to help to fill in the gaps . . If we discard our whole back four and bring in replacements for all, it will inevitably take time to gel . Next season we will probably have Ralston, Ayer, Jojo and Tierney . We will have back up amongst younger players and Briton.
