Exglasgowasc Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Absolute crap from UEFA. This lot get pumped at QR2 for the champions league yet are still allowed at a second bite of the cherry by remaining in europe to have a shotty at the next trophy.

Scotty CTA Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I cheer for all Scottish teams in Europe except Celtic and Sevco who are really just 'Scottish-based' teams. I never saw the reasoning in cheering for a club to go and make a boatload of money in a tournament so that they can return and hammer you with their finances domestically. Anyway, how many millions is this going to cost Celtic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but the prize money will be peanuts to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should.sack lennon if they want to.win the league And yet incredibly there are still plenty of people online calling for him to be put back into the Scotland team Brown has declined sharply over the last eighteen months. Celtic should be looking for a replacement. Edited August 26, 2020 by ErsatzThistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty CTA Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Everything is connected, though. Can Celtic keep French Eddie? If they are able to, would they still be able to strengthen as they would like to without the prize money they were counting on? FWIW, I think that the pressure of this season is going to get to both Celtic and Sevco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I think that the pressure of this season is going to get to both Celtic and Sevco. As far as I understand the business model we budget for worst case Euro scenario every season. Of course failure impacts on every aspect of the club from player/staff bonuses and hoped for revenue. Likely side effects are we'll ditch the expensive bids for Duffy and Riquelme and continue discussions with PSG and Man City over a couple of loans instead. Of course its entirely possible that Edouard may agitate for a move as well now but we'll just have to wait and see 🙅♂️ Edited August 26, 2020 by slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde1998 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 The situation for Celtic now is: 80% chance of going in the Europa League third qualifying round (two of ten teams will be drawn into the play-off) and playing a winner from the Europa League second qualifying round. 13% chance of going in the Europa League play-off round and playing a winner from the Europa League third qualifying round. 7% chance of going in the Europa League play-off round and playing a loser from the Champions League third qualifying round.

Celtic would've only lost a net €200,000 by not getting to the third qualifying round (in terms of UEFA prize money). However, had they reached the CL play-off round, they'd've won an extra €5m and the group stages would've seen north of €30m. In the EL, they'll receive €300,000 if they get knocked out in the play-off round (not awarded if they win) and a group stage place (which they've just made harder to achieve) would be worth around €7m (+€570k per group win, +€190k per group draw, +€500k for qualifying from the group and +€500k for winning the group).

Kouassi was ok but never really got a chance so was punted and then we signed Soro for a seven figure some in January and I don't think he's kicked a ball for us. Our recruitment over the years has been a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
