So they've pretty much broke even then with the Dembele and Tierney sales? Our net spend must be huge in comparison

Aye, if only we had been starting with the same level of squad as them to have been able to do the same and not having to offload wages of Pena and Herrera and the likes.... 

They started off with a squad just wee bit stronger than ours when Gerrard arrived... I mean if you go for a net spend over a period of 5/6/7 years what then.... clubs do hold over legacy from previous business.

We're trying to offload players we signed last summer and are still paying a fortune on two who are fast approaching 40.

I genuinely said meh allowed when I read this, what is your point sorry? And how is it relevant?

celtic sold players and assets like Dembele and Tierney from a squad who had been making the CL group stages, we were trying to offload the likes of Pena and Herrera having finished third and been fucked out by Progress. 

There is a clear chasm in those stories and the business conduct of both clubs.

You're talking about them when the 4 games in a league season aren't what's holding us back. 

What's our net spend compared to the likes of Aberdeen and Hibs?

Wit? 

Far greater than theirs which reflects in the league table.

I genuinely said meh when I read you spelling "aloud" as "allowed"....... Actually I never, any adult that says "meh" should be in a special unit.

Remember that time you were banging in about reading as well? It was a Tuesday.

You've been bitching out on this topic for days against anyone saying anything negative about Gerrard. Makes sense when you signed up for the forum just weeks after yer man was appointed manager.

Dropped 39 points against the sides which give us most bother, compared to 9 against selik.

This is all about scrambled eggs to me mate, 

Across a season teams drop points, it happens, always has happened to Rangers, happened to us when the gap in spending was even far greater than it is now.

It happens more often to teams we should be wiping the floor with, that's the crux of the matter here. 

Games against selik haven't stopped us from winning the league in the past two seasons, it's the likes of Kilmarnock, Hibs, Aberdeen and Hearts, it's embarrassing.

I haven't said games against celtic stop us winning the league... I am though saying higher spend typically equates to higher quality which will show over a longer period 

A league typically reflects that

No manager should ever survive not winning a trophy in 7 attempts .

I honestly don't care if he did/didn't as long as we were champions in May tbh.

So why haven't we been able to beat the diddy mobs consistently enough then? 

Can't use that argument to twist it one way when it suits then ignore the other.

Exactly. Look at our spend difference between us and the likes of Kilmarnock, Hearts, Aberdeen, Hibs etc who Gerrard consistently fail against.

Over the course of a season we generally do.. we were going an average of 2.31 points a game that suggest winning games consistently , we beat the diddy teams more often than not, taking it up to 2.5/6 will likely mean additional investment even if were to sack our manager. 

A massive element of the points total celtic can build is the quality of their playing squad which costs more than ours, that is generally how things work. 

Teams that win leagues tend to spend the most money.

Over the course of Gerrard's tenure, we generally haven't. Never mind your points per game and all that shite, we are failing against the same teams consistently....Teams where our budget far outweighs theirs putting an end to that shite.

Hibs- Played 4 won 1

Hearts- Played 5 won 2

Aberdeen- Played 5 won 2

Kilmarnock- Played 6 won 2

That's 30 points dropped in total from those teams alone over the course.

That stat shows more than points per game.

This calendar year we haven't been able to win more than 3 games in a row. 

First half of last season the most we managed was 5.

18/19 was 6.

That isn't consistent.

Very small sample sizes to be fair.
