At the moment would they even be in the Prem ?
If my granny had baws she'd........
How many times a year do folk need to go down this route?
Fact of the matter is if they were admitted to the league within 3 years they would become bigger than all the teams in that league bar a couple.
Another fact is that they won't be offered that chance....sadly.
Briefly when placed in if they merged only to reside in the Championship :smirk:

Well the first bit is more opinion than fact
The second bit you are prob right - but I don't think Celtic would want to join the EPL anyway
Of course they would. Without a shadow of doubt they would.
Our scene is dead and has been for a long time and it would not recover when the filth return.
Today we played a 2nd string, concentrating on the 15m prize of next week safe in the knowledge that a defeat today meant nothing as we'll still be too strong for the rest over the season.
Great fun.... Not.

But going into the Prem would stop the going into Europe and winning any trophies
Would possibly put you alongside teams like Newcastle , Villa , West Ham at best
In my opinion off course based on the Forbes/Deloitte list of top clubs
As I said for the 1st 2 or 3 seasons.
I am not sure folk down south realise what a huge huge club it is. I have no doubt they would be a british super power but as I say it's all a waste of breath talking about it as it'll not be happening.

Depends on what you are using to judge how big a club is ?
What makes Celtic bigger than Newcastle for example ? Same size ground and fan base - Newcastle prob have a bit more money.
Cant see any reason why Celtic would get anywhere near the Top 8 clubs - unless there is something missing ?
What would attract players to play for Celtic ?
Same what??
After reading that I know it's pointless debating with someone with a lack of knowledge. Same ground size and fan base as Newcastle eh?
Jeesus.

So why would they become of the biggest in the prem then ?
What are your reasons ? Genuine question
Im just struggling to see why the top players would go there - the players that are essential to get clubs to the top level in the prem
And which two clubs would be above Celtic after 2 or 3 seasons ?

What is so shocking about it ?
Surely as a manager he hasnt done a bad job ? Would you be shocked because Lennon is also linked

Just shocked that he would consider leaving such a big club for Palace.

Its a massive step up for him going from the Scottish First Div to the Prem

I wonder how many experts on here would have predicted the top 5 teams in the Barclays, Sky Bet and SPL leagues at this stage.

Well most leagues have hardly played any games yet so normally will wait to around 10 games as that gives a truer picture of the top 5
Last Monday the top 4 in the prem were Chelsea, City , liverpool and Arsenal - thats changed because two of those teams havent played yet - but at the end of October will give a truer picture
The Championship has most of the front runners up at the top and the SPL will take shape as the season goes on

Don't think either of them would be successful at Palace!
Hugely different mindset required from a 'leading/successful' Manager to one that is going to have to scrap, cajole and inspire all season! The likes of Dave Bassett made a career of doing exactly that - and Tony Pulis seems pretty good in the role too (Big Sam?). Fulham aren't having any success, even with a 'top' Manager! It's actually why I rate 'arry - he's really rather good in both roles - just bad with money!
Not sure that Alex McLeish's move down south was an overall success!
If McCoist is considering leaving Rangers, then either the situation is really bad, the underground undermining rumour machine is really good - or a healthy dose of both - imo!
