So late in to the season and Celtic are on course for the treble (domestic). May be Brendan does not want a challenge next season with a likely hot ready Rangers under Gerrard.

MAC33   10 #963 Posted February 28, 2019 The budget for Celtic is like bigger than the entire pub league combined.  Celtic and Rangers in the EPL would have the financial muscle to compete with the Big 6.  Their fan base is monstrous,possibly as big as Man.Utd.  A big 8 will result in many more interesting games.  Super one sided matches in the EPL are its weakness.  You only see these matches involving one of the Big 6.

Never heard of that i the SPL Mr.T. but may have missed something can you explain ? Also thought it was top 4 In EPL. 25 minutes ago, iansheff said: West Bromwich Albion have sacked head coach Darren Moore after their draw at home to struggling Ipswich Town. Yes that is a surprise, what would they have done if they were mid-table, shot him ? Didn't kow the Baggies were that sort of club.

Whoever wins the SPL has to play off for a spot in the CL, quite unfair, in my view. That was how it was, not long ago, don't know if it's changed recently.

Terrible decision.  They turned to him when Pardew got sacked and he nearly kept them in- would have if there were more games left.  They're in play off position so this is a strange move by West Brom- hope they miss out altogether now.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You are only as good as your last result in most football clubs' boardrooms these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
