Brendan Rodgers Claims Celtic Would Easily Finish In The Premier League Top Six If They Left The SPL 

Celtic isnt a big club.only in Scotland they are. teams around Europe just think hope we get Celtic that be 6 points

@@AANDYist would they think that if we had prem money

@@AANDYist they’re a big club with a lot of fans world wide, lots of trophies and European history, I never said they are a competitive champions league team

​@@AANDYistin what world aren't celtic a big club. It's only united and Liverpool in England in the same stratosphere as celtic

​@AANDYist Feyenoord and Atletico never got the 6 points your wrong.... again

It's okay to not know anything about football mate don't worry about your small brain it happens

@@justablokepostingfunvids7137 you talking to me

@@justablokepostingfunvids7137 he's absolutley correct. Their squad is garbage.

@@basicfilmblog They wouldn't have that same squad in the Premier League because they'd have hundreds of millions in extra revenue. Do you need that to be explained to you with crayons?

​@briggm what would make them any different to a championship team getting promoted. They don't finish top 6 with money .

Scottish football will never be respected down there ever even if Celtic or rangers won the champions league it would be classed as a fluke just like rangers getting to the Europa league final it was classed as a fluke a one off down there

You don't really get football do you

@@justablokepostingfunvids7137 hahaha guess neither does rodgers either. Scottish football is a joke, full of league 1 amd washed up prem players. Give it a rest

​@@justablokepostingfunvids7137 Teams in league One are on a par with top half of league one at best. If they played prem teams every week they would lose a lot the step up in quality between the Scottish prem and the EPL is massive

@@Scoobydooo85 and you think Celtic in the Prem with their billionaire owner wouldn't upgrade the players with the Prem tv money banked? Stadium is also easily upgradeable to 70k.

@@tommym1966 your talking about going in and competing now. Of course any team can spend money look at what city did. As of now celtic would struggle to get out of leage 1. Doesn't matter how much money you throw at players they wont want to live in glasgow

If you are English why don't you write in Emglish? Instead of double Dutch! 😂

Sounds like a massive cope. The facts are that Celtic would not win the championship. Their manager left CFC - and got sacked from a team in the championship. nuff said.

Sure there's snobbery, but why would they want to play in England in the first place? They won't dominate like they do now, away matches will be at the other end of the country, and they will only be playing English teams. And the sectarianism with those two teams is a massive issue

@@SuperNintendoMii “Snobbery”? “Easily finish in the Top 6”. Let’s remind ourselves who said that? To be clear, this means EASILY finish above Chelsea, Man U, Newcastle and West Ham. But it’s “English Snobbery”. Pot … Kettle … Black … Brendan did not talk about “Passion”, he was talking about having sufficient “Quality” to finish “EASILY” within the Top 6. Please! Beam me up. 🙄

Makes a change from you giggling after you've finished off your sister I suppose..... Fair play mate

It's okay mate you are a fool it's okay we need guys and girls cleaning septic tanks your essential

Next joke 😂😂😂. Celtic would win the premier league within 3 years.

Give us the Premier League money and then we’ll see 👍

You're definitely, as your name says, a rocket 🚀 at least you own it, I'll give you that doll.

@@aidaaan_5083 It's not that simple. You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't spend it wisely, it means nothing. The Championship clubs getting promoted go for broke most of the time now, because if you can maintain in the PL for a few seasons, you can start spending big money. It's a double-edged sword, though, because if you go back down, the parachute payments help, but they're never enough to cover the costs of going all-out and failing in the PL. Look at a club like Huddersfield Town. They were in the PL 5 years ago. They just got relegated to League One. Sunderland is another example. Big club, relegated from the PL 7 years ago. The were in League One, but they came up to the Championship again, where they're pretty much just hanging around. Hell, Wigan won the FA Cup 11 years ago and got relegated the same season. They're in League One.

1) If you had one of the biggest fanbases in the world the SPL would already be massive. Your massive global fanbase would be pumping millions into the league via Sky who would fall overs themselves to promote you. France only have one big team (PSG) yet their league is far richer than the SPL. It's the 4th richest after England, Spain and Germany. 2) Every time I look at surveys to determine the clubs with the most fans, Celtic never appear 3) Your attendance figures are obviously bogus. Every home game shows a stadium littered with empty seats. Your fans only turn up o European and old firm games 4) You do not have a successful European history. You enter every season because you have no competition and since the European tournaments began in 1958 you have won one European trophy. 5) To give you an idea of scale it's estimated that Celtic have 9 million fans worldwide. Man Utd have an estimated 659 million.

@@BashingOnesBishop-nu3ec Sorry you are wrong 1. Celtic currently have 52000 season ticket holders and thousands on a waiting list. A simple google search estimates 800 official Celtic Supporters Clubs worldwide in 60 different countries. Very well supported in Ireland and USA due to clubs Irish roots. 2. The stats on fans you refer to are massively influenced by the marketisation of the EPL and other leagues, which Celtic are not in. Man Utd are massive regardless of course, but many clubs in EPL are not and live on the EPL TV money and marketisation. Celtic as a club dwarf many of these clubs. 3. The club has a massive worldwide support. Not many clubs would take 100 000 to the 2003 Europa final in Saville as an example. Still holds record for largest ever attendance in European cup match - over 140 000 against Leeds semi final 1970 - which we won (90 per cent Celtic fans). Not just the large worldwide support base, but pretty much unrivalled passion of our support is also significant re clubs being driven to success 4. Not many clubs have won the European cup, actually, so that is significant. We were strong 60’s 70’ early 80’s. We have been hindered in recent years due to a lack of potential to compete with the finances of other European leagues. However, we have a decent recent record against English teams, actually. 5. The reason for the lack of TV revenue is not due to Celtic not being a big club - that’s just rubbish - it’s the Scottish league more generally and small potential of the other clubs - small population of the country more broadly (EG France population about 65 mil - scotland about 5!) 6. Celtic would easily be one of the biggest clubs in the EPL with everything that comes with that league and with Celtic 7. It’s actually not something I’d be in favour of as the league is just a money-making machine, increasingly corrupt influences, and has completely lost its soul. An opinion of many of my English pals too. 8. The exact reason it will never happen anyway, is that EPL clubs are well aware that Celtic Dwarfs most clubs, so its a risk to many of them. In 2000s it was close. Wanted by the top few biggest English clubs - rejected by the rest for those reasons. No offence and its fine to disagree. All the best

He's saying they would be top 6 now with the current squad.

@@SlykillfulI don’t believe that to be honest. It’s hard to say where current team would finish. Probably about mid table. But as a club, of course there is the potential to be one of the top teams. The team in the early 2000s with Larsson would have been top 4 no doubt. Played Liverpool and Blackburn (who were 3rd at time) off the pitch away from home in the europa 2003. Consistently won in CL at Celtic park during that period. It’s probably also worth pointing out that the gap in the EPL between the quality of the top 6 teams and bottom 8 teams is absolutely enormous. Like 2 completely different leagues. The value of very average players at that bottom end of EPL is ridiculous. The only reason for them being massively overrated and overvalued is how that league is marketed. An example. Matt O’Reilly 23 danish international, absolute class - will likely leave us in summer / be sold. We’ll get about 30 mil for him. After inevitably just a few good first performances in EPL (if he goes there) he’ll be worth at least 60 and increasing

Bingo 👍 don’t wanty join the EPL though spl is faster paced and brutal plus the prem is on the way down they’ve had their glory days 🤷‍♂️ EPL now a one team league

And if they were given 150m to spend before they played any of those 38 games?

Ceptic would be fighting relegation from the off and they know it.

@@colinwilliams4338 Coco tripper alert 🚀🚀🚀

I really do not mean any offence to palace (who I used to go watch sometimes when living in London with friends who supported them,), brighton & fulham. But its frankly preposterous to compare celtic as a club (not current team) but as a club to those clubs. Are you serious?

If celtic are bigger than 95% of English clubs how come Man City sell more replica shirts globally than the entire SPL combined and how come celtic need the English league to make them successful? Why are your own fans pumping money into the club?

@@johntate5050maybe because they were European champions and they have the players that all the kids idolise? Money talks I suppose

@@tonydunphy4962 Money certainly talks at celtic. You've been buying the scottish title for the past 100 years.

​@@johntate5050Load of rubbish virtually every team in the premier league has more social media followers than Celtic

The 1960s are long gone. Celtic these days are about the same size as Sunderland.

It's okay mate you don't know anything about football but keep your head up still time to educate yourself

@@justablokepostingfunvids7137 I know Scottish football is sh1te 😂

Did you listen to the interview? They’re not saying what would happen if you copy and paste the current squad in 😂 they’re saying if you copy and paste the revenues and then watch how it plays out over x number of years.

So clubs not near their size or revenue without the PL TV money, can survive in the PL but Celtic wouldn't? Both Rangers & Celtic would thrive in the PL, because of the revenue & sponsership deals they'd get etc. If Spurs, Newcaslte, Aston Villa & West Ham can complete in the European places, then they can to.

@@tt99football56 the fact is it will never happen 😂. Stay in your little goldfish bowl. No surrender

They obviously wouldn’t be playing with the same financial restraints or the same team.. they’d be one of if not the biggest earners in a PL scenario. Celtic would become a very scary team to play against in the space of 2/3 seasons. One PL money transfer window for Celtic could make them quite a formidable force.

I think he knows more than you. Typical english arrogance about the overhyped saudi/ american premier league.

He never had any credibility.

@@johntate5050 Bet hes worried about your opinion of him.........or maybe not lol

@@kino6445 That doesn't affect the fact that he doesn't have any credibility.

@@johntate5050 In your opinion which your entitled to. Fortunately many thousands more than you believe he has credibility. And hes earned it over time. Made some mistakes but havent we all

You r a tosser talking shite

Man Utd and Liverpool are bigger in Ireland than Celtic. Imagine not even being biggest club in your ancestral “home”. You notice all Celtic ever talk about is their support. If football was based on support only Man Utd would clean up every year and Leicester would never win PL. Next comment please?

They'd deffo finish in top 6 in la liga that's a different debate

@@marc.the.red1987Bilbao, Sociedad, Betis, would batter them

​@YeTism yeah you're right top 6 in French league then we can agree on that

@@marc.the.red1987 Look at btheir coefficent they are not even 10 top country. Which means that winning the Socttish league does not even qualify you to group stage UCL LMFAO

And yet the champions of England can barely fill their stadium each weekb😂

yeah man city never beat us at parkhead what did they do to your team talking shite

Celtic would factually win the premier league within 3 seasons and would win the championship with 5 men ☘️

Savage!

What's that got to do with celtic

Do you think if Celtic and Rangers were in the Premier League and their revenue immediately grew by hundreds of millions, that they'd still have the same level squads as those that have recently completed in European competitions? I'll give you a clue: they wouldn't.

​@@briggmactually ffp would prevent either of those clubs breaking into the top 6 straight away it'd take them awhile to be able to build up squads good enough to compete in the prem. If there was no ffp then they'd have a chance but U only have to look at Newcastle to see having all the money in the world doesn't mean U can get every player U want to be able to challenge instantly. They are both huge clubs so if they can survive in the prem for a few years then they could develop into real challengers but I think realistically with the squads they have now they'd be facing relegation battles.

​@@briggmhow would revenue grow that much though? You've seen clubs like leeds come into the premier league, with more financial resources than Celtic and then get relegated in two seasons. To put it into perspective, if you put Celtic in the championship they would struggle to get in the premier league.

@@jamesfretwell1511 Leeds don't have more financial resources than Rangers or Celtic in the Prem. Especially not a Celtic with a billionaire owner.

So Celtic need the English to make them a big club.

@@johntate5050Celtic are already a big club. Bigger than virtually every English club.

Said for years. The English clubs are afraid to let Celtic and sevco into the English leagues, because they’d dominate in years after. Always found it hilarious they covered themselves up by allowing welsh clubs in because they knew the lack of danger or threat. You allow the Glasgow derby clubs in, and you can guarantee major investment. Fantastic stadiums, fantastic fan bases, fantastic club facilities. No brainer for investors if the clubs got the invite. So for anyone that says we wouldn’t compete, think about what would happen with the money your clubs receive and if Celtic got it. And stop thinking about how they would perform in the current state

@@michaelowens8310 1) The Welsh clubs didn't abandon a Welsh league to join the English league. The Welsh clubs were invited to join the English league when the league was founded because the Welsh had no league to play in. 2) The English don't let Celtic & Rangers in for the same reason why they don't let Ajax or PSG in. Have a guess what that reason is. 3) I'd be squirming with embarrassment if I were a Celtic fan. Begging the English to let Celtic join is as humiliating as it can possibly get. 4) I thought you lot hated the English and Great Britain. You need to pester the Irish to let you join their league or better still collaborate with your pals at Hamas and form a Palestinian super league 5) Since when have Celtic Park and Ibrox been fantastic stadiums? They're both antiquated cow sheds 6) If Celtic and Rangers are such huge clubs with huge fanbases, why do they need the English to make them successful? 7) Now get back down on your knees and beg the English some more.

@johntate5050 are you OK mate? Do you need a hug? Did I hit a nerve 😅

It's okay mate you don't know anything about football but hey keep at it

Big Anges Celtic played West Ham in a friendly a few years ago...I know a friendly..The Spanners stuck 6 past them for a reply of two🤷.

Sure bud you keep thinking that Celtic and even rangers would both hold there own only clubs as truly big as them in britain are Man U and Lpool facts

Well, triggered a couple there didn't i 🤣

Celtic would factually win the premier league within 3 seasons and would win the championship with 5 men ☘️

@@Cruioooi78that’s reasonably achievable but the fact Rodger’s has said if they leave today they would be top 10 is waffle

They would though. West Brom's (5th in the Championship) best player in the second half of the season was a loan from Celtic who wasn't getting a game for them.

Within a few years? It took Liverpool 20 years to re-win the title, Arsenal haven't won it for 20 years and Man Utd haven't won it for 10 years yet you think a club that has had 100 times the spending power of its rivals for the past 100 years would just walk in and be competitive on an equal playing field? Behave.

@@johntate5050 You better believe it.

pmsl

Aberdeen and Hearts are league 1 level at best.

@@johntate5050 Did you read the original comment you clown

No they aren't and no they wouldn't 😂😂😂

they would be starting much further back than the big six are - currently, they'd be just good enough to finish bottom half

That is crazy talk. 🤡

If you were massive worldwide you wouldn't need the English. You'd be pulling in the revenue from your massive fanbase and the SPL would be massive because of it.

In 2022 Champions League Group Stage, Rangers got beat 7-1 at home on by Liverpool… and ended up on 0 points. 😂😂😂

@@GIBBO4182let him make his point, think he has forgotten that Rangers got beat 7-1 at home by Liverpool in the 2022 Champions League Group Stage and Rangers got 0 pints 😂😂😂

Didn't Rangers in the CL fail to get a single point, are you a bit on the dim side?

@@GIBBO4182 Yes,a few years ago Scottish teams(despite having zero cash compared to the biggest spenders in the world) could still get teams to a Euro final! Rangers and Celtic could easily take over your poxy EPL if you gave them the dosh! Now go away your boring us!

What is Embarrassing is Celtic in this season’s Champions League. Bottom of the Group with 4 points.

It ain’t happening. Not because EL or FA afraid it because you’re a Scottish/Irish club. Not English. That’s geographic fact not racism. Enjoy the scenery up there it is stunning.

So they need the English to make them a big club.

@@johntate5050 the English clubs needed TV money to become big

@@iaindw1 So you need the English to make you big? You clearly cant do it on your own. Maybe you could go down with a begging bowl and plead with them to let you join.

My thoughts exactly

But they wouldn't ever be allowed to move straight into the Prem, they'd have to go through lower leagues and all the money issues that come with that.

😂😂😂😂 aye right then

Forest are bigger

Forest are definitely bigger.

You keep believing that👍 Celtic are clearly a much bigger club than forest hands down

@@johntate5050Forest are bigger 😂😂😂. Have you actually watched us this season. We have 60k every week. You English are so delusional
