in 2000 celtic wage bill was close to wage bill of mid ranking premier league clubs
So Suttons, Lennon, Thompson, Hartson et al didn't need to drop that much wage wise to come celtic
20 years later Celtic wage bill is mid range championship levels and we are trying to compete with teams who can pay 20 times per player what we can pay in CL
So what's relative about the growing gap in finances?
West Ham took in 170M last season, no trophies, obscurity and 120 million more in one season mostly from sky tv more than celtic before European add ons.
So are West Ham players on 100k per week good enough to upgrade celtic?
Or are we wanting bigger wage players than that?
