Let’s do the obvious one first; spending some of it on players with the objective of going further in the big competition than we have since the format changed. With mega-money behind Celtic who could realistically argue we wouldn’t be well placed to reach the Groups at least, every single year?

Furthermore, this would raise our profile through the roof.

This kind of investment would make sense if a European League of some kind was in the offing, and if that European League was going to involve us. Greater quantities of cash would come in than ever before and whilst we don’t command the TV market share of England a European League would remove that handicap at a stroke. A club like ours, with friends around the world, would be watched by many millions and ensure a return on their investment.

The bounty for reaching the latter stages of the Champions League is also going to go up and up every single year … and so a little “speculate to accumulate” wouldn’t be so completely off-base, especially when you consider the next big change ….
