Taking a brief break from the Glasgow Derby broadcast, the topic has shifted to how Celtic would do if they ever made it to the English Premier League.
The snobbery directed at our game by journalists and football fans south of the border is well documented. Celtic fans are used to hearing criticism about the league’s quality.
We’re all familiar with the terms they choose to employ. Celtic’s most popular nicknames are ‘Farmers League’ and ‘My Nan Could Score’, despite the fact that they frequently lose against English teams in Europe.
As a result, any proposal that Celtic join the Premier League is frequently dismissed. However, Simon Jordan steps in.
£120 million reason Celtic may compete in the Premier League
The outspoken talkSPORT analyst often has a positive and balanced opinion of the Scottish game. Instead of diving right into the foolishness of Celtic being demoted and unable to compete, Jordan reminds his listeners of one important point that is never considered.
Jordan told talkSPORT, “When you have a Battle of Britain, when Celtic or Rangers play against an English team, it’s not cut and dried in Champions League or European football.
“It’s a difficult battle. And I believe that if Celtic and Rangers play in the Championship with attendance of 60,000, they will be promoted to the Premier League within three years.
“And if they’re in the Premier League, all bets are off.
“They have the revenue, they have the world’s attention on the reward, and they have an additional £120 million.
“They would be a top side, no doubt about that.”
Celtic would win the English Premier League.
The money accessible to Celtic is the zinger. £120 million merely to get into the EPL is a game changer.
Consider the type of player we could attract and the level of player we could avoid losing.
Moussa Dembele, Kieran Tierney, and Odsonne Edouard. Do you believe they would have left Celtic if we were competing in England? How about Victor Wanyama, Virgil van Dijk, and Ki Sung-Yeung? Absolutely not.
Keeping players of that caliber and then improving on them would not only allow us to compete in that league, but also to win it.
