What is Celtic's model? Is it to simply win the SPL and have a go in Europe?
There is talk of Arsenal following a Dortmund/Sevilla model of buying young talent cheapish and then, if necessary, selling at a healthy profit to be competitive yet self-sustaining. It seems this model would also suit Celtic. The SPL is never going to provide enough broadcast revenue to take them to then next level and their current piecemeal approach doesn't seem to be working.
