If they invested heavily then I see no reason why they couldn't stay up. It's not like Celtic can't afford to invest £20-25M to stay up. Their turnover is £62M after all.

Obviously. But we are talking about current teams. There are plenty of other clubs that could spend more, but don't.

Hooper scored more than Andy Carroll when he was in the Championship in 09/10. And played less games. Surely the fact that he scored so many goals in a bad team is a sign of quality. Ledley was not for sale at all, he was considered their best player and Roma and Stoke tried to sign him. Commons was top scorer when we bought him in January.
How many League 1 teams could draw twice over two legs with the team top of Serie A? I don't get how a League 1 team would have the means to sign all these top Championship players who premiership clubs are interested in. Southampton, top of the Champinship, have a player proven not good enough for us starting every week!
First of all, have you heard of Darren Bent? This man scores shit loads of goals but have you noticed every team he has played in has done shit? Hooper is Bents shitter cousin.
Celtic use their past glory to buy these players, it isn't as if they are even buying good players. These are lower Championship talents and as has been proved in past seasons, League 1 players can cut it in the Championship.
And all you seem to do is talk about players ability. Have you ever thought your manager is shit? And can't actually get the best out of players, hence the reason they flop. I've said plenty of times, any decent manager would take a team in the SPL (outside of Celtic and Rangers) and crack the top 2 if given a couple of seasons.
Maybe if Celtic joined the English league and gave it a few years they'd improve and be on Southampton's level. But right now, Celtic and Rangers are on par with Sheffield United.

It is funny when you realize how poor the SPL has become. Next year their coefficiency will drop down by over 10 points. Championship level my ass.

Next season the coefficient is better than this season. Two Champions League places.

So let me get this straight. Your league, one that is on the verge of total and utter riddicule due to the fact that it's basically a cup competition with two teams. A league system that is considered possibly the worst balanced league system in the world. Is now going to have that gap between the two biggest clubs and the rest increased by giving them both champions league money each year.
Wonderful. Not that it's the SPL's fault, but that right there might just doom the league.
That's not happening though. Scotland are already dropping from 18th to 20th at the end of the season because all their teams are out and Poland (Laurencio wrote:ConorCelticFC wrote:

) will surpass them. Then afterwords their results from 07/08 will be deleted and they will drop far down into the late twenties.

Also, didn't they always have two champions league spots?

It is getting poorer, even in ten years the standard has declined rapidly but the Old firm are probably Championship level, the rest would be a lot lower.
