Today some internet sites are suggesting that Chris Sutton has said Celtic should copy Sevco in the way they go about player recruitment.
The notion makes me laugh.
For many reasons.
First, I read what Sutton actually said, as opposed to what these outlets think he said, and he’s certainly not suggested anything of the kind.
Whatever else you might say about Celtic’s transfer policy, we’re not the ones saying we won’t be held to ransom by Brentford and St Johnstone.
We’re not the ones subsisting on cheap deals, loans and free transfers.
Sutton doesn’t think we show enough ambition, and neither do I, but the notion that in the same breath as he’s pointing that out that he’s suggesting we trawl Accrington Stanley and the like for players at the end of their contracts … I think not.
