Add it all up, and you're getting close to the big tax case amount. People rich enough to spend that sort of money tend not to waste it on football clubs with no prospect of a return.


They said that 7 years ago with the old rangers. Didn't happen. The sfa/spfl can fix the refs and avoid punishment for them, but they're not going to give them £20m or whatever they need. The sfa can't automatically put them in the champions league group stages which is about the only thing that would make them break even. When the directors no longer have the funds to bail them out, who's going to pay wages etc?
Assuming celtic win the league this year I think that King and Park will continue to throw their personal wealth into the black hole for one last try to stop 10 in a row. If celtic win that one as well then I think we could see a big reduction in spend as no matter how rich you are you can't continue to spend your own money at the rate of about £10M-£15M a year for no benefit. I think they would also probably try to cash in on some sellable players at that time as well (I would imagine they will try to hang onto the likes of Morelos for one more Summer unless he causes a stink to leave, which is entirely possible). Much as it sticks in my throat to say it I guess we should all be hoping for a celtic title win to prevent the knuckle draggers from having any hope of Champions League money

Whilst the SFA can't help bail them out just watch for all sorts of rule bending/ignoring to minimise any penalties they impose on sevco should they go into Administration
