I was thinking about this the other day. Whenever we try to upgrade to that kind of player

It never really works. Dunno why: maybe it's how we sell ourselves. Maybe too many players just see us as 'little Norwich' too. And we end up wasting stupid amounts of money on players who just don't deliver in the manner of, for example, Snodgrass.

It's a shame - but with the odd exception (Olsson this season above all), it just doesn't seem to work out.

        Lennon's not leaving Celtic for a Championship club. No chance. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 20, 20:36:23
        
        Even if that job came up then they prob go for more Prem experience (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Apr 20, 20:42:18
        
        Oh no they wouldn't. He'd be a very, very short priced favourite (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 20, 20:43:13
        
        but they would still prob go for prem experience (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Apr 20, 20:53:48
        
        I would take Mackay over Lennon any day of the week if we are Championship (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 20, 20:40:11
        
        Me too. And no, I don't think he would - because he wouldn't get the chance (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 20, 20:43:44
