I don't ge this "Massive" pond..aside from Man City - Man Utd - Chelsea - Spurs (Who win nothing) - Arsenal - Liverpool the rest are simply fixture fillers of no real consequence but get £ 100m + a year from TV...might as well give it to Brechin of Scarrothorpe who would put it to better use.

Tin pot club. My nan could get a game for them. I'm suspicious of the motivation for this kind of post. It's disrespectful to fans who stay admirably committed to their club despite decades of disappointment. This is atypical of the Celtic fan base whose values are the reason I take such an ongoing interest in the well-being of the team.
My inclination is to fight for the underdog and against injustice and unfairness. There isn't an inherent institutional bias in the English game, like Celtic had to overcome to achieve success, but they have their own economic imbalance to contend with due to shiekhs and oligarchs.
I smell nauseating arrogance and an ignorance of the bigger picture. Their only error was employing a gnarled bigot 20 years ago who led them to the brink.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
What a load of crap. I have left this thread alone deliberately, but for the latest poster to have a pop at Everton like this is pathetic. You obviously know nothing about English football mate, as Everton won two leagues, a Cup Winners Cup and were denied entry to the European Cup at the time by the antics of our neighbours after 1984. Tierney may or may not come here, but rest assured that (taking into account your Kilmarnock jibe) he will be involved in far more testing games than he will have in Scotland. I love Celtic, so will not slate the league in which they play. I will say though, that until these foreign investors turned up we were still competitive. Now that we are owned by a fella with a few bob we are looking to compete again, and the likes of Tierney may help us. I have studied him, however, and I reckon he will struggle physically in the Premier League. The standard in Scotland generally is nowhere near the standard down here. I hope Tierney succeeds, at Celtic, at Goodison, or wherever he finishes up. I'll leave you in ignorance about Southampton's standing compared to Everton's in English football. Good luck to the Celts this coming season. Stevie G will really push you......
Comparisons with Kilmarnock are spot on. One time league winners, three Scottish Cups and recent League Cup Winners (far more recent than any Everton trophy). Also Fairs Cup semi finalists. Also, if you had actually studied KT closely, the last thing you would suggest is that he is not up to the physical demands of any league. Finally, you say you won’t slate the SPFL then say it is nowhere near the standard in England. I call shenanigans. EDIT- in what sense were they competitive other than one rogue 4th place finish?
You sound like an arrogant Hun with some of those comments.
Everton are nowhere near along the same lines as Kilmarnock. Up until Shankly and even for some years after you could argue they were the big club in Liverpool but European cup wins in the 70s and the game becoming modern and attracting foreign fans the fact Liverpool had the City name went along way for them also on top of their success in becoming the big club in that City. However if their is still any sleeping giants left down South then Everton are more than likely it.
In saying all that I hope KT stays. I think another year, possibly 2 wouldn't do him too much harm but for the fact I want him to get as far as possible and play at the highest level then he'll need to leave at some point and certainly in the next couple of years to really fulfill his potential.

I never realized so many people spent so much time thinking about Everton's relative place in the history of British football.

Lot of Everton and Man City chat to go through. Not to be rude but anyone know the verdict? Likely to stay?

Or that Everton fans appear to have a witty nickname for every successful manager.

And why on earth would any Celtic fan actively hope for the departure of one of our best players? Another year or two at our club “wouldn’t do him too much harm” you say. What sort of nonsense is that?

It's kind of funny on here, the way people always bleat on about how SKY have skewed people's perception of clubs status, and that we're a bigger club than pretty much all the EPL, other than Man Utd and maybe Liverpool, and the nouveau riche are an anomaly that don't count. Then the same people deride Everton, a club who until two years ago, had more League titles than Chelsea and Man City combined, as a tinpot, perpetual relegation fighting Mickey Mouse club.
You can't moan that EPL fans are disrespectful and ignorant of Celtic status and history on one hand while sneering at any club outside they SKY favourites in the other.
Great post mate. I've never had a pop at Celtic on this forum, and have been a Celtic follower for longer than most on here. Celtic are the big fish in the pond. We are a medium sized fish in a massive pond. 👍 well put . 9 league titles 5 FA Cups ,all apart from one , won before the mega bucks was piled into shampooe like Chelsea and City

Everton were the richest club in England in the ‘60)s but nowadays have no where near the finance to challenge the top 5 English clubs which makes it all the more galling they can be rumoured to beable to offer our players 4 or 5 tines what we can afford.

EVERTON have pulled out of the race to sign Kieran Tierney — after deciding the Celtic star isn’t worth £25million after all. Toffees boss Marco Silva had indicated he was ready to meet the Hoops’ asking price — busting his £18m budget for a new left-back to succeed Leighton Baines. But the Goodison side are now looking elsewhere because they feel £25m is too much for a Scottish Premiership player — albeit one with Champions League experience and international caps. Their other main target is Spurs and England’s Danny Rose, who is likely to leave the Londoners. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/kieran-tierney
