Quinn opens the purse strings

Last updated : 23 April 2007 By Clydebuilt

Brian Quinn has waxed lyrical on future spending plans and WGS’s role as manager. Speaking to Radio 5 Live Quinn opined "Some players will leave, it happens to every club every season."

The jubilant chairman continued "We'll have to think about replacements and strengthening and we'll sit down with Gordon.

"He has been an absolute model in this respect, he never carps, he never complains and we work together.

"And we'll expect to bring in some further class footballers in the course of the summer.

"Gordon, I think, enjoys being at Celtic. There's no indication whatsoever that he wants to move.

"He's taken a wee while to establish himself with the Celtic fans and that's understandable.

"But they were singing his praises yesterday, and very deservedly in my opinion."

So much for the rumours circulated by members of the press that Strachan had lost the board!

Continuing on his vision for Celtic’s potential for European success Quinn stated "Why not, we're already re-establishing the Celtic name in Europe after a period of years in which we were there but never progressed very much.

"You have to be realistic about things. We don't have the resources that other clubs command at the top of the main leagues in Europe.

"But we've carried it forward through application, through splendid management by Gordon Strachan, and by a commitment by all of the players, so why shouldn't we go forward?"

Wise words Brian, good news on the spending promise and managerial future

Yours in Celtic
