- Re-distribution of income via sponsorship/tv deals
- Split gate receipts
- bigger league (16 is my preference, and you can even keep the nonsense split)
- minimum of 5 players in matchday squad to be home grown on trained by that team for x number of years
All these would, over a period of time result in better younger players being produced by the country whilst hopefully bridging the gap.
IMO this Celtic team isnt even the best in the last 5 years never mind ever (and the 2003 team would wipe the floor with them). The manager of course has a significant contribution and deserves massive praise for getting the best out of his players and keeping them motivated BUT basing it on when they played for Celtic:
Forster > Gordon
Van Dijk/Denayer/Ambrose > take your pick, any current CH
Matthews/Lustig > current Lustig
Ledley > Rogic
Commons > Armstrong
Hooper > Griffiths
Granted there'll be exceptions, for example Scott Brown is arguably playing the best football of his life, Tierney, Dembele, Sinclair (he done well in England eh) but you've got to ask how many of these players can perform at the top level? John Guidetti was a "star" up here but flopped down south.
