RONNY Deila spoke last night of his desire to build a decade-long dynasty of success at Celtic, but insisted he won't mortgage the club's future just to make himself look good.

Victory in today's Scottish Cup semi-final against Inverness Caledonian Thistle would move the 39-year-old within touching distance of a treble in his first season at Parkhead, an honour which would put him in the exalted company of Jock Stein and Martin O'Neill.

It takes longevity to acquire legend status, however, and Deila's designs are not so much on short-term silverware as long-term development.

Having spent nine years at his previous club Stromsgodset, he finds the modern culture of managers chopping and changing every 12 to 18 months rather distasteful.

"You get very cynical when it's like this because the manager is just thinking of himself, going to the board and saying I need x amount of money to create something," said Deila.

"Then he does that by buying the players he wants, he doesn't think about the club, how he is going to get it to grow.

"Maybe he gets successful, then he goes away and the club has a financial problem afterwards, or he isn't successful and gets sacked and the club has two problems: finances and the fact they don't have a manager.

"If you look to the Champions League, the teams that succeed have kept their side for five years on average and also the managers have been there for a while and have good experience.

"I will never use my results to get more money.

"I will do the best for Celtic Football Club. What we have as a budget, I will try to do my best with and create something out of what we have.

"As long as I am developing myself, as long as I go to work enjoying it and seeing I can make the club better, I don't see any reason I shouldn't [be here for a decade].

"To see people grow and see cultures building, that's something that gives me so

much pleasure."
