This is all geared up to get the two Glasgow teams in the premiership, I`m all against it as I feel they should keep their religous fighting north of the boarder, it`s bad enough them playing English teams in the European games, look at what happened in Manchester not so long ago, Celtic fans could keep quiet during the minutes silence on Sunday, theres enough trouble in the English game without introducing more lunacy, it would be inviting violence!

 Rangers are going bust and this is their only chance of survival in the current format they operate under. Between them Rangers and Celtic have ruined Scottish football to the extent that the rest of the Scottish clubs bear no relation to them with the result that their area (I refuse to call it a country) no longer produces the stream of talent that used to find it's way into the English game. Now they have killed off all the other clubs up there they want to bugger off and feed off our pockets ~ nice people huh? I can't see what benefit they would bring to OUR leagues and if they are to be invited in they might as well invite Ajax, Feyenoord, SV Hamburg and any other North European club that put's monetry gain before social responsibility for the game in it's own backyard...................and you can bet your life there would be nothing in it for the likes of OUR club!

Hadn`t looked at it like that before, great points raised, I was just looking at the troublesome side of things, when you put that with it then it`s an easy call, NO WAY should they be allowed to join!

Agreed it is a horrible idea, of no benefit to English lower league teams and would just open the door for a franchised competition USA style at the top level instead of promotion on merit, but what if it happened. A Premiership of two eighteen team leagues would need another 16 clubs. Celtic,Rangers,Cork city & 13 football league teams I assume. The football league would then consist of 59 teams. What would happen to them and indeed us? |

So the chickens come home to roost for the club that initiated the general decline in Scottish football by financially "bullying" their way even further ahead of the opposition two decades ago by ridiculously importing all sorts of foreign dross just so that they could win the league by February instead of at the end of the season as they usually did. Just so that they could "guarantee" European Football to the detriment and disrespect for their domestic game without a care or responsibility for the rest of the clubs in it. Now this self proclaimed "nation" (in reality merely a region where they enjoy unparalleled freebies at the expense of those who pay for it in other parts of the UK is aghast to learn the home truth that nobody down South gives a flying feck about their problems and certainly DON'T want them devaluing OUR national league! Carry on with your games with Kilmarnock, Queen of the South and Airdrie Rangers. Who gives a toss down here about your predicament?
