Well i was having a heated debate about Barry Ferguson and his link with Newcastle, I was told that it would be a bad move and Rangers were bigger than Newcastle. I had to argue that a move to the premiership with a half decent side like Newcastle is always better than staying in Scotland.

Then i get the good old 'if we were in the premiership we would be title chasers within 5 years'

So i thought about putting the oldfirm in the game and thought why not just make a british superleague

100% honesty most spl sides will be in league 1 but i do not have a clue about N. Irish and welsh league's.

I will be uploading to base for anyone who fancies this but feedback and comments will be helpfull on where to put teams.


Cheers
 
pfft cheers for the feedback. Well finished it tonight. Will have Sean upload it soon
 
Most welsh league clubs wudnt even make blue square north or south.....mayb Rhyl, TNS, llanelli and Bangor deserve to be at tht level tho
 
Sounds good Kris. I'll add it to the site over the weekend for you.

wow kris, what an original idea
 
Rangers and Celtic in the Premier League will NEVER happen period!
The Premiership clubs are scared of the Old Firm because of the sheer size of support and how much revenue this would generate,the players that would then attract to the respective clubs and it would move the lesser teams even further down the pecking order. In my opinion the Premiership in its current state is getting slightly boring with the Big 4 dominating and all the foriegn ownership and commercialism and all that is Brand Premiership. I think having the Old Firm in the Premiership would certainly spice things up a little and how much interest from all over the world would this create is anyones guess, lets not forget Rangers and Celtic are 2 of the most supported teams on the PLANET, FACT!! Personally I'd love to see it happen, but it wont. Well, not in my lifetime!!

I Know mate your right, a few years ago i think everyone thought it was going to happen but it wont. I don't want it too either, our league is **** enough with them so without them it would be dreadful although very open.

I actually think it would be of great benefit to Scottish Football if Rangers and Celtic were to move, it would give the smaller scottish teams more of a chance and I honestly think the League would be far more open and probably a better spectacle as a whole. The likes of Hearts,Hibs,Aberdeen,Dundee Utd would have more opportunity on a European scale also, these clubs like to bring through young Scottish Talent (Well apart from Hearts) which would be great for the national team. (when we sack Burley that is).

Lmao we used to bring in young talent but those times have changed :( I think Berra was our last decent youth product but at least the Lithuanians are leaving.Do you think Setanta or sky etc would pay for the spl rights without rangers and celtic? and clubs would not get the big pay days when they old firm visit.

Yeah I'd like to think that the big sponsors would still show Scottish football on TV, lets not forget there are other supporters out there apart from the Old Firm. This would probably bring ticket prices down making it more affordable without the old firm and encourage youngsters to support their local (Scottish) teams instead of opting for supporting someone like Man U!!

This will just turn into a non-FM debate :P

Yeah Kris the best Welsh teams are in the English set up already, and even Wrexham have become non-League :(.

I think for Rangers and Celtic to move to the EPL would benefit the SPL in the long run (a non-SPL educated person here) because surely if they left anyone could win it, and ultimately if people like Setanta stayed there then money in the league would continue, and the teams would eventually improve with places in Europe etc, although it would take a few years. The point about teams bringing thru Scottish players benefitting the nat.team is true as well, and in turn if Scotland had a run like they did last time then this would benefit the league back.

I think Rangers and Celtic would just about challenge for Europe atm, and as the three biggest Welsh clubs (by a mile) were put into the English set up it would make sense to have the Old Firm there.
 
Tell me this.... Why do the Scottish FA allow an English team to play in our league??

What's the difference??

Super league idea

I saw the super league post below and i thought it was soooo bad. This would be the end of football. it would destroy the derby matches and the banter between fans. i will become a CRICKET fan if this ever happens. its awfull. just awfull.
 
Well next time post in the same thread as it.

/facepalm

I take it you mean Berwick? The SFA arent in charge of the league the SFL are and its for travel reasons.

--

Someone somwhere came up with the system that the winner of the SPL gets a play off spot so theres one less in the Championship, they then go on to play the playoffs and go to the EPL if they win. That means if the OF are good enough for the EPL they get there and the teams left behind arent ttly cut off and have a route back. Some sort of relegation playoff (like the Italian) would be needed though if a Scottish team got relegated from the EPL as they would go back to the SPL.
