Balernojambo Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Its probably been mentioned but the 11-1 vote share needed to get certain issues through is really awful. I know there is a monetary benefit for clubs having Rangers and Celtic in the league for gates etc but what other benefit do the old firm bring to the game. I wish the other clubs would put forward a motion to ammend and if it was scuppered by the old firm leave en masse and let them play each other every week or join the English leagues.

Hagar the Horrible Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 You have to be careful of the monster you create, if we were put into the league proper, and somehow advanced upwards, we would end up being so reliant on TV money the same as all Championship clubs. and another extinction level event would kill us too. However just say things go to plan and we rise upwards and get to the 2nd tier, we would have pretty much a bigger support than most others in that league. so much so that we might have to play at Murrayfield, If the miricle was to happen and we made it to the EPL there are at least 5 clubs who dont get gates >25k I think we could get 35k and the novelty factor there would be a bigger than nornal travelling support too? I think we have a lot to offer, but we wont have that many at away games, until we play at the giants and on a saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A salary cap is one good idea, however a cap on the size of the first team squads would be another option to try and equalise things. Doing that would mean that neither side of the Old Firm could just add to their squad for the sake of it or to weaken other sides that might be giving them a wee fright.

skwif1 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 No need for ponderance. Many years ago (25-30) every club in the league handed the SFA their intent to breakaway and form a league of their own. Every club except rankers and smelly fans. If my memory serves me right it was over either the voting system or money distribution where the butt cheeks could vote for whatever and it made no difference how the other clubs voted they got what they wanted by outvoting all others. There was a huge standoff and a lot of bartering had to be done, and I am sure it led to the voting/money complaint being watered down and league reconstruction. It was envisaged that the league would go ahead without them, but they were allowed back in eventually. I have said for years that the game here would flourish without them as it is unlikely that the same team would win everything all the time. When the three trophies are won by different teams each season the fans would have something to shout about and look forward to attending football again. I have considered that 3rd place is the real winner or the highest club outwith the OF. Therefore, after a season or two the gates would grow and due to the distribution of honours probably sooner. I doubt if sky would be interested in 38 games between the cretins every season. 19 at darkheid and 19 at castle greyskull. It would at a stroke, diminish the bile and bigotry by 98-99%. The league needs reconstruction, the split needs done away with and I dont think many (outside weegiestan) would mourn the loss of the erse cheeks. Ok there would be no european footy for a while, but its a price worth paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Yes it is time to consider getting out. The whole league is boring beyond belief. Scottish football should pack it in and a British league should be created. Hearts would do very well and we’d have an interesting fixtures every week once we’d got ourselves through the leagues. There’s only so many times you can watch us play Hamilton, St Mirren, Motherwell etc. Uttter guff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, how can you say the last few weeks have been boring 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
