Tazio Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I can understand us being accepted as Scotlands 3rd largest club but Newcastle in England?? It all looks like it is based on attendances and earning potential. Also interesting the statement about them rejecting the idea of caps on foreign players.

shaun.lawson Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I can understand us being accepted as Scotlands 3rd largest club but Newcastle in England?? It all looks like it is based on attendances and earning potential. Also interesting the statement about them rejecting the idea of caps on foreign players. It's based on the UEFA rankings list, Taz. Meaning we'll drop out in a couple of years and be replaced by Aberdeen if we don't get our act together; and Newcastle are in because they're still England's fifth ranked club (and indeed, were the number 1 seed in the 06/7 UEFA Cup, despite only making it through the Intertoto). Not that it makes much difference, really. I imagine it'll still be the usual wealthy suspects who have all the power here: the likes of Hearts will probably just sit there meekly and be grateful to even be acknowledged. I suspect Vlad'll be happy though: how many other owners have two clubs in the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrahim Tall Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 It's based on the UEFA co-efficients, as of the time the plans were drawn up we were the 3rd highest Scottish team and Newcastle the 5th highest English team. Unfortunetly i'm pretty sure Aberdeens now set to replace us next time the teams change.(2 years i think?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboSean Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 "So Mr. Romanov, what do you think of the proposal?" "I think some of the clubs are more valuable than all the oil in Russia. I feel some of the people here are monekys and all are you are on the long road to hell. I hate striped shirts." "Indeed. Who invited him?"

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I would guess the fact that Campbell Ogilvie is well connected in these parts as well helped matters. CO helped to devise the original concept of the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Dover Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 What about the 'compensation' payments for players on International duty such as Euro 2008 ? The report says 'Inverness Caledonian Thistle, having supplied Marius Niculae for Romania, are due ?80,000' Maybe Vlad might have a beady eye on that concept as a nice wee earner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye,I'll bet he cant wait to talk about this,he cant be arsed talking to the fans but you watch he'll schmooze up to all the bigwigs there though. One good thing is if he does go himself,the rest of European football will find out what a clown he is as well. And one thing more,sure it's relevant who got us there as this whole fiasco seems to be about scoring points from Vlad's camp at every available turn.

Samster Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Managers like Arsenal's Ars?ne Wenger have regularly complained about players from South America or Africa being forced to make long journeys for friendlies and returning too late to prepare properly for the next domestic match. The simple solution Arsene is don't sign players from South America or Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another plus in the Romanov era. As well informed as usual I see. The reason we are in there, is what we acheived with Pieman and Levein/Robbo when we made the UEFA group stage.

I suspect Vlad'll be happy though: how many other owners have two clubs in the list? Aside from the prestige of being on a list that other teams aren't it wont make much difference whether it's Newcastle or Everton or Spurs as their interests in terms of the organisation of European Football are broadly similar. They're big clubs who should be in the UEFA cup fairly regularly but for whom Champions League qualification represents a rare treat and for that matter it wont be big deal in the grand scheme of things if the sheep are in there for a spell because their agenda is going to be pretty similar to ours. It matters more that someone from outside the Old Firm is there than which club it happens to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
