You're absolutely correct the system does need changed for the good of Scottish football. Unfortunately, the majority of clubs are run by money-grabbing chairmen that are more than happy with 3-4 'big gates' per season. It requires a change of tact. This is where ,IMO, James Anderson and the likes could make a huge difference. If he and his associates could sponsor (I don't think we have one of them at the moment (sarcasm alert!))... the league to the tune of double what SKY offer, but stipulate certain criteria and demand a seat on the spfl board for their sponsorship monies and ongoing 'funding' for grass roots football.... or something similar. While the sfa/spfl wouldn't like it, I'm sure it's something like this that is required to get other chairmen on board for change. You know, money talks.

You're right. In any other country that likes to think it still has ambition, any club winning it's championship 9 years in a row would give cause for major concern over what is going wrong. It has happened 3 times in my lifetime, with the only one of any prestige, in my view, being the first one. But these days, the 2 Glasgow clubs duopoly is heralded as being fantastic for Scottish football by the media, and used as a main selling pitch to broadcasters by the overpaid SPFL puppet secretary. We are told that Celtic have TGFITW, with no mention of the fans of Hearts Hibs, Aberdeen, and the rest, who buy their season tickets in the full knowledge that their club won't win the championship. Any threat of any other club doing so will be crushed by the overwhelming power that the 2 Glasgow clubs have built, mainly through the poison of religious bigotry. Would Celtic fans back their team knowing they had no chance of winning the championship? Certainly not in the numbers they have now. They, and their cheerleading pals in the media are quick to jump on any celebration of winning, but they can't hack it when things go, even slightly, wrong. Neil Lennon is slinking off before Rangers come to Parkhead to win the championship, and destroy their holy grail of 10 in a row. He cannot man up like other opposition managers have had to do when he won trophies. What are the chances that Brown, far from the scenes of celebrating in opponent's faces, as he did in the last 2 cup finals, doesn't appear against Rangers. This failure for Celtic has much to do with him overstaying his usefulness in pursuit of personal glory, which his lack of ambition and real talent didn't deserve anyway. He took easy medals in place of a real challenge and gets the end to his Celtic career that he deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
