If we can achieve half of what they have, that's when to go bumping yer gums. 2 league titles and a run in Europe. Despite paying nowhere near what molde, and rosenborg do in wages.

Crawley are much better than Linfield. I did pre season with Linfield a couple years ago whilst they were preparing for a champions league qualifying stage(in which they did pretty well) and they are not much better than Scottish league 1. They have only been full time professionals for a year… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 One thing is for sure, there's no easy ties in Europe any more, over the qualifying rounds this season so far there's been some pretty big shock results, and the smaller teams are giving themselves a good showing.

Ricardo Quaresma Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 On 18/07/2022 at 15:50, Jamboross said: Can't be bothered working it all out exactly but based on last years figures each would get €15.64m for reaching the group stage and another few million euros based on their coefficient over the last 10 years compared to the other group stage participants (Celtic would get more than Rangers for this as they have a higher coefficient). If they both reached the group stage they'd split the TV money between them. There's not really any way of knowing how much that is but it'll be another few million euros. If Rangers don't make the groups Celtic take the whole lot. So you're looking at anything from €20-25m before they've even kicked a ball. If Rangers don't make the CL Groups they'll get similar to us in the EL - probably around €5m. They'll get a bit more as they have a higher coefficient than us and if they drop down from the CL Playoff round they get a €5m parachute payment on top. Them dropping down would also reduce the money we make from TV deal if we get into the EL groups as we'd have to split it with them. Appreciated. Thanks.

Whoever that may be, they can be the best team in the draw, I'm not too fussed. I guess that's the beauty of being guaranteed group stage football.

Would have gone if it was a charter like it was for Moldova last year which was around £400 but Wonky Sheep couldn't get anything for under £700 so it didn't go ahead.
