Celtic and Rangers should create a european super league with big countries from smaller european nations. Cut the number of games in the a spl by half then play a european and scottish season.

The problem works both ways, the big English clubs don’t want tae share money and neither do the old firm (i’d rather see a better SPL than the auld firm play doon south), though, money isn’t the answer to the problem as some of the bigger EPL teams found this year when the hit the CCC and are struggling there as well.

Put them in the Conference and let them work their way up legitimately. After all, we’ve got a few Welsh teams in the leagues.

Just parachuting them into the EPL was never going to be allowed. Who the fuck thought it would? Apart from Stan ‘common sense’ Collymore.

Thank F*ck!! Joining the EPL is NOT the answer to the Old Firms financial woes. Yes there is a lot of interest and therefore a lot of TV cash in the EPL at the moment but this wont last forever. The Old Firm are not the only big teams in Europe who have this problem. Teams like Benfica, Ajax, Lyon, Porto, Brugge etc will force a major shakeup of the existing European tournaments. I don’t believe an “Atlantic League” has any chance of getting off the ground but changes to the Champions League and Europa League are a feasible alternative. The winds of change are blowing through Europe. Watch this space…

Gartsides proposal was not just about the Old Firm coming south it was about sharing out the TV dough so that the whole league became more competetive. As we all know the big boys don’t want to give up a penny even to teams in England so they are not likely to want Glasgow’s two behemoths to have any either. It will always come down to money.

English clubs afraid of the old firm , simple as that. If they were not they would have said yes.

The introduction od the old firm into the English Premier group was never going to happen, it was a dead loss from the start. Only other option now is the so called Atlantic league.I think there is a 50/50 that will happen..Call me a opptomistic fool, but I can see the day when the premier league will welcom the old firm to join, if this new stucture ever takes place…And it will.!

The old firm has to move, that’s a fact..They need to play more competative teams on a regular basis, if they ever have to improve.(Which they do) Fact is that the so called lower teams in the SPL have been making money on both these teams for years..Playing these teams every week, with crowds of five to six thousand was a joke, and the possibility of an old firm player getting seriously injured was very real indeed.

Not withstanding the premier league decision..The old firm has to move.
