A Fair Distribution of Wealth

[Hamie 4,929]

A statement that crops up in almost every plan the SFA, SPL introduce.

This is simply a bribe to obtain votes. It certainly has nothing to do with the ‘good of the game’

What is a fair distribution of wealth?

This entails money generated through the Rangers/Celtic brand is given away to the keep others in business.

But why is football different to general business?

Other companies are bound to Free Market Capitalism. You don’t hear Tesco & Asda having a cracking Christmas period with soaring profits then subsequently being forced to pass down a proportion to Sainsburys.

The problem with Scottish football is simple, we have too many clubs. It doesn’t matter how many times you restructure the leagues, your still going to have too many clubs, with most unsustainable and dependant on handouts.

Much like the benefits system Child Tax Credits. Does CTC inspire sensible people to have to children? Of course not. However it does inspire the dregs of society to have more children so they get more money. And what happens to the kids when they grow up? They are 80% more likely to follow suit.

And here lies the problem, just as the government finds with child tax credits. All the people that scrounge on these benefits also hold a vote to keep the government in power and will instantly vote for someone else if they propose to remove them.

If all clubs in Scotland had control of their own media coverage the problem would be solved almost instantly. We would have a far more competitive ‘full time’ professional league.with many of the smaller clubs going amateur. It baffles me that a club with an average attendance of 250 have not done so already.

We are a country of less than 6 million people, yet we have 42 clubs.

London has 8 million people, spread over a smaller area, and only 13 clubs.

And If you look at the 13, it would make a fantastic competative league.

Furthermore can you imagine if the £2,000,000.00 currently passed down the SFL just to be wasted keeping most afloat, had been invested over the last 10 years in a similar set up to the English FA training centre...

...The face of our national team would be very different today.

So I sincerely hope Charles Green finds a way to keep our media rights and a new Rangers TV Digital Revolution is born with 37,000+ paying £120 per year for a subscription and live streams. With our own TV sponsorship deals.

Good post Hamie but did you need to insult ppl ie (dregs)?

Your Tax Credit comment will probably be about 99% of people in here with kids. I would maybe rescind that one.

Please don't get me wrong.

I'm not trying to cause offence, I'm not talking about people on incapacity benefits, working tax credits, or even JSA.

I'm talking about baby machines, folk that think it's ok to have kids and have the rest of us support them financially.

Whilst they sit around doing nothing.

If you can't afford to have kids, don't have them.

If anyone has brought a child into this world purely for profit and a 'hoose'

Then they are indeed the dregs of society.

You are in danger of taking this thread waaaaay off topic. There's plenty of discussion on that subject on OT.

It's not appropriate for here, and I think you should just edit it out, and your reply.

Just my opinion though, feel free to ignore it.
