plymouthranger 3,836 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Not sure if I’d want it if it meant we never got to play in Europe. Our history in Europe is what defines us as a bigger club than most EPL sides, take that away or never get to build on it and our light fades somewhat Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just secured our 55th title in this 'backwater', and it's been fucking glorious, one of the best league wins in my lifetime. Potentially, this might never happen again given the teams we would be up against. Resources, money and time to embed in any new league would take decades IMO. I'd far rather win 56 than be scrambling around for a shot at playing Burnley and Brighton. TamCoopz, AGM_72, G.E.C. and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CoplandRoad83 3,113 Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 At the risk of sounding like Jackie McNamara it's no even that exciting a league. In the early Sky days it was class, but now its just dull. I'd rather the away days to the sheep, Tynecastle, Easter Road etc where the teams have a history of hating us and we hate them, and fighting for titles and landing European nights and Old Firm matches. Much rather that than host teams like Sheff Utd or Burnley on a Sunday whilst shelling out 20 Million on the likes of Solanke and McBurnie. Our model should be sustainable long-term development, respecting history and tradition of fans, regular European football and winning trophies. Let them eat each other and destroy themselves down there when/if the bubble eventually bursts.

theweebluenose 4,332 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Seeing what the Premiership has become in recent years I wouldn't be interested at all. I'd rather our Club kept its identity than turn into a sanitised version of it, people say it would never happen but look how drastically supports have changed down south recently - look at how fierce derbys have turned into just another game. It will never happen anyway but it has zero attraction for me these days as mad as that sounds. CoplandRoad83 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 If the source was more credible then I would take this clickbait more seriously. I am just getting accustomed to the idea of us playing CL football once again on a regular basis. I would be against anything that puts that in jeopardy. A British league only works for me if it's open to all 4 nations with a clearly defined pyramid structure allowing for relegation and promotion. scottyscott1963 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In another 20 years with the way finance is evolving we won’t even be a big club anymore. Finance dictates everything in terms of stature nowadays and we’ll never compete as a big European club continuing in Scotland in future. No reason why we couldn’t compete in time down there but you’re right it certainly wouldn’t be overnight. Hadron Collider 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
