slimjim1690 4,534 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 What would our prospects be if we declined to join if offered? we'd fall further behind than we are doing at present, no investment, playing for scraps, I hate what money has done to football but I suppose it's called progress and if we don't do something and get left further behind then I fear for the future unless we are happy enough just playing in the SPFL. graeme_4 and Hadron Collider 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST’s would cost a fortune Unless I’m making an arse of it, it’s like a CL alternative.

For a while, but with the money we'd get we'd soon be competing. The same would apply to the Euro Super League, a season or two of drubbings, and then starting to hold our own.

Moody Blue 9,476 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The LIV golf of football. I can see both sides for us where we need more income to buy a better standard of player, however, the CL experience has been an abomination.

The whole question of the thread changed 3 hours into it I was sure that the talk last year was of clubs leaving their domestic leagues etc. Apparently not though, it's just an alternative thing to the CL. Apparently the plan is still that you get £300m per club for just joining it though. Kinda swings it back to a 'yes' for me.

Bears r us 30,903 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I would need a lot more information before voting on this. We need to see where the court case goes first, which I never knew before reading that article was happening. That could put an end to it or put it back on the table again. UEFA are a bunch of pricks IMO but the people who would want to run this new league could be pricks as well, so best to wait a bit before giving it much thought I think.

dummiesoot 16,057 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Absolutely, this year's CL has shown we need to be at a bigger table. Getting pumped regularly due to shite income and manager does not appeal.

BlueboyG 5,284 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I would like for us to play in a European league but away from the SPFL, can't stand the corrupt cunts that run it, would love to see every other club go to the wall as a result, And no I don't hold grudges .
