der Berliner 3,247 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I can't see the SPL relegating us - the clubs need our money and the money we generate. A one team league is not going to be attractive to TV or sponsors. In this current climate and day and age, I can envisage much more than just "relegation". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the mhanky hordes screaming for just that backed by the compliant media they can't see past the end of their noses. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dutchy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm not in favour of joining the English league, we are a Scottish club and should remain so. Neither am I in favour of this Atlantic league malarky. If we were to manage to win our games in the Euro qualifiers, we would then have the money we seek, but we can't, so we don't. On the Swansea, Cardiff question. I remember when the OF were first talking about leaving Scotland and the Welsh teams were cited as an example of it being doable. The criteria given then was that these 2 teams were the only teams in town in Wales, with nobody else with a chance of winning the title, hence, You can only move countries if there is a lack of competiion. That looked good for the OF, but the ELP is a diffirent beastie from them days and, due to the money you can earn, even if you get relegated forced the teams to vote against any Scottish upsurpers. It will never happen, due to self-interest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I am in favour of joining the English league but if it was going to happen, it would have happened by now. The OF's standing has fallen significantly over the last 10 years and is only going to get worse. Sky have renewed deals without it being on the table. I can't see any sort of Atlantic league either. We are stuck here for at least the next 10-15 years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The topic gets raised then dies down again. It's an annoying cycle which has been going on for at least a decade, maybe longer. It's all hot air, nothing will ever come of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would worry that we could only have two mediocre teams though challenging for nothing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
