Bill 13,717 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Bandits in Holyrood, cretins at the SFA, morons at the SPFL .... snouts in every trough and all set against a backcloth of bigotry and sectarianism. Is there anything they can't get wrong? Welcome to Scotland, home of every kind of shambolic under-achievement you can possibly think of. Except Andy Murray ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,350 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Clearly our deal is a joke. However, I'm not so sure more money would help. Look at the value countries such as Austria and Sweden -- even Switzerland -- extract from their deal: They have a decent brand of football, and their sides regularly get to the group stages of the Europa League. Rapid Vienna weren't great, but they got there [group stages], approached the game in a decent way and they're currently mid-table in their season. LASK are a much better team; Austria Vienna are a much better side. And that's not to mention RB Salzburg. We [Scottish football] are nowhere near that level. It's going to take a cultural change before we see real change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Better to divide the respective totals by population if you want a fair comparison. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of that, but that makes us look even worse! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 851 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The SFA should hire whoever negotiated the Danish Superliga's deal! That's incredible for a country of 5.7 million. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
