22A Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I can also see these teams breaking away from fifa one day and starting there own big money league running out side of what we know at present. A multi europe type league for the big 20 clubs No matter how great the teams in such a League would be, someone's got to finish bottom. Would the same 20 continue playing each other in perpetuity or would the bottom team have to revert to their national league? If 120 years ago the origiinal 12 league teams decided no expansion, PNE v Accrington might still be the top game on Sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Shouldn't they be in the Irish Premier ? Quite so, as their supporters are always on about what "proud Irishmen" they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Cloud Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I still cannot see why we should even contemplate helping them? they openly hate us and would never help us in a million years if the situation was reversed - sod 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Berwick is in England and they play in the Scottish league. ... and the New Saints is an English-based club playing in the Welsh Prem. Whatever that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 It won't happen any time soon. Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but you have to give 3 years notice to leave a league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 It won't happen any time soon. Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but you have to give 3 years notice to leave a league To start the English Prem, the clubs in the then Football League Div 1 only gave 12 months notice as that was the requirement then. Has it increased? "The day before the 1991/92 season kicked off, all 22 clubs in the first division registered their resignations with the Football League so as to form a F.A. controlled Premier League the following season".

Robin101 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Merge the whole of the Scottish league and welsh leagues into the English leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpaul Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I can't see how the English FA would even consider it... A team whose supporters wave a "Foreign" flag to that of their own? A team whose supporters allegedly sing pro "IRA" songs. A team whose supporters refuse to stand silent for rememberance day. For a team, whose support appears to be so anti UK, why would the English heirachy even think about considering to think about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Um....money. I know it is crazy to think football might be ruled by money. What next matches kicking off at various times over a weekend to suit tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 But an independant Scotland can do so much better on its own, apparently? If Celtic do join our league at least it should wipe the smile off that smug chubby face of Alex Salmond. On second thoughts no thanks, you can keep Celtic, 10% of the north seas resources and about 10% of the national debt. Mind how you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
