British Super League?

Post by Michael »

Celtic & Rangers to join a new revises British Super League?

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football ... er-league/
CELTIC and Rangers are wanted to join a BRITISH League as part of the fall-out from the failed Euro breakaway plot.

While the Big Six led the humiliating retreat from the Super League debacle, they remain convinced that reform of the Prem is essential.


Celtic are also wanted to join the revamp as part of the fall-out of the failed Euro breakaway


The potential British Premier League is expected to get the green light from Fifa and Uefa
Top of the list of plans being actively discussed is an offer to the two Glasgow giants to come south of Hadrian’s Wall.

And unlike the Super League shambles which was condemned globally, it's likely an enlarged Premier League including the Old Firm would be BACKED by Fifa, Uefa and the UK Government.

Celtic and Rangers would jump at the chance to take a slice of the Prem cake, while their inclusion would also see a spike in interest from fans across the world, sponsors and broadcasters.

Even the pair’s SPL rivals are thought likely to be willing to wave goodbye to the two dominant forces north of the border, because it would give them a realistic chance of winning the title and the chance to qualify for the revamped Champions League.

One club source said: “Whether or not the Super League was going to happen, we all feel that the Premier League has to be changed and improved.

“It is time we opened it up to Rangers and Celtic. That would make sense for everyone.”

Reform of the Prem has been a huge discussion point since October’s publication of the Project Big Picture plans drafted by Liverpool and Manchester United.

Prem chief executive Richard Masters was forced to agree to a “strategic review” of the competition’s future, conceding “the status quo is not an option”, which was conducted by US-owned Boston Consulting and is due to report back in June.

In addition to the Rangers and Celtic plan, one other idea is an end of season top four play-off, similar to that in rugby union and rugby league.

But they are also still pushing, firmly, for a reduction to the 18 team league that was envisaged at the outset of the Prem when it was formed three decades ago.

Another club chief added: “We have never wavered from the belief that 18 clubs is the only sensible way forward.

“It is also what Uefa, Fifa and the European Club Association have long called for.”

That may be a proposal too far for the 14 members of the 'left behind club' who ganged up to help win the Super League battle with the Big Six.


But unlike the doomed Super League, there would be global backing for a British League.

Fifa President Gianni Infantino gave his blessing for cross-border leagues when asked about proposals for mergers between Holland and Belgium and Mexico and the MLS.

Infantino said: “If we want teams to play at the highest level around the world we need to have new ideas and we need to see that.

“I am confident the best decisions will be made in that regard but any mergers must be done with respect to the rules.”

And while PM Boris Johnson launched into the Super League debate by insisting he would throw every possible obstacle in the way of the changes, the prospect of including Rangers and Celtic in a cross-border UK league would be a potential factor in the fight against the proposed second Scottish independence referendum.

Ibrox and Parkhead supporters, excited at the prospect of locking horns with England’s big guns, might be tempted to strengthen resistance against the SNP-led breakaway plans.

Why should they just walk into the EPL? They should have to start from the bottom and work their way up the ladder they can start in Div 2 of the Northern League and if they will have get promoted 9 times to reach the EPL, that sounds fair :D :D :D

Well, if they join at all, they should start in Div. 2. They will struggle, of course, but it will a good learning curve. :lol:

Okay, I will take the bait! ;-)

They would struggle in top flight initially if you are basing it on the money and resources but they would steadily climb and could potentially compete at the top end of the table once established. They would both do fine in the Championship, no doubt about it.
All this talk that they couldn't compete is nonsense.
Personally I think it is all media hype and it is not likely to happen in the near future if at all. I would like to see them stay in Scotland and see the others like Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen etc. improve and become more competitive. Not that simple as
once more the real reason they can't consistently compete with Rangers and Celtic is the lack of money and resources.
That said if my lot don't get their finger out soon (due to poor internal decisions/mismanagement and dare I say it arrogance) they will continue to be second best in Glasgow, especially if Gerrard is prepared to stick around. I hope he does stay as I honestly want Celtic to improve and not for Rangers to go backwards for the sake of the Scottish game in general.
Unless Celtic secure the services of Howe (looking more unlikely with each passing day) or someone of a similar standard it shows that Celtic are NOT as ambitious as their main rivals.

there are 27 tiers of football in england. if some mega rich person bought a bottom tier club and won promotion every year it would take them 27 years to reach the epl. this is where the passion comes from but here in oz we cannot get a second div for A LEAGUE.BUGGA. :roll:

You can apply to be in a higher division than Step 27. I know of clubs that have started as high as Step 9.

i would like to see a comp consisting of the top 4 teams from spl and epl at seasons end, would be good for spl teams to strive for, a money spinner for them which does not wreck either league, unfortunately british football is now dominated by rich yanks who just see our game as a cash cow to make them even richer, they are not interested in the game its self because they did not invent it,which means they feel they have to change things so in time other generations would think that they did, postscript, just try telling them their electoral system is no good and should be revised, :roll:

It's not dominated by yanks and what have they specifically changed in the way the game is played?

So you don't mind an EPL club being owned by a country that stones women for being raped, that throw gays from building and have been bombing the Yemen for 8 or so years.

You have evidence that millions of Man U fans agree with you or that the Glazer's are just there to make money.
BTW I'm a Chelsea fan. Our owner supports his club but unfortunately, was born in the wrong country.

they are just legal crooks con men just like pollies, the glazers have taken about 20 million out of man u ,to them its just business baby which is why the rich yaNKS are there, at least arabs like the game and will put money in instead of useing our clubs as a cash cow like the yanks do, if the milkmaids/glazers sell utd it will be to the arabs, the club is valued at 4.3 billion the robber glazers want 6.o billion, carnt see sir jim affording that even if he is a mancunian. its just a bloody shame but anybody would be better owners than the looting and pilaging glazers :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:
