HailHailHayley Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 The truth is we already give back to Scottish football through carrying the coefficient on our backs & giving opportunities to more clubs that they wouldn't have without us. It's then down to the other clubs what they do with those opportunities & whether they can maximise it or not. To say though that we need to share the income that we generate with you though is absolutely mental. We're in direct competition with you ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one will hope that Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs can becomes regular europa league/conference league group stage participants that just helps our league as a whole with better players, better sponsorships and better tv deals which then benefits us all. I'm not asking or wishing for you to become atletico madrid but at the very least you could be bloody Braga or AZ Alkmaar and reach european football consistently. Why is that a negative thing, it only helps you. Aberdeen have been reaching European football consistently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) So are all these new posters, who joined at the same time, saying the same things on the same topics, the same one or two people, or are they genuinely all different people?

By your logic then if Hearts applied themselves even more they could have won the league? Come on DA, you know that's how it works... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point was suggesting to group stage participation more than just qualification. With the conference league now up and running hopefully this does happen more and we see Aberdeen, Hearts and others have European football until Xmas more regularly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukraine. Where the league has LITERALLY been bought and paid for through corruption over the past thirty years. Documented corruption.

Monkey Tennis Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Jinky67 said: Now let's not for a minute think we are going to get even remotely close to winning this so should i then be asking Real Madrid/Man City/Liverpool/Bayern for a share of their spoils to bridge the gap because in this competition it's us that's the diddy? Actually, yes. The huge wealth such competitions generate should be distributed quite differently across countries and the clubs within them. That way, the Champions of Scotland could occasionally have a chance. It used to happen, don't you know. Don't you know there once was a Scottish club that reached the final twice in three years, winning the first one - you've maybe heard of them. You can live with the distortion you're about to encounter because the reward means you'll seldom drop points at weekends. The injustice suits you ok on the whole. The trouble is that it totally knackers the whole thing for fans of diddy sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illgresi Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) The only way to break the duopoly is to remove it. If all 40 other clubs resigned from the league and started afresh, the minks would starve. The main problem with that, is: Too many (if not all) top league clubs are run like businesses, and view the OF and Rangers* as an asset. Most lower league chairmen tend to have a big club (RIP Turnbull Hutton). Until the desire comes from the top, and is unified, nothing will change.

DA Baracus Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 What an incredible statistical anomaly that the most successful clubs are not only the ones who want it most, and who work the hardesr, but who are the richest. Mind when Manchester City were a middling EPL club at best? One day they just decided to want it more and work harder and they have now won multiple EPL titles and English cups. Total coincidence that they got loads of cash pumped in to them at the same time mind. Similar story with Chelsea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do McDonalds share their profits with Burger King because they're bigger? Do Sky share their profits with Channel 5 because they're bigger? Do Adidas share their profits with Slazenger because they're bigger? Or is part of the reward of being bigger that you earn more money than your smaller rivals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
