caledonia

Here is the quote Einstein As far as i can read it says money is the problem not other leagues on TV In case you cant find the topic it was posted in look about 10 posts down or about a foot down if you cant count

According to some on here no affect at all but I disagree That is what I was saying in another thread about TV ruining Scottish football Dont get me wrong i love watching the champions league but you cant have it both ways Real fans will go to the dons games and sky+ the champions league but some not so loyal will save their cash

Has he been boat yet oar is it a loan

nope i prefer your type of posting same as myself to the bandwagon type some on here adopt

To be honest you are both fucking wind up merchants only problem now is you are both on the same forum

Bell was mainly used as sub or for certain games as he could not contribute 90 minutes But for the 10th time how thick are you we were not comparing these players for who is best but comparing then as that type of player who can turn a game with a touch of genius but at the same time might not turn it on the rest of the game. I mentioned some very skilful players at the club as an example anyway that was not the question it was CAN WE AFFORD TO CARRY HARTLEY WHEN HE IS NOT CONTRIBUTING IN A FOOTBALLING SENSE my answer for now is yes but some of you don't like the question so are trying to derail the topic as usual

I have "Fit like caledonia" top right corner is that what we are on about CUNTOS

Nope yours still works but will try it again in another hour just to make sure

Why not they are all the same type of skilful player who can turn a game with a flash of genius. Remember we are comparing type of player here not who is best

Jess was inconsistent as well but like Zero, Strachan and Bell (going back a bit here but you know the type of player I mean) were the type of players you like to pay your money to watch. You don't expect them to be good every game or even a whole 90 minutes but you cant bin them What Millertime is saying is can we afford to carry Hartley who maybe does not have that one moment he can turn a game like the above mentioned rest.

True but its annoying when it gets out we are about to sign so and so and it falls apart. better if possible to keep it under wraps for as long as possible does not alert other clubs as well

Probably going to get shot down here but I think since we lost Lee Miller we have not been the same team. He was the same as above mentioned players as much as fans criticised him for not scoring enough goals as a striker but as a target man there was no better.

I am sure it wont

If you are losing money you cant keep reducing the size of the league to play each other more. what will it be in 5 years a 4 team league that plays each other 12 times what we need to do is start living within our means

Fans have been complaining about teams playing each other to much with the current set up The sceptical amongst us might think this is to guarantee a certain amount of old firm games for sky tv and indeed the bigot brothers income. Anyway I voted for 16

But going to a 10 team league will lose money as the fans don't like it. What cant you understand about that.

fair enough but changing it to a 10 team league will not take in any more money in my opinion. read the papers and other club sites general opinion is it wont work and they don't want it. I thought business was all about giving your customers what they want not forcing something they don't want on them. After reading the absurd idea of 4 teams in a play off for the league after playing all season i dont trust any of the clubs coming up with any sort of sound idea

You missed out the word HUN between sucking and necrophiliacs!

As said before people said that when Setanta went bust and is our league still here. Other leagues all over the World survive in a lot less money than ours. Why do you think ours will not survive

I can see this, but they might have no choice because if the old firm go in the short term money will drop. Or are you saying the league will simply go bust

The league wont die if we lose revenue, clubs will just have to live within their means ie by bringing down wages etc People said this when Setanta pulled the plug and its not happened yet.

This is a good read although a few months old http://soccerlens.com/the-top-15-leagues-in-europe/39185/ Did not know Germany had so much fans -10 teams average over 40,000 fans

Fair enough but you could say that about a 10 team league as well

Why do you think prices down will mean less money it might mean more fans and more money. Football managed without big money in the past teams will just have to budget better A more competitive league = more fans = more money = prices might come down = more fans = more money = better players = not quite so much shite on the park
