Then cut the SPL to 22 games a year then use the extra weeks to have this new european league. Scottish sides would all be able to qualify for the league. <br />The present system is killing the game it is tedious and miserable. <br />Creating a european league would enable ambitious scottish sides outside of the old firm to match them.western european super-leaguehttp://isleofmanhouses.blogspot.com/2010/02/western-european-super-league_17.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19208183.post-84220260729528666812009-10-12T10:17:11.591+01:002009-10-12T10:17:11.591+01:00Agree with you that the Old Firm need to stay with...Agree with you that the Old Firm need to stay within SPL. Sometimes pains me to hear them run down Scottosh football, as though they are somehow seperate from it! <br /><br />But they are trapped within the big-fish-small-pond problem caused by the influx of satellite and Champions League money. (Same with Ajax, Porto, etc etc).

Greed and avarice: UEFA stands self-condemned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
