Within 5/7 years we would be a force down in the Premiership .......the only reason the top men dont want us down there is "fear" that a Scottish side would be winning the Prem'.....

Rangers and celtic are two of the biggest clubs anywhere in the world with the support,stadia and history that would match or even surpass most including what you have down there in england and thats a fact! Give these two footballing gaints the kind of money the english clubs are getting through tele deals and within not that many years to stabilise themselves in the EPL they would be wiping the floor with most and at least competing with the big 5 down there for tropys...this may not be a fact per say but its mine and a hell of a lot of people's opinion who know a bit about the game.

Do you really believe that ? hand on heart ?.....what you have said to a point makes sense,BUT....why is there any reason to think Rangers or Celtic could play on level terms with the big 3 or 4 in England ?....Arsenal are a brilliantly run club making huge financial profits,they cant win anything and barely hold onto their top 4 status every season,so what makes you think Rangers/Celtic would find it so easy....what makes you think the big 2 up there could attract the worlds top players ? i think you delude yourselves to a point when it comes to the popularity of the 2 clubs on a world scale....outside britain,and certainly europe they are virtually un heard of !.....do you really think they are popular in all corners of the world like say Man Utd,Liverpool,Barcelona R madrid etc are ?.....you say it would not take many years,whats not many ? 10,20 30 ? what happens while we wait for them to come good,should we not allow them to be relegated to the lower leagues,what makes Rangers and Celtic so special.....personally id rather see the likes of Cardiff up in the premier league,big club who will be there on merit not because everyone feels sorry for them and their big name.....a name is big from the present the future and the past....not just the past.....Scottish football in general is very poor,its no coincidence that they produce very few decent footballers now compared to years ago.....is money to be blamed for that as well ? 15/20 years ago you would have had a fair point simply because Scotland produced so many top quality footballers,just as Ireland did,but the fact they now produce nothing.....gives you even less argument to put up as for why and how you could compete down here. Personally i think Rangers/Celtic would be mid table championship sides,at best...clearly in Scotland the sport of football is not as popular as it once was,thats not our fault or moneys fault,its your own societies fault.

Guest THE BEATNICK Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 celtic and rangers have supporter clubs all over america and canada as well as aus/new zealand and lots of asia so to say their unheard of outside britain is nonsence, what would attract the players to them is the same thing that attracts players to any club money or do you really think the forgein players come for anything else, take the money from the premiership and youve got another spl. i listened to the sports news and it said england were going to start a scheme to help encourage kids into football and develope their skill as it seems theyre not producing the quality players the once did and scotland had already started it and it was starting show encourageing signs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hand on heart....yes!,why should it not be believable....because you say so???Everything i say is true about these two clubs inc their world wide support,not a marketed support for the sale of shirts and merchandise,just as the boy above said genuine supporters clubs in every corner of the planet. You talk of the lack of talent coming through in Scotland as if this was irelevant to your opinion? is the EPL as strong cause of the class of English players...no!its because its full of talented foriegners that are playing cause of the big money flying about! Hypotheticaly speaking the old firm playing down south with the kinda money were speaking about after say i dunno maybe after 5 years or so with their added pulling power as clubs to sign top players would certainly make it interesting down there...put it this way the hammers would prob be going down to make way for another two genuine big clubs playing at the top level down there :kiss: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,090 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) West Ham have supporters clubs in Tenerife,Poland,America,Jamaica.....are West Ham a big club,no !.....whats the difference between a " genuine " supporters club and one not genuine ? ....i holidayed in Hawaii some years ago and was amazed to see a huge flag and 1980 FA cup winners poster of West Ham in a local bar.....little did i know i had stumbled across a " West Ham supporters club ".......Chelsea are well supported in Cyprus,Arsenal have a huge following in China etc......dont really amount to much as regards " a following " does it. As regards the talented players in England compared to the talented players in Scotland.....lets not be silly about it,there are world class English footballers or players on the verge of world class playing in the premier league as there has been throughout time....Scotland have stopped producing footballers full stop !!....Its a silly comparison to make or would you like to compile a list of top players England v Scotland over the last 10 years ? I think not. I just dont see what makes you chaps think with a few years and a lot of money behind them why Rangers/Celtic would be up their challenging.....what totally mystifies me is why you would think they have any right to ....especially when they produce such piss poor quality footballers in general.....no offence like. Incidentally,it wont take Rangers or Celtic to drop my Hammers down we,ll manage that fine by ourselves i think Heres a question for you Gaz....whos fault is it that Scotland dont produce top quality footballers anymore ? is that our fault as well ?....or moneys fault Edited March 23, 2011 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
