IF, anything the SPL and SFL should attempted to join forces with the EPL or EFL in an attempt to get financial assistance.

We all know that football clubs in English get far more money from Tv etc than there Scottish partners.

I think the biggest problem is this that for example, why doesn't and ENGLISH club sponsor a Scottish club on a trial basis and any player is groomed by that English club and goes to sign for an even bigger club, then they would get a percentage of his wage, to encourage that club to do more for the clubs in lower league.

for another another football fans know that Crewe, has a lot of players that go onto bigger things through the hard work done by Crewe, then that club should benefit through the whole of that players carreer - if you know what l mean.

Some crazy claims from Adam Virgo:

Says he was dropped for a game to accommodate Du Wei so Celtic could make money from Chinese TV. Of course no proof whatsoever and a claim Celtic rightly deny.

“I received death threats on the phone and by post and, of course, the usual stuff from Rangers fans. For some reason footballers are expected to take that or in some way deserve it.” How does he know 100% this was from Rangers fans?

Sounds like he's looking for a new club, but going about it all the wrong way if he wants a move to Scotland.

He doesn't but he will have been brainwashed that anything bad happening to celtic players must be the big bad Rangers fans. :rolleyes:

Wouldn't surprise me that celtic played Du Wei to try and earn some money, he certainly wasn't signed for his footballing ability. Maybe they played him in lieu of their mythical Japanese tour that they used as an excuse to shaft Rangers and refused to extend the season a few years back?

I see your grasp of history is green tinted as usual.



Still no news on Dunfermlines fine for going into administration or even the slightest hint of Hearts being accused of bringing the game into disrepute by consistent failures to pay taxes, players etc.

Maybe, just maybe they have realised dumping fines onto struggling teams isn't the best way to about things. :dunce:

Hearts have a transfer embargo and face starting the season with -15 points.

Surely the SPL can't allow a club in this state to actually start the season? Isn't their now due diligence measures in place? You'd have to say there is a very good chance that Hearts won't see out the full SPL season.
