Yuk.
No I'm not a big fan of Rangers or Celtic to be honest. However as this is the 'Scottish Football' thread I didn't see anything wrong with my post?
There is a bit of a inherit bias among English fans and media (at least from what I can see as a foreign fan. The whole "farmers league" mentality) that managers that haven't started in a top 5 league or the Championship aren't really good enough.
I'm saying I didn't think he would have got the job if it wasn't for his name. Big 2 in Scotland is still a good job and it was Gerrard's first job.
The whole 9-years-old is a stupid argument tbf. The liquidation and formation of a new corporation does not erase the connection. Clubs are more like nations in that regard, would you say Russia didn’t win WW2 as it was the USSR of France as it was the third republic?
Both of the old firm clubs run on this model. Sell a value asset (player or manager) every few years to balance the books.
Not when that club has claimed to be null and void by themselves. They themselves said they were a new team, new business to avoid paying a 30 mill debt.
+ cherry pick the best players from the minions as is the rest of Scottish football keep them in their place thus keeping Rangers & Celtic at the top if over the years Dundee Utd, Hibernian, Hearts & Aberdeen had been allowed to keep and develop their best players each of them might have had a chance of a challenge for the league.
It's not true either.
Happens in every league, unless strict wage and number of player limits are brought it, it will continue to happen. Scottish clubs had their chance over the past decade to try and step and fill the void left by Rangers demotion, no team could do it. What that did was allow Celtic to be come poorer and still walk the league and cups every season this the entire standard of the league dropped. Unfortunately due to the existing fan bases and world wide interest in the old firm nobody will compete without serious external investment.
i presume that new corporate structure paid the debts off that their club owed. Sure any club can do that. Oh we owe 50 mill. We'll declare ourselves bankrupt drop down a div and build back up.
You're an angry Celtic fan. Move on, it's just a pub league and not that important.That bastion of fairness uefa
Yeah happens in Spain,Germany etc and Scotland other teams can’t sustain a realistic challenge due to financial restraints the two biggest supported clubs arguably are Hearts & Hibs one was unjustly relegated and are languishing in the league below the other as per usual comes out of the blocks at a great pace then goes pear shaped and runs out of steam.
