If Rangers and Celtic moved into the Premiership within 4 or 5 years the league would end up the same as here in Scotland.

A two horse race.

I have both.

Seemingly you have time to read it and reply.

If you don't agree that's fine this website is about debate, join in or don't, your choice, but no need to get angry, have you tried councelling?

It is inevitable that Celtic and Rangers will compete in a league including Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea within 10 years - it's called "Market Forces".

I'm not so sure that THAT league will be called "The Premiership" or that it will be based in England!

It's far more likely to based Europe-wide and also include Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Internazionale, Bayern Munich etc, etc.

The market appeal for such a league is too great for "profit-hungry" businessmen to ignore.
Already guys like Berlusconi, Abramovich, The Glazer family, Hicks & Gillet etc will have teams investigating the structure and timelines of such a league.

Should Blatter and Platini continue to be so far removed from the business realities of football as an entertainment indusrty (rather than a sport), then it may even appear sooner rather than later.

Many of us of a certain age have already seen the "likely" realities of a Worldwide sport for profit and political control on the big screen - It was called "Rollerball" and it showed pretty much the way mass marketed sports entertainment will go as we progress through this Century.

Cristiano Ronaldo is already the real life "Jonathon E"!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Jonathan E had morals and refused to kill his opponent even though he knew he could.

What is Ronnie going to do, him to death?

..... I live in the USA now and can see that thier infrastructure towards sports is far superior to that of back home,draft day is a huge event.
-----------------------------------
You're completely missing the point that American sports are insular. You couldn't possibly have draft day in a world competition.

Can you imagine it? "On behalf of WIgan Athletic, I choose Javier the new Bolivian wonderkid to come and play for us"

There's no way Rangers and Celtic would give up their European places

"Gloucester Old Spot" Porcine Arial Display Team (U12463072)


Old Spot, fair enough,

But are you saying that the Premier League in it's current form is good for the game?

Do you think that it will get more or less competitive in the future?

And do you enjoy watching Teams promoted to the Premier League with great Joy, only to be summarily dismissed and utterly embarrassed as they return to the Championship, more likely to go down again than go back up as they struggle to recover from the legacy of financial battering from their Season In The Promised Land?

If you don't give a toss that's fine,
but I do.
