Yes but there is a big difference between the premier league & SPL, Money. You get more getting finishing bottom of the league and getting relegated than you winning the champions league. In my opinion it has wrecked the english game. If Sunderland were in the SPL they would not have the money to throw £60m down the drain like Keane did.

Is it just me or is David Healey the biggest let down in English Football.You talk about him being an absoulate Gem for NI and rightly so but when it comes to club football he`s a disaster.If he really was as good as his fans make him out then I dont think SAF one of the greatest managers of all time would have let him leave Manu.Was Fergie wrong in letting him leave? Of course he wasnt.Healey went to Preston I think anyway and was terrible there he then moved to Leeds and still his form at this Level wasnt great.He got another crack at the big time with Fulham and lets be honest the only reason he did was because of Lawrie Sanchez,his ex International manager.Dont get me wrong if I was Lawrie and knew what Healey could do on the Internation stage and had worked with him,id probably have took a gamble and signed him also.The Premiership was a step up too much for Healey.Roy Keane took another gamble and give him another crack but lets be honest as good as Roy was a player his decisions when signing players werent great which ended in his down fall.I think Healey has been lucky with NI and some of the wonderful goals he scored but when it comes to being a decent player he just isnt.Great players are players who can turn it on for both country and club alike.I think Rangers would be crazy to sign him as even the SPL would be above Healeys level.

Losing Boyd would be a big loss for Rangers. His goals have been a lifeline for them this season and he's only reaching his prime.

Monster Munch sales will plummet in the Glasgow area. Bad news for their producers during the credit crunch.

Well Said Wbaamos28....

Although Sunderland are struggling with the 9 other teams at the bottom of the premiership... if they were in the SPL they'd be in the top 5... the SPL is probably the most boring league in the world... every single season Celtic and Rangers battling it out... At least in England there are 4 teams and plenty Derby matches rather than simply the big one... If Pedro Mendes is a star player in that League compared to Gerrard, Deco, Lampard, what chance does that league have... I'd much rather be involved in the English Premier League than any other league in the world. I hope Healy doesn't move... keep him at Sunderland... £1M valuation is ridiculous anyway! Keep with Miller... Derby's finest!

wbaamos28 (U12292252) In the early nineties, rangers wer the best team in Britain, might not be now, but on their budget for transfers and wages, they made it to the UEFA cup final last year and celtic did it in 2003 i think. Lets put it like this, if Rangers and Ceptic got into the EPL, they are going to get more money, bigger better deals..so if you wher a player in that case, who would you rather play for, Aston Villa, or Glasgow Rangers or Celtic to of thee most renowned names in football? i think that answers itself! so in otherwords we'd attract better players!! now step down of your high pirch.Sunderland and Birmingham are awful teams.

Talk of a Colin Healy replacement for Boydy!. Not convinced, what I’ve read and seen he’s outstanding for Northern Ireland, but a very average club footballer. Haven’t we already got one of those in lafferty? might as well hand the title to celtic now for there 4 in a row..... from a very disgruntled gers fan!
