Confederated league gathers pace as Belarus bids to join

905

The momentum for a confederated regional league in Eastern Europe continues to gather pace with clubs from Belarus keen to join.  With a population of around 10m, Belarus is sandwiched between Russia, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states, but their league has been rendered uncompetitive by the domination of Bate Borisov, who are on their way to eight-in-a-row titles.

Bate, who are now Champions League regulars, have no opportunity to progress while the rest of the league do not have the resources to compete with them.  A regional league would solve all their problems.

Russian and Ukrainian clubs are aiming to have a confederated league in place by the start of 2014, with sponsors thought to be keen to step forward and underwrite whatever is necessary to smooth the way, but the Ukrainian FA suggest 2016 is a more viable date.

Scottish football stands to gain more from regionalisation than anywhere else on the planet. We need to have this debate before blindly stumbling into another Management of Decline while legislators in Minsk leave us behind!

Today is the last guaranteed posting date for CQN Annuals before Christmas, so if you haven’t ordered yet, this is your chance.

Many thanks for the tremendous support of the Annual in recent weeks.  We have shipped lots to Australia, Canada and USA, across various European and Asian countries, and to hundreds of towns and cities across Scotland, England and Ireland.  Even Ayrshire!

Last guaranteed date before Christmas. You can order the CQN Annual here!

    Aye, A CHRISTMAS CARD…….LOL

  8. Why are fans of the club previously know as Rangers now supporting a new entity in the scottish lower league? Would it not have been easier to gravitate towards Heart of Midlothian FC, given the ‘traditions’ they used to share?

  9. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    There’s something not quite right about this share issue……..did the institutional investors actually pay cash for £17m of shares today, or are they the shares they actually owned before today …. This is going to be very interesting, assuming we get to see the detail

  10. I notice that the BBC site has Rankers under the SPL heading when talking of the share issue.

     

     

    So there we have it.

     

     

    None of this ever happened.

    Think Huntelaars a great player, he was scoring for

     

    fun a while back. Dont know much about Holbty.

     

     

    Thought there was talk of huntelaar going to england,

     

    although every player is supposed to be going to england.

    Not only Huntelaar going to England. Ive heard Forster Mathews Izzagurre Wanyama and Hooper are all headed south in the New Year.
