What chance we see rival SPLs next season?

1081

I wonder if we will see two rival Scottish Premier Leagues next season?  We could see a SPL consistent with the threats made to SFL clubs last week, let’s call it SPL Loyal, with Hibs, KIlmarnock and a few others.  They would sit atop a feeder league containing whoever they could attract from the SFL and Sevco, who due to fan power would be excluded from the top division, no matter how few teams that division had.

Meanwhile a rival SPL could setup, let’s call it SPL Solvent, with Celtic, those from the Gang of 10 who realise they are better-off participating in a league which is likely to survive until next May, along with the teams who last season finished near the top Scottish Football league.

SPL Solvent would make no threats to exclude SFL clubs who were due promotion on merit, and would therefore attract the balance of SFL clubs; which is likely to be the overwhelming majority.  This league would contain the only club with the ability to underwrite the commitments needed to bring broadcasters and commercial partners on-board.  It would also be free of, moral and ethical questions, where clubs are united with their fans on what it means to organise sporting events.

It’s not the worst idea floated in recent weeks.

    pardon my sixpenneth worth .

     

     

    I’d suggest a £5 a ticket . across the forums/sites/twitter you could/should get 200 entrants.

     

     

    could you get £1K as an auction bid ?

     

     

    obv , adjust these figures as you see fit.

    The raffle tickets would be sold via justgiving, and gives everybody a change to win.I agree might not maximise the fund,if a rich bhoy wants to bid some funny money, but then that rich bhoy could donate to Oscar as well, as you raffle bhoys :-)

    TTTT and sannabhoy make a good point, £5 tickets may make more money, I’ll buy 4 for example, but my daughter wouldn’t buy one for £20 she just might at a fiver. Lower price more sales.

    Why thank you kind sir.

  6. So does that mean Spain only get to play friendlies for the next 4 years? World champs and Euro champs – assume they don’t have to qualify for the next two tournies?

    thanks… I feel so much better now at not being the only one with shocking timing :-)

  10. I’ve long since liked Del Bosque. Think he was shoddilly treated by Madrid some years ago.

    Sorry if I burst anyone’s coupon. Just to even things up.. I just can’t see us winning the Trebble, even with Rangers in the grave.

    I am sure whether you go auction or raffle the Celtic community will respond in their usual generous manner
