Rangers' 'Big Tax' case closed after £56million settlement agreed
The lengthy legal battle has come to an end as the HMRC said today it was "pleased to have reached a settlement with the liquidators to recover" £56million of money owed.
Question for you folks. Why is it that the Scottish professional leagues play in their own and not part of the English & Wales consolidated leagues? Seems to me that Scottish professional football would potentially benefit by playing in same leagues as Wales and England. Can someone explain to this yank the history why the Scottish leagues stay separate? Thanks in advance
Before I answer that, could you first quantify why you think the likes of Stenhousemuir or Arbroath would potentially benefit from joining the English and Welsh consolidated leagues?
Mate I live a mile away from the previously mentioned Stenhousemuir who are lucky if they get 200 folk at a home game, they can barely afford to travel the 15 minutes and 8 miles to Stirling for a game without contemplating 700 miles and 14hours to play Exeter on a cold Wednesday evening.
Does that help answer your question?
What the hell is this!?
Almeria and Hearts friendly got called off after some tasty tackles/clashes
I would think it would be money. More money means ability to sign better players. Now I fully admit I’m no expert on Scottish football. Heck I’m not expert on entire UK footbsll. I watch slot of MLS
. But my assumption is the top two leagues in England/Wales have the best TV rights contracts and do if a team can get to first the Championship League then that would pay much more than whatever Scottish TV money the Scottish teams have access to. Then heck of a team gets all the way to the Premier League then Katy bar the door RE the TV money. Again just my assumptionIt's a reasonable assumption, but in Scotland there are towns with league teams where the entire population is just a few thousand, and games attract less than 200 people.I would think it would be money. More money means ability to sign better players. Now I fully admit I’m no expert on Scottish football. Heck I’m not expert on entire UK footbsll. I watch slot of MLS
The people that play for those teams all have full time jobs outside of football. Club turnover is counted in thousands of dollars per year. They cannot afford to hire transport, overnight accommodation, subsidise wages etc to travel to England every second week.
The TV market for what would essentially become 8th tier football is not a very large market.
So while it may seem a decent idea for the SPL teams, as soon as you go down the pyramid, it would likely cause clubs to go bust.
And all that is before you even begin to consider the politics of the different FAs and the wider ramifications it would have on them
I know what that was, why is the e-girl there?
