Old Firm to join Premier League

[adam_smith]

So this week ive been hearing rumors that the two biggest clubs in Scotland may join the English Premier. Do you see this as a good move from both the clubs themselves and the premier league or can you see it being a big flop ?

I think it would be a good move for the clubs but i really can't see them challenging for honours maybe the odd FA cup and League cup Finals every once and a while. All in all they will just be another premiership club just like the likes of Spurs, Man City and Everton and no where near big four beaters.

agreed, spl is way off the standard of premier league

I don't think it should happen at all. There's a huge list of reasons why.

[ficti0n]

Scottish football is pretty much known for Celtic and rangers (and maybe Aberdeen cos of fergie). Without em Scottish football would go down shitter a bit.

[Tim]

Celtic and Rangers would just be another team like Tottenham/Everton in the premier league

[Leon]

They're Scottish simple as, so should play in Scotland.

By the same logic I do indeed think Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham should be playing in Wales. If they moved there now it would only improve the Welsh league.

[Tim]

an cardiff an swansea are likely to win something lol

[Leon]

Well if they hadn't played in the English league for the last God knows how many years they wouldn't be in the position and status they are, but like I say if they moved now I don't see what would be wrong with it.

Obviously they'd complain about the obvious downfall in money, but rightfully they should be playing in the Welsh league anyway.

If they moved there now they'd;



Have a great chance of winning the domestic competitions.
Have a great chance of getting into europe, which can only be good and bring back some of the revenue they'd miss out on being in the English league.
Bring through more Welsh talent and improve the youth system of Wales and therefore help the Welsh national team.
Bring more revenue and publicity to the league, we in England always get the updates on England and Scotland, but never Wales it seems

....and many many more reasons. Which are also the same reasons Celtic and Rangers should stay in Scotland.
