Yeh he's right about English football but sadly wrong about Scottish football. I don't even take joy in saying it, its just a fact that its fucking awful.

I don't even take joy in saying it, its just a fact that its fucking awful.I agree that the ‘best league in the world’ nonsense is exactly that. However-the SPL is a dreadful far cry from the heyday of Scottish football. It’s a seriously poor standard now and if you look at who’s moved there from this league recently it says quite a bit.
Tom Lawrence and Todd Cantwell haven’t exactly stood out for Rangers since they moved
Lived there for quite a while and their love for football is on another level. Sadly the quality is the opposite.Yeh he's right about English football but sadly wrong about Scottish football. I don't even take joy in saying it, its just a fact that its fucking awful.

Back in the day those two could have come down and joined the premier league and would have been contending for Europa league from the off - if they came down now they'd be somewhere in the championship.
Cantwell looked quality when they played us was it last season or the 1 beforeYeh he's right about English football but sadly wrong about Scottish football. I don't even take joy in saying it, its just a fact that its fucking awful.

Might even be the one before that tbf.Cantwell looked quality when they played us was it last season or the 1 before
It's league 2 standard for the most part. Bakayoko played in the SPL on loan from Forest Green ffs. I think most people overestimate it if anything. It's dire.Signing for a Scottish club whoever they are is tantamount to either to a lack of ambition or an admission of being not good enough for the Championship in my opinion. The SPL is a truly dreadful league with teams made up of cast offs and substandard players. The proof of this is the performance in Europe of those teams which qualify. Abysmal.
Anyone else always feel this way during the trabsfer window…
Hadn’t considered Browne as a potential signing before about 10 days ago now really hope we land him
Bloody hell you may be rightMight even be the one before that tbf.

It's not though is it. Great history and tradition and 2 of the worlds biggest clubs playing in the worlds biggest derby on more money than here with European football. The media has a lot to answer for with England centric view of football just look at the European competitions this year, how did the 'best league in the world' get on? Had Virgil Van Dijk or Henrick Larsson given up on football when they signed for Celtic

Yeah. I used to be reasonably defensive of the pair of them but having watched a few of the recent old firm games, both teams have declined massively.I agree that Celtic and Rangers are two massive clubs but I genuinely think they would struggle to hold their own in the Championship these days
They are and that was a very fortunate sequence of games where they got lucky on multiple occasionsRangers recent run to Europa league final I think shows the old firm are not getting worse at all.
Don't be absurd.They are and that was a very fortunate sequence of games where they got lucky on multiple occasions
In reality an individual cup run doesn't mean much. Celtic always finish above Rangers yet their recent European record sees them exit to teams from Norway, Hungary, Romania etc...Don't be absurd.
An SPL team and a Serie B team... I think we can hold our own.So basically, the Browne scenario is looking unlikely. If it comes down to us, Celtic or an Italian team, we’re running at least third on his list.
Every Irishman’s dream club, and have you seen Salerno? lolAn SPL team and a Serie B team... I think we can hold our own.

We overachieved massivelyYeah, only Plymouth, Rotherham & Sheffield Wednesday had a lower wage bill in the official club accounts.
There's always flaws as obviously it's 12 months behind, some were PL clubs, some were L1 etc. & it doesn't just cover playing staff but it's the only accurate figures you will get.
Fwiw, I expect we'll have seen a reasonably substantial increase to ours this year.

Biggest contract Preston have ever offered by all accounts
Could scupper us if so

that's bullshitGoing Stoke, apparently.
Not sure he’ll fancy Serie B over the Championship.Salernitana tried to buy him in January, was always expected they'd come back in once he was a free agent.
Never been to Stoke but someone once said to me Stoke made Coventry look like Knightsbridge.I lived in Stoke once. Thankfully I escaped after 6 months
Err don't think so Skyblue Bangkok.Never been to Stoke but someone once said to me Stoke made Coventry look like Knightsbridge.
Maybe one day I'll get there but it's a bit far at 6400 miles from where I live.Err don't think so Skyblue Bangkok.
Granted it's not great but it's no worse than Coventry, believe me I lived up there for nearly 30 years until moving back closer to home last year to South Leicestershire to downsize and be closer to our children.
I have to say the one big advantage Stoke on Trent has over Coventry is the surrounding countryside, The Staffordshire Moorlands is outstanding, breathtakingly beautiful.
That alone is certainly a consideration for anyone thinking of signing for the clayheads and Manchester with its retail experience and vibrant nightlife is easily accessible from there too.
But don't take my word for it, go see for yourself, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Cost tha kick a bo agen a wo an yed it til thee bost eet?
Just a tad.Maybe one day I'll get there but it's a bit far at 6400 miles from where I live.
Unless we play Stoke away when I'm over in August and I can get a ticket.Just a tad.
