I remember the early Soccer A.M's doing ticket news on matchdays and most games had tickets available back then. Including places like Anfield.

"But Rangers and Celtic would not be fighting relegation, they would be adding to England's top four."
Adding to their goal difference maybe...
And yes, it's a stupid idea

Initially, Rangers and Celtic would struggle to make much of an impact but after a year or two I'm sure they would challenge. They have massive fan bases and once they were rid of the drag they have on their growth - membership of the SPL - they would benefit hugely from joining the Prem. So the comment about joining the Big Four is not quite as daft as it sounds, I'd say.
Won't happen though.

Letting Celtic and Rangers join the English league structure doesn't make any sense for any English teams.
I can see there being a Premier League 2 or more likely, The Championship splitting from the rest of the Football League to get their own TV deal. I'm not sure that would be a bad thing either, League 1 and 2 could join up with the Conference for a TV deal - it would probably end up generating more money for everyone.

It just wouldn't. League one and two tag along with the championship at the moment, were we to ditch the championship for the conference with regards to TV money we'd get fuck all. Would you rather invest in newcastle-west brom or Barrow-Tamworth??

Think it's on the cards that they're heading for trouble. I suspect Eddie Davis their backer and sugar daddy isn't far from pulling out in the next few years and they'll very quickly drop like a Southampton or Leeds with those losses.

Good. Gartside is a cock. I wonder what will come first: a relegation free premiership or Bolton phoning Andronikou? I'd love to see Andy helping Bolton. The sooner the better please.

They're in debt by £93m...which is getting close to Pompey's £100m+.
One bad season and they could be calling in AA. I cannot believe Gartside says that they are 'financially sound'.

They are now £93m in debt. Who the fuck is dumb enough to let them run up that kind of tab?
Incredible that even after Pompey the football authorities are still doing fuck all about it.

I'm sure Mr. Gartside will begin lobbying a new hair brained scheme soon enough.
