Yes, though they are more Christmas nativity halo than hat.

No they can't be allowed to take the place of any of these teams. Ultimately the "extra" place must be taken by a team in the feeder to the football league, the conference.
No "must" about it. The football league would have to accept any team into the league. Similar to the way the SPL can refuse team promotion into it due to a club not fulfilling certain criteria. Same rules apply in probably all the different leagues up and down the english pyramid.

Haven't Poole Town won their league for a few years in a row but been denied promotion due to a shite ground?

Sorry badly worded, I didn't mean it couldn't happen, I meant franchise football must not be allowed to happen.

I cant see it happening either. IF one or both of the Grusome Twosome wanted to join any particular league in the pyramid, they concievabley could. Not sure what FIFA or UEFA would say about it though.
Personally I hope both the fuckers go bust. Everyone wins then!

Source is the People...so doubt there's much substance in it. Though agree with the wider point that if Celtic want to join the English leagues they should start at the bottom like everyone else.
Franchise?

Am I right in thinking that Celtic and Rangers get the lions share of the TV money ala Spain?

Ta, tans
So surely if they split the TV money equally it would make more of a competitive league one presumes, or are the big two just so greedy that aren't interested in parity? The question then would be why are they so desperate to get into the English Leagues, the obvious answer is an even bigger slice of the cake than they are getting now.
