Quote from: illdecide on October 23, 2017, 11:58:26 AMIn my opinion it already has illdecide and the demise of Rangers was somewhat of a catalyst in this as well as clubs starting to run within their means and maximising potential.It gave clubs like the Aberdeen's Dundee's and Edinburgh clubs the chance to fill a void and compete with a traditional powerhouse and they have in spades in my opinion.
I have been saying that for a few years, the EPL is not as good as people think it is. The MOTD on a Sat night makes it look good (as does all highlights) but watch a live game and it's not good. I also agree that money has ruined the EPL, young players have got it too easy and earn stupid money which does take the edge of them. I agree Scottish football is of a lesser level but at least you get 100% commitment and hunger and desire from the players.
The day SKY or BT Sports pulls the pin on the TV money there will be some clubs going to the wall, bar Sevco the rest of Scottish clubs spent within their means and are surviving on a shoe string budget. English National team have regressed and so has the EPL clubs playing in the CL, Scottish football has bottomed out and I believe will improve over the next decade.
Even the crowds attending non old firm games are increasing year on year.
This might sound like after talk but if you had given me 100 hundred euro yesterday and put a gun to my head and said Motherwell or Rangers id have said Motherwell all day long and i guarantee you the motherwell management were very confident going into that game yesterday.
