Rod Stewart is confusing. His father was scottish and supported Hibs. Rod himself was born in North London and see him self as English. He supported Arsenal as a boy. Now his english team is Man United. After a gig in Scotland he met Jock Stein + some Celtic players. Then he became Celtic mad. Oh and he supports Scotland national team..

Brendan Roger’s - 2 5th place finishes and an Fa cup with Leicester. But according to Simon he didn’t do very well

@TheThilfyOne

19 күн бұрын

The final season he was shafted by Leicester. The club didn’t back him. But there’s this narrative that ‘he let them down’. They let him down by not giving him the backing to rebuild the squad. They sold the clubs best CB(fofana) to Chelsea for 80m on the last day of the season. Everyone knew it was coming the entire window but they didn’t buy anyone or spend any money in that window. Any other manager who didn’t get backing from the club after a successful season would not be getting the blame for the clubs downfall. But it suits his narrative to put the blame on Rodgers.

Scottish Football needs people like Simon to get rid of the rabble who run that league

First big offer comes in for Rogers and he'll be away again.

Scotland's biggest problem is being neighbours to England. If they bordered Finland or Denmark they wouldn't have an inferiority complex but they are constantly measuring themselves against a far bigger country. The Scottish league will never be a major European league. How can it be? The third biggest club in Scotland is Aberdeen (or Hibs or Hearts depending who you ask.) These are small clubs. They're about the same size as Bradford City and Blackpool. You will never sell this to a global audience. it gets dramatically worse after those 3 clubs because we then plummet to the likes of Motherwell, Kilmarnock and Ross County. It'll take the greatest genius in mankind's history to sell those clubs to a global audience.

Brendan doesn't hide his arrogance as well as other managers.

Notice that "Bodgers" no longer uses the word "Character" in his post match conversations, hats off to the fella, he's finally realised he doesn't really understand what it means.

Left a four horse race to manage in a two horse race......how is that brave?

It's no good having one big club dominating the SPL.

Truth is i'd rather watch a Celtic Rangers match than any of the soulless corporate dross that England serves up. I couldn't care less about English football..i used to enjoy it but it's become so plastic. Celtic and Rangers is pure theatre, the noise, the passion, the intensity. There's nothing in England to compare to that. They've also ben to three Euro finals between in the last 21 years .

You could argue that the English premier league is just as boring nowadays since its inception in 1992 only 7 different teams have won it Blackburn Leicester and Liverpool 1 each Arsenal 3 Chelsea 5 Manchester City 7 and Manchester United 13 . To me that doesn’t seem that different to Scottish premier with fewer teams and a lot less revenue in the Scottish game

More money needs to be pump into the SPL. For example there should be enough money that the old firm can spend £100m each in the summer transfer. The rest Should be able to spend £70m to £80m during the summer transfer period. A TV deal like this should be signed for 6 years & if that goes well sign other deal which is bigger after that 6 years.

You only see Rod Stewart at the Rangers v Celtic games never the Ross County, Kilmarnock, Dundee v Celtic matches i wonder why.

Rod actually VALIDATES Simon's point - twice! He says that the top two would take a few years to get out of England's second tier. He also fails to recognise that, beyond those two, there is no quality in the Scottish game. If he thought otherwise, he'd have added Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, or whoever, into that equation of how Scottish clubs would fare in the English league

Fun fact. In the late 1980s, the Scottish league got as high as 5th in the UEFA coefficients. Alright, English clubs were banned at the time. That’s pretty impressive. And shows what Scottish football could be capable of. Clubs like Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, and Dundee Utd would be capable of challenging the Old Firm, with some investment. Everyone waxes lyrical about Ryan Reynolds about Wrexham. But Wrexham will hit a glass ceiling should they get up to the Championship. But Scottish clubs are cheaper to buy. And to win the Scottish title, at a club outside the Old Firm, doesn’t need that much money. It would cost an investor less to achieve this. than to get someone like Wrexham up to the Premier League from the lower English leagues. Plus you have easier access to European competition. The TV money is low at present, but raise the profile of the league, and that will sort itself out. It will always be in the shadow of the league down south, because they have ten times the population. Even if the big money left English football, it will still have massive advantages. That said, Scottish football is not as destined to perennial mediocrity, as some make out. It still occasionally shows it can punch above its weight. And with the current state of politics out in Eastern Europe, football isn’t the priority in these countries, leaving secondary West European leagues to fill the void.

Brendan Rogers is a very good manager and I think he is more than capable of managing a big club in the premiership.

It's Ostrich not Emu, Simon. Learn the difference

How can anyone be 'brave' managing Celtic or Rangers? They have won 40 straight SPL's The SPL is a joke

The only objective for Celtic or Rangers is to finish above the other. What a boring sub-standard league.

You forget that 30 years of ridiculous investment has caused England to win precisely what Scotland has won.

A world cup??

It has to be the most boring league in Europe. Playing each other four times a season is bad enough but only have two clubs ever involved in winning it over the last few decades is depressing. If I were Scottish I’d be trying to claim asylum in England, hiding under a lorry at Berwick or whatever, maybe take a small boat from Aberdeen and get in that way? I wonder if one day we’ll see another club winning the SPL? There’s always hope I guess eh. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

you forget the population is small and rangers and celtic have the most support

Simon, I think you should go up to Scotland and re build the leagues on an EPl model. You have the business savvy and it could be a lasting legacy

As for the utter pish he’s talking about attendances… the Scottish league is the most attended in Europe per head of population.

Jim White talking utter rubbish
