Correct SB, but its still new for the SPL teams to be in europe this long.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostThey are both looking in better shape than Liverpool though.
They do have a history of falling at the last hurdle, a bit like the national sideComment

Maybe so, I put it down to the fact that both halves of the Old Firm have been forced down the road of promoting homegrown youngsters much more. That is starting to pay dividends now both at domestic and national level. Too much cash in the premiership for it ever to happen down in England though. Seems to be adversely affecting the national side down south very much for the worse. Anyway, what's all this whining by Rafa about the Board not backing him? £21M for Torres alone? Wish our board were that stingey!Originally posted by FiveTimes View Post“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

21M for Torres is all they have really spent. The rest of the transfers he made in the summer have been recouped by selling.. Our net outlay this summer was about 25-28M.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View Post
Before the Yanks invested we were spending that anyway, so they haven't really increased his transfer funds.
He is having a bit of a moan about missing out on Bosman/free players and they don't understand the speed needed to get things in place.
Gillette and Hicks are only coming over mid December to "discuss" things, by then the players could have gone.
One thing that could get sorted out ASAP is the perm signing of Mascherano which the board seem reluctant to sanction

The fact that the big two were skint has really helped the national team as the big two had to field and play young scottish players.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View Post
Although this has caused a few shock results.
The longer this happens the better the national team will become.
Agreed that there is far too much money in the prem.Comment

Does anyone agree that there would be a huge benefit to the national teams if we put a limit on the number of foreign players in each team? I recall many years ago that this was discussed but have not kept up to date on it...
Soz if this has already been covered...

That used to be the case, but not sure if it made a lot of difference back then. Seems to be working for the Scots at the moment though. Worth a try IMHO.Originally posted by daviejones View Post“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

Don't think decreasing it will help any.Comment
