Buddist Monk Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 First off.. With the source here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45225593 I've got a lot of time for Fowler, for all the obvious reasons, but I think he's selling us a little short. He does go on to say a lot of it is based on money, and that is most definitely true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincolnHearts Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It's all money. Cowdenbeath or East Stirling could play in the EPL if they received the money they do down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Having watched a number of League One matches since moving down here, I'd say that his comments are relatively accurate. If we're talking primarily about the current quality of each Scottish Premiership team without the inflated finances which English football could provide, I'd say that Celtic would hold their own in the Premier League, Aberdeen/The Rangers/Hibs/Hearts would hold their own in the Championship, Kilmarnock/Motherwell/St. Johnstone would be competing near the top of League One, and the other teams could also hold their own in that league. It's a difficult comparison to make, however, as the styles are so different. There are decent English Championship players who would maybe struggle in our top-tier. There are decent Scottish Premiership players who would maybe struggle in League Two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB7 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 He has went right down in my estimations now. Been down there a month and now he is a football Oracle. Hate it when when people put the Scottish game down . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to add into the first post that what he said was probably from a longer conversation more likely about Sunderland than Scottish football.

Savage Henry Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Doesn’t really deny that’s what he said, does he? Just saying “so far” doesn’t change the meaning.From that, I’ve learned James Fowler is thick as shit, and plain wrong. Graham Carey is regarded as a star in League One. Plymouth Argyle were very successful with players who were miles off Premiership standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, judging by the standard of some of the players Accies have signed from Leagues One & Two this summer. Some are decent, some are absolute howlers.

Dons_1988 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 It really is pointless.Derek McInnes was spot on when he was asked about how Scottish football was viewed by Burnley/England when he said he really couldn’t careless.This obsession with comparisons to another league are utterly futile.
