Of the 42 member sides of the SPFL, 22 employ players on a full-time basis, while the remaining 20 are part-time. Strachan thinks the lack of fully professional sides is holding the game back. "If you want to be a professional club, show it," he told the BBC's Scottish football podcast. "Have full-time employees, have full-time players, have an academy, do the whole lot. Just don't play at being a football team and expect us to look after you. "When you talk about clubs coming into the league, what are they bringing in? Two hundred people per week to a game, is that really professional football? "The teams in the bottom two leagues at the moment, in general, how many players have they produced over the last 14 years?"

Fife Saint Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 First cost cutting exercise should be the absolutely frivolous 'technical director' at a diddy club such as Dundee. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Strachan truly is an absolute cretin who has no place in Scottish football.

TheLad Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It was too difficult, due to genetics. Or something. Yeah, it simply wasnt fair though.The other teams were bigger, stronger, faster, were better at football and had better tactics. All we ask for is a level playing field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally no-one thinks Hearts weren't shite. We were, with Halkett being one of the shitest in the last few games. The punishment for being shite after 30 games though isn't demotion during an economic crisis. Or it shouldn't be. Anyhow, let's end the league now. Hearts promoted, Dundee and St Johnstone relegated. Seems fair. There's a pandemic on after all. Much more important things to worry about than football. 8 games to go or 26 what's the difference? We should have a vote. Edited October 16, 2020 by 8GamesToGo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
