PELE Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 1 hour ago, approximately dave said: It didn't last though and it was during the fledgling years of organised Association Football in Scotland so not an example now even though its interesting. Rangers and Rangers B are not two different clubs, they are two teams from the same club. This makes it a bit tricky for setting up a league outside the SFA for B teams. If a league is set up outside the SFA the clubs competing in that league will not be elligable for SFA competitions as they would forfeit their membership and licences. If they change their minds they would have to rejoin at the bottom of the pyramid. Not worth it in any direction especially long term financial stability. I wasn't thinking in terms of Sevco forming a league outside the SPFL. It would be the other non b teams. If someone with money came along (not that this is at all likely), then most of the league teams in Scotland could move to a new league set up. In fact, why don't they all do it and ditch the bigot bros, then apply to UEFA to replace the SPFL/SFA? Ditch the bigots. The Central Football League was just an example of where it has been done before, on three occasions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong here, but was the central league not associated with the SFA? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as important as the B teams and another previously messed up vote. Seriously doubt it. Just found 10 teams desperate to avoid relegation beneath a fictional Conference . They're also too busy counting their 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pyramid should have been an opportunity for all clubs to find their level. Some have overcome the obstacles and climbed, while others have slipped into the HL and LL. That’s what it was designed to achieve. Maxwell and his old firm paymasters can threaten all they like, but B Teams being allowed into League 2 and League 1? That is in no one’s interests. When Rangers died, Doncaster claimed it would be Armageddon if the new club Sevco were not allowed to go straight into The Championship. Fortunately enough club chairmen ignored the veiled threats and refused them. The same will happen to any proposal regarding B Teams. Give me ONE coherent reason for this idea that benefits anyone other than Rangers/Celtic? Sevco wouldn't have died if the Murrell's gave us the 600k instead of spending it on a campervan -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
