    Think we should always have a national league, would prefer it if they replaced the champions league with something more interesting

    Another thing is would all these big teams give up all that money and maybe winning their home league more often that not, to playing in super league and maybe never winning it.

    That's what I mentioned in that only way it would happen is if UEFA chose to change it which just now wont happen or teams leave UEFA which there would be few willing to do so.

    I see a future with MLS and European type cup, MLS is growing fast and a lot of money being pumped in that UEFA would want to get their hands on.
    Tv deal alone for that would be huge.

    What do you mean by MLS and European type cup? Something like MLS Cup playoffs, but on European level? Like, SPL, Eredivisie, Belgian champions etc get together at the end of the same season and do a short playoff tournament?

    Or something else?

    I'd rather clubs stay with their National identity, why does everything has to be globalised these days?

    I think a more feasible solution is strengthening the league in Scotland. It needs to be reorganised so that other clubs have a chance. And there needs to be some way to get the fans back into the stands. Otherwise most of the stadiums are headed for becoming boneyards, I'm afraid.

    I agree. I would welcome a bigger league, but I don't think that it's going to happen. It seems more productive to focus on strengthening the Scottish league somehow. It's not going to turn into the EPL, but there must at least be a way to get to and above Norwegian league's TV and sponsorship revenues with some work and reforms.

    Waste of a threat. Never going to happen just like the English league bullshit as well. Never going to happen. And for our owner he's living in a dream world. More interested in his 7iron rather than our club.

    I'd support anything which helps us shake the shackles of the SPL. I don't care for anyones petty nationalism with regards to it either.
