    With all the talk of the big 12 European teams looking to close shop and form an American stile no in, no out, league the question is (I don’t know how to put a pole up sorry) would we join it if asked and would we be happy to go.

    We have had the would we, won’t we to the English leagues maybe with the big 6 joining from the EPL if they get booted from the EPL would we be happy to join that instead.

    This current board would 100% sell their * soul for a few quid and to pretend to be with the big boys. No doubt in my mind these tory * would ask how high they want us to jump and happily accept an invite, hypothetically offered.

    Should we? As a club, as a fanbase go in to bed with this sort of anti-sporting nonsense?
    Absolutely * not.
    And absolutely no to joining the EPL. I am hard pushed to agree to join it in any "normal" conditions in the first place, would 100% be against filling the * void of those 6 just to help prop up the English game

    When you created the thread @richie87 there was an option below your post, just add a question and the answer options... Might let you add a poll retrospectively :50:

    I’d go to any league the Huns weren’t playing in.

    They need us.. we don’t need them.

    For all our posturing we would be off like a shot to a revamped league.

    Cant see the big six leaving the EPL,think they want the best of both worlds.I think this whole thing is just a way of them getting more money from UEFA.

    With regards to us going to the EPL we would be mad to turn it down the way things are going.Huge prize money and everything thing that comes with that.

    We’re a Scottish club who should play in a Scottish league. No interest whatsoever in moving to England or any other league for that matter.

    I believe DD and DMcK would have us away in heart beat even if the EPL had the big 6 absent it would still be a more attractive than the SPL and they would be like a dog with two dicks running to join

    fck DD would explode if we were asked to join the ESL

    Seriously don't know.

    In utopia we would stay in a competitive Scotland, reality is the fact its a two horse race means the "old firm" will always be it's unique selling point.

    I'd like to be in a league that is more than games against they *.

    * it, its a yes for * and giggs.

    Edit...I've changed my mind again, no...* the *.

    Nope the league will crumble and teams will die if the big 6 leave the sky money will dwindle. Basically the bubble will burst

    Sounds like the full thing will fall on it's *. The backlash is obviously greater than they expected.

    I like the idea of playing in the Scottish league but the idea of going down there and seeing their tears after we win their league is very tempting.

    Think the misunderstanding is they are leaving EPL which is not true, they have just created like their own side league which they can never be removed from, to generate extra $$$ by playing the top teams over and over, rich clubs league.
