As a country our biggest let down is the points earned by the smaller clubs in the Europa league , when you look at teams from Denmark , Romania etc they always manage to get decent points where as ours just get pumped out early doors

Andrew where are you getting those figures from as I dont think they are right. 32 Glasgow Rangers Sco 14.3500 22.0500 0.3750 6.5332 12.7200 , total points 56.028 , last 5 years including this years ongoing total of 12.72 Also Scotland are currently ranked 15th having risen from16th and very very possibly can reach 14th , remember the actual points won in themselves change due to the dcountry coefficient aspect . What is very very important is that we maintain our current seeding poistion of around the 30,s as this guarentees us a good seeding position every year , second place in the seedings doesn't do us any favours to be honest

Your having a laugh right , just that I didn't see the thread trying to get money from Rangers fans

Scotland recieved a share worth �£6.1 million last year due mainly to the smaller countries getting through to the group stages .

From the UEFA web site dated 14th Sept 2010 The 48 clubs embarking on UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns this week will receive increased prize money compared with the rewards on offer last season, when the rebranded competition began life as the successor to the UEFA Cup. Each team taking part this term will collect a €640,000 participation bonus together with a match bonus of €60,000 for every match played in the group stage. They can add to this total minimum amount of €1m through a series of performance-related rewards, starting with €140,000 per win and €70,000 per draw in their group games. By way of example, if a side wins all six of their group fixtures they will earn a total of €1.84m from the competition by Christmas. Progress beyond that point will trigger further bonus payments worth: €200,000 for reaching the round of 32, €300,000 for the round of 16, €400,000 for the quarter-finals and €700,000 for the semi-finals. The prize money for the clubs that go all the way to the final will be €3m for the eventual winner and €2m for the runner-up at the Dublin Arena on 18 May 2011. Participating teams will also be entitled to a variable amount depending on the commercial value of their national media rights, their position in their national championship last season, and their performance during this UEFA Europa League campaign. A side could pick up, at best, €6.44m not counting the market pool share

I posted this last year and since UEFA are pissing about with the figures reposted it for this year , there wont be too much change . According to Marko Vjetrovic who is the president of Partizan Belgrad and a member of the European Club Asscociation (ECA) the prize money for the UEFA club competions will increase. UEFA Champions League 2009/2010: Bonus for domestic champion: 200.000 € * 1st qualifying round: 130.000 € * 2nd qualifying round: 130.000 € * 3rd qualifying round: 130.000 € * Playoffs: 2.100.000 € * Group stage: 7.100.000 € Group match victory: 800.000 € Group match draw: 400.000 € 1st knock out round: 3.000.000 € Quarter-finals: 3.300.000 € Semi-finals: 4.200.000 € Final: 5.500.000 € Winning the final: 3.500.000 € * = These payments were only awarded to the clubs which quould not qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage! Therefore Celtic do not get the 130,000 euros plus 2.1million euros plus the group stage money , that would be what they get should they get knocked out ( hopefully ) The remaining balance of € 341 million will be distributed according to the proportional value of each TV market, i.e. € 750,7 milion will be distributed from the group stage onwards (five times more than in the UEFA Europa League). UEFA Europa League 2009/2010: 1st qualifying round: 90.000 € 2nd qualifying round: 90.000 € 3rd qualifying round: 90.000 € Playoffs: 90.000 € Group stage: 1.000.000 € Group match victory: 140.000 € Group match draw: 70.000 € 1st knock out round: 200.000 € 2nd knock out round: 300.000 € Quarter-finals: 400.000 € Semi-finals: 700.000 € Final: 2.000.000 € Winning the final: 1.000.000 € The remaining balance of € 60 million will be distributed according to the proportional value of each TV market, i.e. € 150,36 milion will be distributed from the group stage onwards. UEFA Supercup 2009: Loser: 2.000.000 € Winner: 2.500.000 € Please note that as stated above the money quoted does not include our share of tv revenue for Scotland

Also this year is the first time the Europa league tv money at this round gets pooled and split as per the C/L , so will be higher than previously stated

some of these idiots actually think the physio who ran onto the pitch was John Clark , ex lisbon lion , who was beside Lemmon in the dug out , talk about deranged

Cant wait to see how they get away with Lennon,s apparent N****R shout at Diouf , watch his lips and the actions of their club doctor Roddie MacDonald and kit man Jim Clark at 1min30-35 sec in http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/9412403.stm

sorry to go against the grain here but we simply dont have the players available to compete with a different formation , just look at last nights bench , if we use the arguement of how far we have fallen then I am in 100% AGREEMENT

does the reds count against St Mirren as well , surely all 3 are suspended for sunday ????

Aston Villa are looking to reduce their wage bill after revealing losses of �£37.6m for the year ending 31 May 2010. Wages at the club increased by �£9m to almost �£80m and now account for 88% of Villa's �£90m turnover, which actually increased last season by �£6m. This included �£52m from television revenue while matchday turnover was �£24m and commercial income �£14.4m. The rise in turnover lifted Villa into Europe's top 20 earning clubs for the first time. The loss last season was �£9m less than the previous campaign but owner Randy Lerner provided �£12.5m during the campaign from a new share issue and a further �£12.5m in loan notes. He also funded the �£23.5m purchase of Darren Bent during the January 2011 transfer window. The American has invested more than �£200m in equity and loan notes since taking charge at Villa Park in 2006 - and the club will need to reduce its reliance on Lerner if they are to comply with Uefa's financial fair play regulations. For everyone that wants us in the premiership please note

They are bricking it big time , when he was away with Scotland for a milk cup game , Man city whisked him off for a tour of Eastlands , they are going bonkers

And we think we have problems Aston Villa are looking to reduce their wage bill after revealing losses of �£37.6m for the year ending 31 May 2010. Wages at the club increased by �£9m to almost �£80m and now account for 88% of Villa's �£90m turnover, which actually increased last season by �£6m.

He also funded the �£23.5m purchase of Darren Bent during the January 2011 transfer window. The American has invested more than �£200m in equity and loan notes since taking charge at Villa Park in 2006 - and the club will need to reduce its reliance on Lerner if they are to comply with Uefa's financial fair play regulations. The rules, which come into force in 2012-2013, mean teams in European competitions must break even over a rolling three-year period. Those clubs will only be allowed to incur losses of around �£39m over any three-season period. The losses for last season came during Martin O'Neill's final campaign in charge at the club, with the Northern Irishman resigning as manager in August. His replacement Gerard Houllier is understood to have have prioritised cutting the size of the Villa squad without reducing its quality. Bent, Kyle Walker and Michael Bradley arrived in January, while high-profile quartet John Carew, Steve Sidwell, Stephen Ireland and Curtis Davies left the club the same month. Carew and Ireland made temporary moves to Stoke and Newcastle while Sidwell and Davies were sold to Fulham and Birmingham respectively.

The Scottish Premier League have announced that next season will kick off on the earlier date of July 23. The earlier start date has been chosen to help SPL clubs get up to speed for the early rounds of European football and to reduce the number of midweek fixtures in the winter. However, in a concession to the Old Firm in particular, the SPL board have allowed clubs to opt out of one fixture early in the season to allow them to take part in lucrative pre-season tournaments. Celtic had already signed up for the Dublin Super Cup on July 30-31, which features Manchester City and Inter Milan and a League of Ireland select. .

With next seasons SPL starting early how will the whore mongers manage to fit this in , also should the worst happen and they win the league the 3rd c/l league qualifier is on the 26th/27th .....

Good luck to him , and if stories are to be believed more money for us
