Super_Ally 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 When this was first suggested as a possibility I thought it would be good for Scottish football. But will it? Is the country's contribution to our co-efficient not calculated by all co-efficient points earned by the teams from that country, divided by the number of teams from that country competing in Europe. So if Well do what most teams do and add about 1 point to that co-efficient and we get anywhere from 8 to say 17. (Not unreasonable). The fact that Motherwell are in Europe may very well bring down the country contribution to our sides co-efficients for seeding. Hope that makes sense, I think it will to anyone who has been on Bert Kassie's site before. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 The bigger question is........ Will McGhee fancy a bash at the Europa league with Motherwell or Celtic ? :devil: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,508 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 S_A, I think you are correct. Bad news for Scottish football, but our co-efficient is going to get worse over the next few years anyway, I believe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 745 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I think its good to see 6 Scottish clubs in europe but i dont agree with how this works. Its almost like hand picking a team from the bottom half of the SPL. The place should go to the highest team in the league who havent qualified for Europe. You should only qualify for europe on some sort of merit on performances not due to having the least players booked. But in that case it would put Levein in Europe so no.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
