simplythebest 0 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Even with FFP we'd still struggle due to TV revenues. Short of leaving the country that's not changing either. If Green made that statement of intent I don't think many would criticise him. Well I would certainly hope not, but those very defensive of Ally may take it the wrong way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,114 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 If I remember right his company has done similar at a few clubs. Got an example of it actually working out at any of these "few clubs"? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forlanssister 3,114 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 AMMS - Enjoyable read. Could part of the problem concerning the home grown model be that the youngsters of nowadays would be more interested in the car their role models drives rather than how to shoot properly ie a question of commitment and attitude ? And here's the proof!!!! Follow rhys mccabe @rhysmccabe16 Just picked up the new car #happyaslarry pic.twitter.com/WIiPDsNZ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't know, I was mainly saying it to point out Rangers are hardly their first venture into a football club's youth system. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It's pretty depressing but I think our aim has to be to stay financially healthy and hope the shape of European football changes. I agree that getting back to the top of Scottish football is an inevitability (hopefully not a delayed one), that can comfortably be achieved on season ticket money alone. Surely at some point a European League has to come about though? (We're not the only huge club condemned to being also-rans due to being in a small league). That's when we'll need to have cash in the bank and a solid youth sytem. Maybe it's a pipe-dream but it's one I cling to. Strong talk going on here to join with Belgium and get a Benelux league going. Obviously the travelling side for players and supporters is not much different than Ajax going to Groningen. In fact many Belgium clubs will be nearer than some Dutch clubs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 887 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Strong talk going on here to join with Belgium and get a Benelux league going. Obviously the travelling side for players and supporters is not much different than Ajax going to Groningen. In fact many Belgium clubs will be nearer than some Dutch clubs. It makes absolute sense for them to do that. Same currency, short travel distances, benefits all round. If UEFA give a BENELUX league the thumbs up, then we have to plead for a UK league. Likewise the big Portuguese teams will be desperate for an Iberian league. Not sure how the EPL and La Liga clubs will feel about it though... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotter 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 There's surely enough real estate up at auchenowie to facilitate a genuine academy, emulating la Masaia at barca, Ajax and even Southampton. This is the one true change we can make. If fear the chance has passed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
