Mention of Adam Hlozek today, any interest Eds? Could be homegrown if he came this summer. Good Origi replacement I think. His name hasn’t come up but I seen myself that Omer Beyaz is out of contract at Fenerbache in the summer do you think we’d be after him? Not sure exactly how signing a 17 year old out of contract foreign player goes.

{Ed002's Note - Adam Hlozek (S) has been scouted by RBL, Dortmund, Arsenal and others but has a desire to move to West Ham where Soucek, who he shares an agent with, plays. There is zero chance of Omer Beyaz joining Liverpool, he is going elsewhere.}

Beyaz has already been signed by VfB Stuttgart.

A question for ed1 and 2 if I may. With the recent failings of this breakaway league do you still think that something will change in football? Personally I think something had to give with the rising transfer fees, agents fees and players wages all becoming silly. For me that's where things need to change first and then probably fifa/ eufa and the fa need to change and become a little more translucent on their dealings. Money is ruining football and I can only see it getting worse. I'd be interested to hear your views on how to improve it and if you actually think it will improve or get worse.

Thankyou in advance
Pegleg.

Mate if it's about money no one's going to budge🤔.

I wonder if the higher end players may look to run down their contracts so that moves are still possible. Clubs are still looking for top end money that doesn't seem to be available.

Agree0 Disagree0

All running down contracts will do is move the money into agent fees and higher wages. What needs to happen first is that it should be made compulsory that a player pays their agent fees. I honestly think this solves a lot of problems as it means the player has a much stronger vested interest in who their agent is and when the agent goes in asking for 30 mill on the side the player either pays it or tells their agent to go f themselves.

It would stop at least one aspect where the clubs are literally being held to ransom in some of these deals to get them over the line.

The thing about that is that players would then ask for higher signing on fees. I think if the agent fees were capped and the player had to pay them, that might work in combination?

it was just about security of income that's all. Look at the impact dropping out of top 4 has on clubs and the time and money it takes to catch back up.

It's just about money and when money is available wages, fees and transfers go up. Not sure how it works any other way.

The number of games needs to be addressed or this will come up again in another format.

Well the thanks in advance was a waste of time!

Now super league is dead and buried, now reports of a british league being considered with rangers and celtic included didn't ever see it happening but would it be good idea.

It’s just one bad idea after another.

Agree3 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 12:47:21
dead and buried! - i can hear the americans now on the urgent teams meeting they probably called Tuesday night - guys guys guys. the fans have gone mental we'd better retract asap and we'll put out whatever apology we need to. but. let's get together and refine our plans. make sure there is bit more opportunity for some of the smaller teams to get in occassionally and then we'll push it out again when the time is right. In the meantime, can you all sort out the following at good prices to appease the mamagers and the fans - salah Lpool to Madrid, Mbappe PSG to Lpool etc etc that will get them off our backs for a while!

Actually think this would be better for everyone. Be more competitive for the English teams and would give other Scottish teams a chance of actually doing something. Swansea and Cardiff got the green light, no reason why Rangers and Celtic shouldn’t.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 15:30:33
I always wondered if Celtic and rangers could survive in the prem. but I still don’t support the idea.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 15:57:49
what is the history of Swansea and Cardiff playing in England? sorry for being lazy and I know I could google this lol. - but do other Welsh teams play in England or just those two? And if just those two, what has happened to the other welsh teams. has there been a benefit for them?

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 16:17:27
Mikey, give celtic and the rangers 5 years of premier league money and they will more than just survive mate.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - personally I’d love to see the Scottish clubs involved in a British league

22 Apr 2021 17:44:58
I'm not sure the SPFL and the SFA would see it that way.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 18:02:58
But won't it ruin the Scottish league. Without the big 2, the other teams would suffer.

Agree3 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 18:13:36
I don't want the scots anywhere near our league thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 22:33:16
Ed0666 - involved in a British league I agree with, Celtic and Rangers would probably be great in league 2 :)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - if Celtic and rangers were involved in a British premier league I’m sure there would be lots of interest in buying them thus making them stronger fiscally and they would compete and be successful.

23 Apr 2021 14:58:58
what is the benefit of celtic and rangers playing in the prem? what happens to scottish football? would the remaining clubs maybe get some money from celtic and rangers for leaving?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - it gives 2 clubs the opportunity to get into the Scottish top flight

23 Apr 2021 20:12:23
Interesting really, if Celtic and Rangers weren't in the league it would give other teams the chance to win leagues and cups.

Massive drop in money from attendances when the Old Firm come to town 3 or 4 times a season and TV interest would drop.
Less money, lower wages, lower standard? Balance that with winning competitions.

If the six clubs had left would Everton fans be pleased with the greater chance to win or annoyed that the standard would drop?

Agree1 Disagree0

Rangers and Celtic leaving would destroy Scottish football, sadly. Any money in the Scottish game is there because of the marketability of the old firm. Take them out, and it would eventually become equivalent of the Irish leagues. I wouldn't care, as I only support my home team because its my home team, but I wouldn't be surprised if teams folded without the old firm. As for the old firm, if they survived the first couple of years in the prem, you'd then be looking at a "big 8" instead of the big 6,such is the fan base and stadium size of the Glasgow teams.

is there a point in a scottish top flight if the two biggest clubs don't play there?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - of course because there will be opportunity for other Scottish clubs to be big

25 Apr 2021 09:50:14
Having grown up in Scotland losing the 2 big clubs would kill the games there, both are Glasgow clubs but are supported by fans, mainly along sectarian lines, throughout Scotland. My local team Dunfermline struggle to attract a full crowd even when playing in the top flight, but buses were leaving our small village every week to go to watch rangers and Celtic, this won’t change regardless of what league they are in, remember back to when Gretna Built a team and done well for a couple of seasons built a new stadium for 6000 fans, the town only had 6000 residents.

Agree0 Disagree0

The Old firm already can play against English clubs provided they qualify for Europe.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Apr 2021 14:56:28
Really doubt see that happening triple6.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - ok mate
