Guest Stevie Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 A very hypothetical question granted, but I was debating this in the pub last night. Now obviously we don't have a big squad, but our first eleven have some very good players. When you look through Celtic and Rangers squads I honestly believe we're not just better but absolutely streets better than both. Celtic have one class player Scott Brown, he'd get in our side, but Rangers have no one at all, not one player who you'd say is quality. I think if in some paralell universe we played in Scottish football, we'd have a very good chance of winning the title most years. We'd have about the same turnover as we'd have this season plus European money, we all accept we're shite, but really we are better than both of them right now. One thing you can say the OF plus Newcastle are in their worst moment for the last decade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentAxeman 194 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 close 3rd, but only for the 1st season and only because rangers and celtics players know the league. after the initial season tho, i would agree that we would have an excellent chance of winning it.

Guest alex Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Not if Ashley was running the show. Btw, would I be right in thinking the TV money plus parachute payments is a canny bit more than SPL tv money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 This is going to sound dreadful, but that shitty tinpot european trophy we won (the crappy plaque that Parker had to hold up and get his coupon taken with) > SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31470 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Even the thought of being in the SPL is thoroughly depressing. I'd much rather be where we are now than have be favourites to win the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko 0 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 at this moment in time we wouldnt, close 3rd but as time went on we'd have a good chance I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walliver 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Whoever voted 4th or lower have a word with yourself. No matter how bad we are, there's no way there are three or more teams better than us in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 You'd win it, or perhaps come 2nd to Celtic. I am looking at it purely on the basis of the squads, and the pedestrian Rangers will get dicked by you, as will all the non OF teams. For fucks sake Danny Cadimateri is a decent striker up there, and he was pretty shit for Bradford in the 3rd division. Blackburn would easily win it if we were in the SPL.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 4062 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Win by streets. Rangers have Kyle Lafferty in their team who is the worst player I have ever seen on a football pitch and yet are still pushing for the title. Celtic have Gary Caldwell as their best defender. We would seriously walk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 For fucks sake Danny Cadimateri is a decent striker up there No way! I watched him for Huddersfield a couple of years back and he was terrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 It would require that we learnt to murder the lower teams but I could see a top 2 finish........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) For fucks sake Danny Cadimateri is a decent striker up there No way! I watched him for Huddersfield a couple of years back and he was terrible! Exactly . I had checked and the Bradford reject is currently one of the season's top scorers. The SPL is a place for any washed up Coca Cola reject that wants a stab at Europe. Edited November 23, 2009 by Billy Castell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
