Presumptuous Old Firm gets faced by pretentious English Prem
By: Cham | November 12th, 2009The news is clear on this one. The Guardian and The Times Online are giving the business to Celtic and Rangers upon the outright rejection of a Old Firm inclusion into the English Football League. From the Daily Record: “The clubs welcomed the additional input into an ongoing process, however, they were of the opinion that bringing Celtic and Rangers into any form of Premier League set-up was not desirable or viable… We have made a clear and unequivocal statement. No means no – Celtic and Rangers are not coming in.” Oof, mikey.
Even effin’ Forbes is in on the action:
“One of Gartside’s more radicial proposals was flatly rejected. He wants the new clubs to include Celtic and Rangers, two top Scottish clubs that now play in the Scottish Premier League… The big boys don’t want further competition for the already limited number of places available to EPL clubs in the lucrative UEFA Champions League competition.”
This all off the heals of the relatively warm reception English club managers Harry Redknapp and David Moyes had to the inclusion idea.
So, no jailbreak tonight for the Teddies and the Bhoys. Oh well…
Here’s Thin Lizzy anyway.

No surprise that it was rejected, there is no benefit to the English teams. They don’t need the competition for Euro spots and they don’t want the travelling. Th old firm would need to have two new billionaire buyers to compete in the league anyway, with their current owners they couldn’t come close to competing as neither team has the players or the funds to truly compete. Yes we would get more money if we moved down south but there are a lot of teams in the league that already get huge sums of cash and they are still bottom 10 clubs
