    The FA have been repetitive with not letting us in. They have admitted it benefits us greatly. They don't was us jeopardizing their "top 4".

    I've always thought it'd be awesome. However we should be helping to improve our league too by pushing for expansion, etc.
    The whole moving to the English league thing would likely be complex and depend on the ins and outs.
    I think we should just revert to the way it was before the SFA was created, a British League. :50:

    The top 4 have been thoroughly jeperodised without our help.
    Any way I am going to stop posting in this cause it won't happen.

    Why wouldn't they try a British Cup first?

    Get rid of the League cups and have a British Cup.....obviously the smaller leagues knock each other out and the SPFL and Premiership enter at a later date.

    No it hasn't. The streams of revenue the top 4 get compared to the rest of the league (this isn't including the TV deal) is a difference. With us having a huge support we have the logistics at our disposal to ascend into the top 4.

    If Celtic did, it would only be fair to start in the bottom tier, or else its unfair to the other English clubs for Celtic to be parachuted into the top league ahead of them.

    Who are "their top 4"?

    Currently it is Leicester, Arsenal, Spurs & Man City.

    Liverpool, Chelesa, Man Utd aren't in it and Southampton & West Ham are extremely close to it.
