Wigan Athletic or Glasgow Rangers
Every once a while someone comes up with the idea of allowing two Scottish side, Celtic and Rangers, to join the English Premier League. Yet there are absolutely no reasons at all why they should be even considered. No logical, no football, no common sensical reason at all.
As ideas go it is on a parallel with the 39th game for nonsense.
It's not my fault they're Scottish. In fact ask their fans and they will even dispute that saying Rangers are British and Celtic are Irish. But Geography has placed them north of Hadrian's Wall and there ain't no one who wants to relocate Glasgow south.
Typical of the Scots though, innit. They want more independance from Whitehall while at the same time asking for more money, sending us Gordon Brwon then asking for two of their clubs to join our league.
Only one 'Scottish' club should be allowed to join the English league and that is Berwick Rangers for the not alltogether unreasonable notion that they are actually in England.
If we allow the likes of Rangers and Celtic to join where would that leave the likes of Wigan Athletic? For those who never knew football existed before either 92 (Premier League) or 96 (Euro 96) Wigan were a non league side back in the 1970s who have battled their way through the divisions to the very pinnacle of the English game and now sell players to Manchester United for 16 million quid.
The few Wigan fans who attended a 3rd division game against Fulham that I did back in the 89s must be pinching themselves..
Since then Nottingham Forest have won the European Cup but who remembers them? It is Wigan in the Premier League and it is Wigan wot dun it the hard way.
And the Scots would have us tell the other Wigans to fuck off because they wanna fast track their beloved Celtic and Rangers into our top flight?
Och aye, see you teddy and away n shite ya kilt wearing fungas carrying bagpipe blowing geographical accidents.
What would these guys bring us anyway? Rangers with their Hand of Ulster and right wing links that made them such good mates of fellow knuckle dragging boneheaded simians Chelsea?
Or Celtic with their deification of hunger striking terroists who gloried in flinging shit against the walls of their cells and calling it political protest? Whose fans would happily support the murder of women and children while Americans, seduced by the romantic songs of the Dubliners would happily pass round the cap for the boyos long before they decided terroists were evil, not romantic.
If they wanna move then let them join the Latvian Super League. We don't need them down south.

The bottom line is that Celtic and Rangers coming South just makes sense economically!
But not initally for the Premier League but for the Championship.
CCC is dying the same slow death that the SPL is currently suffering. Something needs to change or in the very near future you will end up with the Premier League and nothing else.
Some might like that and in reality if the Championship teamss decide to break awwayfrom the Football league, set up their own compettition inviting Celtic and Rangers to join; it is inevtitable that some Football League clubs will go to the wall.
That unfortunately is aalmost certainly the price to pay forr the survival of at least 20 clubs.
However unpalatable the thought of Scottish teams playing in England or the likes of Darlington and Grimsby going out of business sounds; it just will happen
