I'd be all for that.
They could build a shared stadium in Carlisle

**** Celtic and Rangers, they want to join some British super league where they get their ***** handed to them every week? See ya, we'll take the league title.
Imagine a revamped Premiership, 16 teams, keep the split and the relegation play-offs, with us, Hearts and Aberdeen slugging it out for the league, every so often Motherwell or St Johnston getting in on the act, much better competition, much better share of the prize pot and an almost total removal of sectarianism in one move.
They might even let us drink flat beer from a plastic cup at half time.

id bet there was a fair amount of hand rubbing going on along the M8 early in the week at the prospect of the EPL being 6 teams short no doubt about it, those dreams are now in tatters days later its a last ditch PR stunt IMO
a British cup though I think that could have legs, scrap both league cups and compete cross border, rejig the scottish cup a little put the prem teams in earlier to play a couple rounds away from home like pokal in germany

The top clubs in England would not be interested.
European Comps take up enough dates during the season.
They mostly dont play full strength teams in their League Cup as it is.
Celtic and Sevco are not needed in England.
Also too many downsides to them being in an English set up.
Sevco fans in particular would eventually do what they have done in the past.
Wreck city centres and terrorise folk.
Ask Manchester citizens and older Geordies
Newcastle city centre and the area around St James Park were wrecked after a Fairs Cup tie old rAngers lost many years ago .
I was in Newcastle the week after it and geordie friend said the city was like a war zone the day of the game.
Manchester suffered the same years later.
As have other English cities in the past.
Total mayhem, particularly if they lose.
No, England dont want them ..or need them.Last edited by Mick O'Rourke; 22-04-2021 at 10:14 AM.

They might not want them or need them, but, as with the ESL, money talks, they would take a massive audience with them, money in the bank.

Am nearly 70 now
Been reading this "Old Firm" to join an English setup for decades.
Oldcos last visit to Manchester firmly shut that door.
They dont want any more hordes invasions.
They likely pray in some cities not to be drawn against them in existing Euro competitions.
You plucked a "story" with no substance or sources.
The Sun does this"story" every couple of years.

I dont see the good citizens of Manchester, Birmingham and the like being too keen on a follow up visit from cowardly sevconian hordes either.
The EPL clubs don't need anything the uglies bring and as has been pointed out before theres nothing in this for existing members who might lose their place to them.

Never happening. The bigot twins are toxic and the English clubs, FA, League and polis don't want them anywhere near. Sadly we will need to put up with them

Don't see it. I remember finding an old copy of that rag clearing out someone's house. Must've been from the late 90s. The back page confirmed Andy Cole would be joining Celtic "within the next week." Think this one can be added to that.

Given the behavour of Celtic and Rangers fans when they are "on tour" I can't imagine this having any support south of the border.

So having three Welsh teams in the EFL pyramid doesn't count as having a 'British' league, but adding two Scottish teams would make it so? Weird.

Tony Blair had the same thought years ago.

That cockwomble slaver Jamie O'Hara was on Talksport this morning saying how the ugly sisters should just get propelled straight into the EPL whereas Alan Brazil said a move like this would kill scottish football.
McCoist didn't really say too much - probably because he knows its a complete non-starter.

Tempting as it is to say ‘good, don’t let the door hit you in the way out’, the reality is that Hibs could not survive in our current form if we stayed behind in what’s left of the SPFL. We would need to go as well. We simply could not afford the level of infrastructure we have on the reduced income.
Govt have a strong hand now and I can see pressure being applied by the Tories to make this happen in order to ‘save’ the union.
My preference is for an Atlantic league over joining the English league.
One thing is for sure, when Celtic pulled out of recent Atlantic league talks, it wasn’t because the had suddenly decided their future lay with the SPFL.

Better access to European competition, at least one champions league spot for the winner and 2/3 other places for the other 2 competitions.
No doubt the Sky money is brought in by Celtic and Rangers, but the way media is consumed is different now. There are multiple platforms sharing the pie, not just one giant provider hoovering up the coverage available and having a monopoly on games. It's about how the game is marketed: right now its "HERES THE OLD FIRM + some other teams too sometimes", but there are alternatives to that.

So then we get to act like the Old Firm by dominating the league and being the big boys.
Motherwell and St J going to challenge us? Aye that’ll be right.
Winning a league without the Old Firm in it would be as hollow a victory as you could get.
Other than wins against Hearts, they’re my favourite games.
No way do I want to play in a league without them. We’d be as well going part time and being a Championship club if you just want to avoid playing the OF.

Serious Question. Where would they go when they are relegated? Would they then drop into the English second tier? Once they have gone we should not be expected to take them back.

I can see why both the teams would want to join the English set up. As much as I hate the pair they are huge clubs with huge fanbases and with access to the 00s of millions awarded down there they would have the opportunity to be extremely successful.
That being said teams similar size to Hibs and arguably smaller have helf their own in the EPL in recent years, Burnley and Bournemouth for example. On the flip side there have been a few sleeping giants in the championship recently
