Whenm we talk about Scotland now being poor seconds, what other country with our population could have such a record

Yeah it would be nice to see it level out a bit. Would you welcome such an owner to Parkhead?

I am unsure. It would be great to sign some of these players and compete in Europe. But, what if they just up sticks?

one part of me wouldn't but if we were financially safe after that owner leaves then i would. Be interesting to see what happens when the first sugar daddy pulls out to see how affected these clubs get

I would be unsure myself, I would be over the moon if it were someone in the Abramovich mould, in that he is a 'football man' - although I would like someone less controlling than him if it were to happen.

The Manchester City owner, someone of his mould, he is also completely developing the infrastructure as well as heavily investing in the playing staff. But you would have to examine them thoroughly before allowing them to take over: you do not want to be with an owner like Vladimir Romanov.

With all that club information, I still don't think it comes any where near Denmark lifting the European Championship in '92.

Their population can't be much more than a mil or two. Can't be bothered checking wiki!!
