Could rangers become anymore Celtic?

Two flaps of the same scabby vagina or what ever the saying is.

[Big Physical Acey]

Sounds like those mouthbreathers want Vlad-style rants about monkeys on the official Rangers website every other day. :GLORIOUS:

Foughts?

[Zizou]

Decent idea that.

[Christian Benorchgrevink]

That could work really well if implemented correctly meaning it'll probably end up a disaster

[Walter Sobchak]

It would have to be done through an SFA academy, like the Clairefontaine one in France, where the kids got training and schooling at the same time, up to the draft stage, and clubs would be out of the picture until say age 18? You would also end up with kids dropping out to sign for a club outwith scotland etc so could have its difficulties.

[Zizou]

Clubs would have to have the final say on whether or not players go to certain clubs, but if it gets more young players first team football, and benefits lower league clubs, then it should be a positive move.

The 'development' league is a waste of time, lets be honest.

I'm struggling to see a way that the SFA wont make a complete james of it. Nap the OF will be able to somehow manipulate things in their favour. 

Will it have a detrimental effect on teams with good youth systems like Hearts, Hamilton etc?

[I.J]

Yet another gimmick to mask the complete inability to do simple things well.

That's what i was thinking, I'm all for change but only if it's implemented correctly and fairly, unfortunately in Scotland if it doesn't suit the old firm it won't happen and that's not me being bitter it's just the way it is, everything evolves around them.

Aye. Let's not do the basics right, but we'll have a league split, a draft system and face recognition software so we can ban wee bairns from throwing sparklers at each other.

[Sterling Archer]

It'll never work here. The draft works so well because of the relatively closed market the NFL presents.

It's a fucking abysmal idea

Why's it abysmal?
