Some really damning figures regarding the amount of money raised (or not raised) by Scottish clubs on player sales
💰 This season Celtic have earned the most from player sales (which won’t surprise anyone) but Celtic B team is in third place 🤯 with Aberdeen separating Celtic first team and B team due to the £6m sale of Bojan Miovski
💰 In the last 10 seasons combined Celtic have brought in more from player sales than the rest of the league combined with £250m (Celtic) - £157m (rest of premiership combined) and Rangers FC make up more nearly half of the combined number with £72m brought in
💰 Despite being ranked as the 14th best league in Europe- and regularly being in the top ten over the last decade - we are 23rd for the amount of money brought in on transfers since 2015 - the comparisons to the kind of money players from other leagues go for compared to Scotland is scandalous
💰 For example in the last ten years there has been over £1bn spent on players from top flights in Turkey and Russian top flights, over 2bn spent on players from Belgian and Dutch top flights and over £4bn spent on players from Portugal’s top flight - while just over £400m spent on players from the Scottish Premiership - when you realise that includes players like Virgil Van Dijk, John McGinn, Jeremie Frimpong and Lewis Ferguson who have all been major successes in 3 of the top 4 leagues then at what point do we start realising how much we undervalue our own talent
💰 It’s not only top flights that earn more with English Championship (£3bn) - Serie B (£906m) - Bundesliga 2 (£902m) - Ligue 2 (650m) and Segunda (£500m) all ahead of the Premiership (£407m)

Michael Wimmer the new Motherwell manager. He was supposed to be the new Bristol rovers manager a couple of months ago but got knocked back for a work permit seemingly.
No nothing about him.

Anyone selling their house to a narcissist that models themself on the fictional Big Man needs to question themselves.

The biggest thing we get short changed on is our TV deal.
Countries like sweden have a bigger tv deal despite more than double watch our league.

And it all falls down cause we cant broadcast 3pm games.
It really is time we were allowed to show these games.
