Good post John but the one thing I cant see happening is a World Cup every 2 years no matter how Greedy FIFA and UEFA are.Sorry Frank but totally disagree.
Business men in the football world hardly are working to much upon the here and now, they will be working upon the future and what it could bring in an ever changing European football market for which we would still want to be part of.
This 2 year world cup has already got legs with the main obstacle the European football market, but also a good chance it will happen, so would possibly have a huge effect upon European football and the structure.
What changes could that bring? Who knows.
Even in Scotland, I would guess the majority of our supporters would have more interest in celtic than Scotland as a whole.
So for example would we want calmac available more so for us than the national team?
In general now my first thought is about players returning safe and sound, more so than playing and doing well for there country, and I would say that exists among most bigger European teams.
Could it possibly lead to a break away from fifa? I wouldn't have a clue.
But what I would say, big changes are possibly on the way, as how can anyone explain to why we are still operating with such a large squad, bought in another 3 project players who aren't up for 1st team football with us, yet would have the ability to play for any other team within the spfl?
We are already in a position to break away, yet have a squad that will get no game time with us again this season, yet would have the ability to more than hold there own within the spfl.
Speculation for us yes, big business men like ours need to be in the know, to act according for the club in which direction it may take in the future imo.
This means there would be a European or World Final every year IMO if this was to happen it would be catastrophic for domestic football both British and European,we only need to look at our own Bhoys mate,we would have roughly 8 on international duty at the end of the season which means they would probably miss 2 or 3 weeks of pre-season this would put us on the backfoot immediately,we also have the Olympics to consider,even if we did not have any interest in the Olympics it is another obstacle to overcome..
I personally would not like to see a World Cup Final every 2 years definitely not fair on players or their clubs and definitely not fair on supporters who want to see the best on day 1 not day 21 after the season has started..
