Any Football league not related to Premier league can be discussed here.

My predictions:

Serie A - Juventus
Bundesliga - Bayern Munich
La liga - Real Madrid
Ligue 1 - PSG

Can't see Dortmund winning a third on the bounce either.

Loving the Rangers situation atm. Im from a family of Irish catholics so i naturally hate the bastards.

I think Juve's success depends on which striker they buy over the summer. Despite going undefeated and playing some great football, it was essentially the champions league distraction that cost Milan the title and with Juve now in Europe they'll find it much harder to compete for both prizes without a natural goalscorer.

Yeah but Milan are not doing anything in the transfer season atm. Juventus already bought Asamoah and Isla if i am not wrong. Juventus were linked with top strikers like Cavani, Higuain, etc. surely they will buy one. Unless Milan buy top quality players, I see juventus winning the league next season. It will be a two horse race though. Can´t see anyone challenging them. The race for the 3rd spot will be interesting though. Roma, Udinese, Lazio, Napoli and Inter will all be trying to get that spot.

PSG are linked with so many top players and they bought Lavezzi if i am not wrong, I dont think anyone cant stop them from winning the league this time. La liga will be a two horse as usual. I think Real will win it because they are more consistent than Barcelona. Plus Barcelona has a new manager so it could be difficult for them to adapt to a different style of play unless this coach plays the same style as Pep. Bundesliga is the most unpredictable but I think Bayern will win it. I cant see Dortmund winning three in a row.

Breaking News:

Harry Kewell has rejected a offer from Melbourne Victory to stay at the club.

In other news Marcos Flores was released from his Chinese club and this week he said that he would love to return to Adelaide united. Adelaide united owners say that there just isn't enough money to purchase him. Flores has also stated that he has received interest from other A-League clubs. FFS United owners do anything you possibly can to bring Marcos back. Sell Vidosic, he has been useless for us so far.

Another thing,

Does anybody actually care about the eredevisie anymore ?

I haven't been interested in it since PSV had that great side 6-7 years ago, the one that frequently got into the CL knockout stages.

Its tragic seeing the state of feyenoord these days.

FoxSports said:
Rangers have been dramatically kicked out of next season's Scottish Premier League after rival clubs voted overwhelmingly to exclude the ailing Glasgow giants.

The soon-to-be-liquidated Ibrox club applied to rejoin the league after reforming as a new company (newco) but their request was turned down following a vote of the other clubs that make up the Scottish top-flight.

"At today's General Meeting, SPL clubs today voted overwhelmingly to reject the application from Rangers newco to join the SPL," an SPL statement said.

The statement came after more than five hours of talks at Hampden as Rangers' new management clung on to the hope of staving off exclusion.

It caps a humiliating fall from grace for the most successful club in Scottish football history, who were plunged into crisis earlier this year after entering administration following a tax dispute.

It was not immediately clear where Rangers' new incarnation will begin life next season. One option under consideration is to start in the First Division, the league below the SPL.

Rangers chief executive Charles Green reacted to Wednesday's snub by confirming that Rangers would apply to join the Scottish Football League (SFL).

"We are deeply disappointed that our application to rejoin the SPL has been rejected overwhelmingly by the member clubs," Green said in a statement.

"We will now proceed as we had planned from late June to apply for membership of the SFL.

"It is entirely a matter for them whether our application will be accepted or rejected and we will make no representation to any member club prior to that application being considered.

"If our application were to be accepted, Rangers will play in whichever division the SFL sees fit and we will move forward from there."

The SPL, SFL and Scottish Football Association (SFA) are all mulling the First Division option, which would also include significant league reform and £1 million ($A1.5 million) payment for the second tier's television rights.

Safeguarding the multimillion-dollar commercial deals on which all of Scotland's professional clubs rely so heavily is central to the issue, with a new TV deal worth £80 million over five seasons reputedly dependent on the screening of four Rangers v Celtic Old Firm derbies a season.

Broadcasters are said to be prepared to go no more than one year without these showcase matches, meaning Rangers may end up in the First Division.

But clubs in the lower leagues are already speaking out against the prospect of Rangers going straight into the First Division, despite being told by the SFL that their own existence would be at risk if Rangers are forced to start in the Third Division.

The view of many lower league clubs is that Rangers should be forced to start from the bottom of the league ladder, as has happened in the past when clubs have been punished for financial mismanagement.

Weary Rangers fans meanwhile have expressed a preference for starting from scratch in the Third Division.

A poll of season-ticket holders conducted by the Rangers Fans Fighting Fund voted 75 per cent in favour of dropping down to the bottom tier.
Yikes.
