Whether or not I'm totally right or wrong about the contract/loyalty thing

it's the main reason I watch La Liga with more enthusiasm. I feel like there's more honesty to it all. Banners round the stadiums seem more genuine about their love for players

You get an awful lot more players no celebrating against old teams, and equal amounts of applause back

That sort of thing

        True. ALso their other teams are decent, like Athletico winning the UEFA last year. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:32:02

    - I think La Liga has better quality throughout thatn jockland. But the gap is wide, just th (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:28:25
      - If Scottish players were good enough for La Liga, they'd be playing there (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:34:12
        
        Yep, the overall standard is streets ahead of the scotch league. (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:36:48
        
        I think what's happening in Scotland is good for their game (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:42:02
        
        It's very poorly supported in the main. Another reason why they want to join the prem. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:47:49
        
        I'd hate it (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:49:37

      - I think that's what we do right in the prem, the TV money is fairly split. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:34:02

        Oh true yeah (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 13:44:30
    - Aren't both Real Madrid and Barcelona in horrendous amounts of debt too. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:26:21
  - True, bit like the Prem, it's close at the moment but will either be Man U or Chelski. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:25:08
