What about the Turkish league?


You clearly don't understand how it works.
I don’t. What I’m commenting on is that fact that the SPL is considered the 9th strongest league in the world when it clearly isn’t.

Sweet suffering fuck! What am I reading here, it the European club co-efficients based on teams performances in Europe, fuck me.
I know the nuances of European football aren't something we need to worry about too much as Coventry supporters but fucking hell!

Nor do you, which I've got to say, surprises me.
No I get it, I just think it's a poor way of ranking a league... as I say Rangers going on that run to the final is doing all the lifting.

Not really, they need some guide to structuring the competitions and seeding teams.
Surely, as they're European competitions performances in Europe would be what you use?

It also helps smaller teams from smaller nations get a chance if someone from their league punches above their weight for a season or two, surely that's a good thing?

There obviously needs to be some structure, but for the common football fan it is clear that the overall quality of the league does not justify a position of 9th.

Going on the criteria of the model I can see why they are there though.

Tbf this is the 22/23 one, so more up to date... has Scotland in 28th
Gonna go the other way and say that's a bit harsh.

I don’t think I could name a team from Liechtenstein. Maybe that’s because I’m not well versed in European football…

Let me introduce you to the concept of performance based ratings......

Got to admire your bravado, if I'd asked why the MLS wasn't included in the UEFA coefficient I'd probably have just slunk away and hope no one noticed.
Hahaha very true. If it was worldwide rankings it would be in the top 10 for sure. Certainly better quality than SPL

Tbf I hadn't noticed it was UEFA when Evo first posted it.

Why, and indeed how, would you create a worldwide coefficient when the leagues from different continents don't compete against each other, (except for the world club cub or whatever the Champions league v Copa Libertadores game is called).

There is one already apparently.

To solve arguments over which leagues are better of course.

Just realised @Tommo1993 thought that post was @TomRad85 hence the response.
Either way, it was tongue in cheek, I don't want either of you to go to lichtenstein, unless you want to, but I'm not paying, Internet or no Internet.

It’s ok, I’m used to a blindsided back hander. I was amused to see Liechtenstein on that list.

I shan’t go any further, I haven’t followed this coefficient thing at all.

If Liechtenstein is the 13th best ranked league then the Championship would have to be close to the Top 10.
