What is the point in having 2 struggling french teams?
Why not just have one succesful one?
Two french teams in the bottom 5 of SL is only going to serve to make them look sub-standard to the 'cappers, and there is a glut of people wanting not just Catalans but Celtic and Toulouse to fail.
I just dont get the running before walking.
I would agree there, we shall find out in due time if that is the case, I personally dont think their application will be one of the strongest, you obviously do.
again, this is just your opinion, my opinion is that if there were French players who want the big time its there for them already
6-10? there gonna need at least 15 French players, even if those players are only to make up the squad.
and BTW the "70" players figure you have plucked out of the air will need to be introduced over the next 3 years, roughly about 30 players per year spread over 12-14 clubs, dosent seem too much of a problem. Toulouse need to find an entire squad within the next 8 months.
read cliff spracklens post here and tell me you dont get excited about the teams potential :

Toulose will have one of the strongest bids around ie it will make the top 14 so if its done properly i dont see how they miss out.
already they will have a budget of 4.8 million euros with councils and business behind them.
and who the heck says Les Cats are struggling, either off or on the field? good results in SL, and great crowds.
