Welsh Independence

[Darran]

Neither Monaco or Leichtenstein have domestic leagues.

If Wales were independent, there's not a chance on Earth Swansea would be allowed to remain in the English system.

Of course we would stay in the English League

You might be right but you or nobody else knows if you really are.

You hope.

There's little chance that the FA would allow a foreign team to remain within its structure, especially a foreign team from a country with its own league and national side. That's without factoring in the pressure that would come from the Welsh authorities to join their system and add credibility to it. After all, it wouldn't be the first time that clubs in the English system were penalised for deciding that the LoW was a waste of their time would it?

It took years to earn the right to carry on as they were before, and that's with a Wales inside the UK.

Guess we shall see if Berwick Rangers get thrown out of the Scottish league when they go independent.

There are plenty of teams around the world who do not play in the league of their own country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_association_football_clubs_playing_in_the_league_of_another_country

Load of bullshit, in football terms we are clearly already an independent nation, with a national team and a national League. National teams at all levels and representative presence in the European competitions. Are people suggesting that if Catalonia got independence they wouldn't play in the Spanish league .
