100,000...the numbers were grossly over exaggerated.

I'm undecided about it. The idea of Celtic and Rangers playing in the English Premier is appealing, but they would both have to start at the bottom and work their way up.
As for the policing I don't see a problem with United v. Celtic.
Celtic fans have been visiting Old Trafford for decades and without any violence.
In fact the relationship between the two sets of fans is cordial to say the least.
Don't even ask about the reception Rangers would get the next time they visit Manchester.

If it was up to me...I'd say no. Not because of the potential for trouble, but simply because it would be unfair to the clubs who have been building for years to break into the top places.
Clubs with less revenue than Celtic and Rangers. Clubs like, Villa, Spurs, Everton etc. There inclusion would have the potential to ruin these clubs.
Celtic and Rangers would suffer too because if they think they'll break into the top 4 and qualify for Europe...think again!
