The Super League | FA + PL: New Charter & Fines | UEFA: Settlement

[RandomJ]

And there was me foolishly thinking nothing could piss me off more than Sterling's performance yesterday.

 

[Lkzerinho]

What's the likelihood of this actually going through and happening vs PL and UEFA call there bluff?

It’s almost as if City fans have been telling the media and rival fans for years that Americans and not Arabs are the genuine existential threat to the game

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Can see how it plays out already. We “overspend” or exceed our revenues and we’re thrown out.

 

[kaz7]

Why would we agree to that ? Worst position than we are now with uefa

You become historical powers over time. After two decades of being run well and with good seasons, Leicester can be one of those clubs. Leicester are a one club city with very few big clubs around their catchment areas, West Ham easily could become another City as they have a huge support.

Arsenal are going one way... they’re poorly run. They are the epitome of a mediocre modern football club, and after a few decades as such, their elite years will be an afterthought.

That’s the good thing about football.

Would like this, but Liverpool were cack for 30 years, Tottenham have won nothing for 40 years, success is but one route to relevance.

It will never happen of course but if ever there was a time for City to make a stand, this is it. I wold love us to come out with a statement like this:

”Manchester City have been contacted about these new proposals and entered into a dialogue with other clubs. We wish to make it clear that we will never enter into an agreement on changes to the people’s game that seek to replace or reduce the meritocratic nature of football, under any circumstances.
The history of our club is that of all clubs. We are only as strong as our league’s weakest member.
Manchester City believes that each club starts each new season on an equal footing and we will never seek to reduce this fact.
The club believes success on the pitch should be as a result of application on the pitch and wishes to publicly remove itself from any changes to the game that seek to replace this ethos and replace it with one where success on the pitch is in any way linked to other factors off the pitch”

The new league represents the American takeover of elite European football, which will become a closed shop run by its founder members. It is bankrolled by US banking giant JP Morgan and is the brainchild of Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and the American owners of three leading English clubs.

It is believed Perez will hold the chairman's role in the new league's structure, with Liverpool's John W. Henry, Joel Glazer of Manchester United and Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke as vice-chairmen.

We are royally fucked then!

 

[dhruvblue]

Where is our representation? Bet jf they fuck us in Super League we will nowhere to go

 

[hertsblue]

No conflict of interests with the vice chairmen then.

 

[RandomJ]

This would have been the perfect opportunity to get some credit in the bank with UEFA and get a better seat at the table by resisting this. Our owner makes more dosh in a day than he would make with City being in this competition. Just makes no fucking sense.

 

[waspish]

Fcuk me look whose on the board they’ll be rubbing there hands at fcking us over! I’d love it we told them to shove it

 

[chesterbells]

The whole thing financed by debt. Of course.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Can see this turning into some sort of glamorous event like Formula 1 which only super rich fans can attend.

can’t wait ;-)

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Those board members, fuck my ass. There has to be a reason we’d agree to this. Literally every single one of those cunts has been out to kill us for years, why’s re we trying to snuggle up to them?

if we are, I can’t quite believe we are yet though
