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

Paris will get ref on their side now vs City. Well done idiots.

Do these clubs not realise someone has to finish last? They can’t all finish top 3/4.

How is having a team that finishes bottom of the league good for your brand?

Because they won’t get relegated and can just stay mediocre next season and the season after and still earn $$$$$

“We thank those clubs in other countries, especially the French and German clubs, who have refused to sign up to this.”

Bayern and PSG have been smart. The preferential treatment they’ll get now will surpass anything we’ve seen so far.

The German clubs are owned by the fans - not by American enterprises that have a different interest into the sports. They only want the clubs to survive and have success - not to make bucks with it. The English owners of old were the same - but the newer ones view football as the possibility to earn big because of the popularity.

Am I actually supporting Bayern PSG and UEFA?

God it must be a bad idea

 

[ancoats]

Sadly we have no option but join , it’s all about money .

we do ? we can stand strong and back the FA and let them fuck off. then we could have a proper league based on fairness to everybody no pressure on the officials just good old football and not just money

we could even bring in celtic ranger and a couple more teams and would be a great league and not panto

 

[Nellies left peg]

If this goes ahead football can go and fuck itself and I'll not waste another penny on it. Fuck the fan they're all money grabbing shit houses and don't deserve us

 

[Gumzy97]

I see PSG and Bayern are against the idea.

Too comfortable in their own respective national systems?

Half of Bayerns board are for the idea the other half are against it.

Stuff like this makes you realise that to us fans, its all about supporting the beautiful game but to some owners, including our own it appears, football is just a business with vast amounits of money to be made.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Bayern Munchen made promise to their fans that they will never support any Super League.

This is the reason

No, the reason is because Germany and now Paris have a stranglehold on Uefa.
Giving any sort of altruistic credit is naive.

I hope Samuel is wrong about City, doesnt make much sence to get involved in this when they have tried to screw us over time after time.

Well deserved.

But Europe is the only place to play football at the top level. Latin American leagues might not have a wage cap, or a limit to the wages:turnover ratio, but there is (for now) nowhere near enough money in their league system to remotely compete with Europe. Not sure about the MLS though, to be fair. Anyway what I mean is clearly this super league isn't proposing a literal wage cap, but a limit to spending will have a similar effect.

But China has money -- look what they've paid some players. Or, rather -- they HAD money. The sport/clubs/stadiums are well devloped in other parts of the world and those parts have growith demographics vs Europe. So it may not be a threat today it COULD be -- less likely with American sports.

Anyway you can't have a wage cap without a wage floor (which an organized players union demands in the US) and it's hard to have a cap or a floor with a pyramid structure.

So have UEFA though.

I should very much hope and I can't believe I'm writing this, that if we have joined this they tell us to go and fuck ourselves and ban us.

 

[vincent]

I’m done if City are part of this.

True but we have won as CAS proved ;)

 

[carlosthejackal]

PSG disagree, and they're in the same situation as us.

I thought they’d not been invited

The thing is, if someone asked you could you come up with a worse bunch of cunts to run a football competition than UEFA you couldn't. But then along comes this suggestion and you suddenly think fucking hell I hadn't thought of that.

no offence. but if you thought we where bought as an act of kindness or due to the romance of the game and not with a business plan in mind then you are incredibly naive

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

I can't believe any English club would ever quit the PL which is much more lucrative than any European competition. Nor would the PL throw out the big clubs. This is a fight between the US owners and UEFA and City are stuck in the middle.

Precisely right -- we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
