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

The journalist did say City agreed in principle? might be hope still yet

With no relegation or promotion......what is the point of that

Dunno, ask any NFL fans I guess.
I guess If you support a team in it, there’s quite a lot of point

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I can’t resist commenting that I am no expert but I understand the NFL is actually a very fair league, competitively.

Only in terms of a salary cap and a draft pick. What it’s also got is the ability to move franchises around the country so, in the future, city could become the Newquay Newboys or the Telford Titans.......

The americanisation of football is about to be complete. Just call it the World series an be done with it.

No suprise that the 3 American owners are driving this.

Just wait until they start moving "franchises" next.

Or even the MK Dons ;-)

I’ll be very disappointed with Soriano if we agree to this

Hold fire and stop flapping lads.

I still think this is a tactic to stop the new champs league format being announced tomorrow.

Interesting observation. It could be a bargaining gambit to try and gain influence over the structure of the new CL proposal.

 

[scousemanc]

I can't support any competition where participation is by invitation rather than qualification. It's as simple as that.

Or basketball ice hockey and baseball.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Bad juju this lads

 

[dublinblue12]

Bizarre the treat to ban clubs from the competition they are intent on leaving

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We could gain some huge brownie points back by coming out in support of PL, FA and UEFA competitions by rejecting this proposal though. That's what is so staggering to me. We have an open net here.

It's too late. A bit like Liverpool backtracking after a certain club leaked they were furloughing staff after revealing record turnover...

[paulchapo]

Yes

No surprise there.

 

[Phil1]

Why is it whenever anything shite happens the Americans have their fucking grubby little hands all over it.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

City would go up hugely in neutral fans views if they came out and backed uefa and distanced themselves from this,do people actually think these bunch of cnuts would be missed in terms of sponsorship revenue and viewing figures in the champions league,but without these shithouses there is plenty of other teams to take their place in the champions league fuck this off now City ..

To be fair though (and it's only seeing it in black and white in your post that it has struck me), even if we weren't aligned on the breakaway on what planet are we going to publicly support UEFA given how many times our reputation has been dragged through the mud?

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Funny how this comes out the day Juventus lose to Atalanta, to be hanging on to 4th and in danger of not qualifying for next season.
Problem city have got is that UEFA have tried to shaft them for years and many of the clubs behind it, are the ones pushing for this, so they’re between a rock and a hard place..

The finals not in New York by any chance

The American owner greed, Perez and Agnelli are in the driver seat of that. Others just do not want to loose out on this I guess - and do not have the fan policies like the German clubs have. Bayern and the German clubs are fan owned - the pressure of the German fans is bigger than the greed. Paris has the big connections to FIFA and UEFA - the World Cup in mind.

 

[domalino]

Players would be banned from UEFA and FIFA competitions.

I think that would partially die in court. There's been cases before CAS where banning someone from all international competition was called restriction of trade.

So I would expect they'd be in international games within a year.

The big thing is the league competitions.
