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

[RegMuffin]

Didn't we have all this at the start of the year? The only supporters were the Americans including Leighton Orient?

 

[bluemoon32]

Interesting they say an announcement at 9:30pm.......right in the middle of Line of Duty.

Trying to bury it when everyone's focused on bent coppers.

H is John Henry, the cnut

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

All played to the backdrop of half empty stadiums.

It won't be though will it. If locals turn their backs on it I'm sure plenty will flock to the games.

Also look forward to City v Barca in New York and shite like that

 

[deano ou812]

Can someone educate me here? I thought this replsces the CL?
What's Neville's beef?

Because there is no qualification to this it’s a closed shop ..

 

[chesterbells]

Its a closed shop for all but 32 teams, no chance of relegation but I for one love the way football has had teams like Bournemouth and Wimbledon rise from absolute obscurity to the top table. It's fine then if you support one of the big six and all the others can fuck off yeah?

Have their own competition you mean? Yeah, in the American model I guess that’s what would happen.

 

[bluemoon32]

Which 6 teams have signed up for this?

Utd
Utd reserves
Dippers
Dippers reserves
Fcuking Spurs haha
And one other cnut, hopefully not us

Neville said relegate United Pool and Arsenal

He’s right. He said exactly the right words “it’s a power grab”. Relegate all teams involved tomorrow, strip all club’s entire historical trophy wins from them and each will be deemed to have never won a trophy.

If there are 5 clubs keep the current bottom 3 up and promote the top 2 in the Championship, if City are involved as well and add a third Championship club to that.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

They have.

DAZN

So there you go, nobody is boycotting the coverage.

There is a lot of emotion out there but the reality is that football is already a closed shop.

Leicester might be an anomoly, City might be a rags to riches tale, but the truth is Leicester was a freak and City are too big now to be ignored.

Leicester winning the league was akin to me giving a begger £20 in the street and me suddenly feeling like I've done my bit for homelessness.

The elite will let it have its anomoly, but that's just to finesse the truth that the closed shop has always existed.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Football will be finished

 

[Blue Maverick]

So how does this work do they leave the premier league or is it an alternative to the champions league?

Willie. I don’t think they give a halfpenny shit about the fans attending. Football has continued in its bubble despite Covid Without fans. The piped crowd noise has been tested. Imagine all the money that could be saved by the big boys if stadia could actually be downsized and stewarding and policing costs saved. The fans £ contribution on match day as a percentage of the gazillions available will be insignificant. All aboard the train towards Rollerball football where continents play off against each other. Meanwhile I will buy a season ticket for Macc Town and watch them in NW Counties 2, swopping ends behind the goals with the opposition at half time and taking my boots along just in case.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Disappointed to see city in the list, i don't see this competition happening anytime soon though, it might make for good viewing but the cost will be too big

it got the backing from a US investment company to bank roll it

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I honestly cannot see how this has progressed from an initial stupid idea. Forget everything else about how greedy etc the clubs are, half the clubs in this “Super League” are no fucking good.

It’s one thing if there’s a proposal that sees the best clubs in Europe wanting to compete against each other to raise more money but Arsenal, Spurs et al can’t fucking compete against the shite they are are wanting to get away from. This would be bad enough for us, and we would have a serious chance of winning it. What do Spurs fans think about finishing bottom of this league every season, all so their club can make a few extra quid?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Sadly the stadiums will still be full. Just won’t be local fans but ones from China, India, etc.

They'll be locals because games will be played across the globe.

I think I’ll join you at Macc next season.

 

[M18CTID]

Looks like we have agreed but still haven't signed

Interesting if true. Hopefully we’re sitting back because we’re reluctant to get involved but keeping our options open

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Because there is no qualification to this it’s a closed shop ..

So what does that do for euro qualification? For the two comps?

Im not so sure. As a club we hardly have a love affair with the CL and this proposed super league sounds just as bent if not worse. We will have the yank owners dictating how we can spend our money and determining how much we get, so for me and I imagine a hell of a lot of fans, we wouldn’t want anything to do with it. No way the etihad is anywhere near full for these types of games.

 

[mat]

Come on City get this all out in the open.

I would imagine local fans will get in for free but the rest of globe will buy digital season tickets to watch their team. The local fans will essentially be bit-part actors as part of the spectacle. It's football meets The Trueman Show.
