It appears to me to be a breakaways league and I would certainly not watch such shit if this was the case, I don't even like the champions league.

Of course it impacts domestic football.

seems what we all thought could happen in a alternative world is playing out

This horrible time in a pandemic era has probably highlighted to these owners that they can function with empty stadiums by making more revenue through subscription based services - yes that tolls the bell for the likes of sky and bt as well

I remember posting a long time back that a weird scenario would be not having fans in stadiums but each seat would be a screen with the subscriber looking on watching the game - sounds like an episode from black mirror

Seems that 9:30pm will be telling - even if the clubs back track on this, the damage is done.

I just hope to god that all the governing bodies (PL and UEFA especially wake the fuck up and take back control of the game we all grew up loving)

Competitioon should be just that, and not one club should have protection rights - UEFA should refporm the CL but scrap the coefficient ranking system, and make every draw one where any team can be drawn against whoever - no pot 1,2,3,4

Back to bloody basics

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.

I’ll be getting a season ticket for another north west definitely. Oldham Athletic maybe? Owner makes Peter Swales look good.
 
Right now, our club should focus on wrapping up the title, wining the final at Wembley, preparing for PSG and potential CL final, getting KdB fit, finalizing plans for potential next season signings. And after all this they might consider how to politely say fucking no. But I really hope it ends ups with Spanish and Italian clubs plus those assholes from north London playing it. PL should give big six or whatever an ultimatum, play PL + CL, or play these 20 games in the super league. I am aware that Tiki and Pep will never get it that any FA cup final in front of 80+ K supporters at Wembley is much bigger game for me than any CL final. Full fucking stop!

If this had happened in 2007 the year before City’s takeover and it didnt include us what would you have thunk?

What about West Ham this season (I know not finalised yet), what about Everton or Newcastle getting invested in and challenging? Why should a mediocre mid table outfit Arsenal get to be involved in this every year?

To be fair the UEFA FFP rules have already destroyed the aspirations of clubs like Everton, West Ham, and Newcastle to develop properly. The current status quo is also totally corrupt. City were the last club to leapfrog into the elite group. It will never be allowed to happen again.

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.

No way will they let anyone in for free! They’ll be charging astronomical prices. Have you seen the ticket prices for their shit American sports that take three times as long as they should because of all the ad breaks?

They will want fans to spend as much on food and merch as possible.

Whilst an emotive subject, that's just bollocks, with the greatest respect.

You want City relegated and our trophies scrubbed from history?

I'm a City supporter first and football second.

I've not come across too many rivals fans who have a good word to say about my club, so I won't be rushing to self flaggilate myself for the good of football.

I want what is good for my football club and nothing else.

That was before we had money and now we have it.

I trust Khaldoon to do right by our club, they haven't let us down yet.

I think you’ll find yourself in the minority here TH. City is only City because of its history in english football.
Transplant it into a closed shop euro league and its not the same club anymore
 
Strange how City are on some lists and not others.

Am I clutching at straws hoping our PR dept has had something to do with that?

Nail on the head. As much as I would love city to be the beacon of light on this shit. We have been fucked over and snipped at from the takeover. Fuck the rest.

Thats how i feel about it. The country used to stop for the Cup Final, it never did for the European Cup. 1st Div and FA Cup were always the biggest draw when i was a kid.
