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

[waspish]

The reality is this can only work if the fans back it. If fans don’t subscribe or attend games it dies. Let’s see how honorable we all are before we criticise the clubs!

they don’t need fans all they need is tv companies paying billions

 

[andyhinch]

So what happens to the rest of the PL teams? No more Merseyside Derbies?

You’ll still have Tranmere. ;-)

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.

only in the fact that the big city clubs have more fans and in turn generate more money which generally equate to better players and better results so its always been a sort of a closed shop, but crucially however small there is always the opportunity, the dream, the chance with a fair wind a bit of luck with a well run club to climb the open pyramid
that has to be remain, its the bedrock of the game we love

I’m not convinced we’re part of the official cartel, we may be looking on carefully and make a decision without getting involved in the mess.

 

[lust overlord]

It’s useless mate. It’s a game of chess and a lot of posters today aren’t seeing that.

And what are playing games of brinkmanship and doing snide,greedy deals achieving for the fans?

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Any “super league” with Arsenal and those AFTV muppets in it has no credibility whatsoever

 

[Northblue]

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

I generally agree with this but that’s what baffles me the most if we are involved. How can Khaldoon think getting into bed with (and being dictated by) this lot -

Chairman: Florentino Perez [Real Madrid]
Vice-Chairman: Stan Kroenke [Arsenal]
Vice-Chairman: Andrea Agnelli [Juventus]
Vice-Chairman: John W. Henry [Liverpool]
Vice-Chairman: Joel Glazer [Manchester United]

Be anything but bad news?

 

[give it to gordon]

i would guess its not just alot of football fans angry about this but players as well, not being able to play for their countries or in the premier league, or champions league after this season

They would regulate City to death. This is a trap.

 

[kaz7]

The teams are not quitting the PL

The powers that be have threatened to chuck those signed up , out of the prem

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Will there be an announcement tonight regarding this?

 

[Utter bobbins]

UEFA have already said that WILL happen in their statement.

What UEFA say and what they do can be lost in translation

Good.

 

[paulchapo]

Not with nobody paying to watch it, how do they recoup their money?? Plus we've seen the absolute soulless spectacle football without fan's is.

 

[Utter bobbins]

Where's your confidence stem from?

UEFA are bottle merchants and bent as fuck

 

[christened at st marks]

People realise this is just a replacement for champions league? Not domestic football? Also all the drama about football been finished and never watching again is ridiculous the same people saying that will still watch every single game

Bullshit I will no way you can stick it, if City are part of this I'm finished with them as well

 

[Cobwebcat]

What UEFA say and what they do can be lost in translation

That’s true but it’s all bodies and governments piling in It’s not just UEFA is it.

Huge vote winner opposing this.

 

[Metal Biker]

UEFA will look very silly by threatening clubs with expulsion and then not following through with it.

 

[Out on blue 6]

The 12 people who have voted yes to this must be the same 12 who voted for Sterling,Mendy,Torres and Steffen for yesterday's man of the match

 

[Blue Theatre]

Next year I will be mainly supporting.....Elche : (

Oh yes - I like Elche - visited a couple of times and it's a picturesque place.
