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

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Maybe a moment of reassessment should be taken. The big clubs should not have an over representation in the say of how football is run. The game doesn't belong to them, but they act like it does.
Yes, they bring in viewers, but have they actually helped fans in any way by bringing in these viewers? No!
They have used fans as furniture to be positioned and moved around at will, while at the same time charging ever increasing amounts for seats.
If clubs and fans was a relationship, it would be an abusive one!!!

Totally agree. The truth is that over the last 100+ years of professional football in this country the teams that 'bring in the viewers' has changed many times. In the last 30 years professional football has been trying to make sure certain teams stay in this privileged position. This move is intended to cement that into perpetuity.

How in the holy feck are Spurs included in this?? Anybody need reminding of their last title?

 

[MeatHunterrr]

I can see it a mile off: Madrid’s owner, United’s owners, Liverpool’s owner, Juve’s owner and Arsenal’s owner are the chairmen of this, and we haven’t got a single person representing us on the board.

We’ll be kicked out within three seasons as the pigs at the trough find a way to fuck us over, and we won’t be welcomed back to domestic football after breaking away.

This will end in tears for City.

We are the most naïve club in world football if we go along with this!

CAS will be busy for sure.

The insurance against this is to sign superstar.

Would you say the football Nations League is better, or worse, than international friendlies?

Zero percent interest in friendlies, 5 percent interest in Nations
league, 90% interest in summer Euro and World Cup tournaments would be my honest answers to that. I was trying to make the point that the 6 Nations for example I love to bits - with the same 6 teams every f’kin year! ;-)

Not if they can't play for their national sides, many will bail.

It’s the last thing Uefa can cling to alright.

but imagine a World Cup without debruyne, Messi and lots more? They’d never allow it.

 

[SJT]

So, 98% of people on here don’t want this, and city are going ahead with it - I’m so nearly finished with football,
we are the game - the fans.

 

[willipp]

Arse and Spurs?

Didn’t say best ;)

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

FFS.

Wouldn't worry about anything the BBC says, let alone that thundercunt Simon Stone. Nothing better than an establishment propaganda outlet.

 

[Cobwebcat]

How would the national team work ? You see some of these South American players worship playing for their countries but would they be allowed

The breakaway relies on the fact that they can still stay in the Domestic leagues and play Internationally. That will prove problematic.

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'm not in favour of this Super League but City first every time.

We await to see what exactly is going to happen and what part City play but I want blame the people managing the club for wanting to have the team play in the most prestigious, lucrative and widely viewed competitions.

No other fuckers have been looking out for City so the club has to do what is best for it. What I hope is that football associations and supporters can do enough to make this a Superfluous League and prevent it ever getting off the ground.

Sky reporting us in as well

 

[paulchapo]

Good rant by Neville, but typical rag arrogance to mention the rags, dippers and Arsenal as the real history sides when others have been around just as long of not longer. He has to be careful naming names too as he has no proof.

It’s not UEFA it’s FIFA’s rule that they’d be banned from international football.

[Bozzie]

It would be crazy for the pl to throw out their biggest 6 assets.

I'm sure plenty might say it would be crazy for them to allow those 6 clubs to remain.

Yes it's a double edged sword.

 

[abu13]

I reckon they’d find a way to kick us out within a few years. I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them.

This is actually a point that needs to be debated, what happens if a club is deemed to have broken the rules that this new Super League sets in place, could they then remove that club from the competition and if so where do they then go? Can you image us joining this shit storm and then having our spend controlled by this rabble with the threat of expulsion basically meaning the club has nowhere to play.

Can you imagine the City v Hyde United match day thread.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Unfortunately it wouldnt, Agnelli is the leading figure in this breakaway league - the same guy who said Atalanta did not deserve to be in the champions league even though the qualified legitimately via league position

You are right of course but what is the solution? Surely it is too late to reform and clean up UEFA. It's dead in the water (CAS didn't help). I thought the proposal to bring Tebas in was just unbelievable. UEFA is a corrupt nest of vipers. Meanwhile Agnelli himself has been repeatedly investigated for his links to the mafia. Perez must have been involved in the tax fraud at Real Madrid. None of these people are fit to run football.
This battle needs some sort of intervention from a third party because football is much more important to people in Europe than just a sport.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Oh well maybe we can enter the full member's Cup again
