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

[BLUEMATT23]

Are the Yanks behind all of this ?
They could fix it so its just the rags and Liverpool to win it as they are American owned?

I watch test cricket, 6 nations and club rugby, lions tours, and plenty of other sports including local level sport and I can honestly say promotion and relegation (or not) makes virtually no difference to my enjoyment of any given event. I certainly I’m no fan of what I’ve heard proposed today, but I can’t honestly say promotion/relegation is what stops it all from being pointless. Ultimately my main priority in football is as a supporter of City, not the FA or the “football pyramid”.

Get your point but having promotion and relegation as a jeopardy is a great way to ensure a competitive season to the end etc - I don't see removing it as a step in the right direction..........

I wonder if when signing new contracts like KDBs recently players were made aware of what might be coming

How could they do that? If it was mansour owned, how could he fix it?

This. And they introduced the historical payments so clubs living in the past got more share of the money

There’s a lot more to this than an idle threat this time...the finances are in place to go now whatever is offered which, at the moment, is expulsion.

Just seen Rat boys rant, I agree with most of what he said but, I take issue with the history bollocks of the rags, arse and dippers. Those clubs have been shitting on the rest of football since the 70's (and earlier) when they started talking about an English Super League back then.

Sponsorships, share of home gate receipts, etc etc.....they want it all. Pure greed.

1988 (?) Rags, Dippers, Arse, Spuds and Everton formed the Super League with 5 other clubs invited. UEFA, FIFA,
The FA and Football League told them where to go then we got the Premier League. Now they are at it again with Europe. The Football Associations should tell them they will not be able to take part in any domestic and International competition if it goes ahead.

If they want a European Super League, fine, let them go. I won't be watching. I can't believe we are part of this.

Bet a lot of players are on the phones with their lawyers about this. Expect a lot of legal challenges from them about terminating their contracts if they can't play for their national teams due to this.

Termination and compensation!

The real culprit in all this is UEFA. They have been weak all along and given the G14 whatever they wanted. Appeasement always ends in disaster. I saw a quote, ostensibly from UEFA, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH". Should have said that 10 years ago.

 

[ancoats]

It'd have to be approved by the PL and UEFA. What happens if those 'teams' qualifies to the CL? No way in hell UEFA would accept that eventuality, hence the expulsion threat.

the 2 club option would be a home based option without any sort of promotion or any involvement with the super league

 

[paulchapo]

That’s exactly what I think it is.

The so called history clubs want automatic qualification and more money. Still dangerous as like the old nailed on top four they will pull away again.

 

[supersonicblue]

Who do we think will make the announcement? The clubs involved?

 

[bluemcr]

All sterling's fault this mess

 

[OB1]

im City before anything but think how we would feel if we were Everton, Newcastle, West Ham, Villa, forest etc...... basically irrelevant cos of greed, it could so easily be us and it’s just fuvkin wrong

I know how we would feel.

Maine Road FC hearing Super League news

 

[foxbox123]

Just listening to Raph Honigstein on 5Live saying the Germans aren't behind this because they think it'll fold.

I am slightly airing on the side of this not happening.

 

[chesterbells]

Yes but that has been a traditional structure its not giving everything up like this nonsense !

Ah, so it’s change you don’t like!

 

[ScottSinclair]

Who do we think will make the announcement? The clubs involved?

Isnt Florentino Perez the figurehead in this shambles

 

[burning blue soul]

All sterling's fault this mess

And you don't think Mahrez has had a hand in this, also? C'mon!!

 

[mscenterh750]

If we join this fucking ludicrous league, then I’m done with football and watching us. I just hope and pray we tell them to fuck off.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I know how we would feel.

I’m City before anything but any victory would feel hollow if we could never be relegated from the Super League. I could lose interest in the sport which I would never have thought.
