Done. A disgrace to English football clubs, as are the other five.

Live discussion

I've not seen a single person on here say anything positive about it or even try and defend City for their involvement, thought I'd check out redcafe thinking surely even they would be the same, and whilst the majority of it are saying the same as us, there's a surprising amount of people on there actually trying to back it. I imagine rawk have already got 6 threads blaming Everton and Chelsea fans and have photoshopped liverpools name out of the statement.

Billion a year wage bill soon? Ours it at £351m already and rising....

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Its just a new CL with less teams without Uefa stealing the money from top clubs calm down.

Aint going to replace the PL or even change it.

There is bigger money in elite football than what Uefa wanted to share between top clubs, thats what it boils down to.
Looking at the numbers the difference was quite big.

Greedy? yes. thats the football industry for you. it wasnt running on good will in any of the last 20 years either make no mistake neither before.

You are deluded to think even if the PL let the 6 teams back in that nothing will change

I’d suggest getting your armour ready

Reality bites.

And, I didn’t provide a personal,opinion of my druthers. In fact, I loved what Neville had to say. The question is, is anyone with power listening?

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Couldn't even say something to us, just a generic post, even quoting joel fucking glazer

City are one of the rats now.

 

[BobKowalski]

It’s not like City were going to do UEFA any favours and if the other big boys climb aboard then City are going to climb aboard.

Business wise it makes sense, overseas markets will lap it up. China/Far East, US, will go for it. UEFA is dead in the water and domestic leagues will to the way of the FA Cup as second tier competitions.

Matches will also get staged in Middle East, Far East. Money on offer will be insane.

Getting in as founding members and writing the rule book is better for City than UEFA throwing the rule book at us every year. For City it’s a no brainer.

Sucks for fans like me who prefer domestic league competition and can’t be arsed with CL football, but part of my dislike is the way City were treated so on one hand happy to see UEFA get shafted, on the other don’t think this development is for me.

Trouble is old farts like me aren’t the target market for this shit.

Club Statement regarding Super League Competition

Twelve of Europe’s leading football clubs have today come together to announce they have agreed to establish a new mid-week competition, the Super League, governed by its Founding Clubs.

t.co

And how is this new super league going to help the clubs suffering from the pandemic in Belgium Holland Norway and pretty much 99% of all historic European clubs you parasitic arseholes.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

That seems hyperbolic at first glance, but is actually quite probably true.

I am in no way endorsing this but when you look at the amount of money the club is being offered and in a Covid affected world were the club ever going to refuse that?

 

[domalino]

I've just seen someone say that nothing sums up how American driven this is than announcing it at 11.30pm UK time, 00.30 European time and 3.30pm/6.30pm US time

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Put a large bet on PSG in the CL semi-finals.

Maybe. Depends if the Super League clubs get to particular referees who'll get a payoff for reffing in the Super League. Perhaps they'll see it as an opportunity to subvert PSG to pressure them as the outsiders to join the club. The politics stretches way beyond surface level.

[Academica]

Can they do it tomorrow then so we can load up for the Villa and Spurs games without having to worry about PSG.

No we are being removed from the premier league tomorrow so stop worrying about Villa.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I can’t believe we have signed up to a cartel where Joel Glazer is Vice President!

 

[give it to gordon]

Where does this leave the players their careers, can see our season falling apart now but do I really care anymore ? At this moment I couldnt give a fuck.

I cant believe I feel like this the one constant thought out my life has now kicked me in the balls

 

[Metal Biker]

When Sergio Aguero leaves it truly will be the end of an era.

What a great ten years only to be sullied by this. I feel for Foden; on he cusp of a great City career.

Fuck sake.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Haha fuck off. Hopefully banned

 

[BobKowalski]

I am in no way endorsing this but when you look at the amount of money the club is being offered and in a Covid affected world were the club ever going to refuse that?

No.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

So 18 'league games' then assuming two legged quarters and semis gives 23 total games.

How can they say this won't interfere with the domestic calender, it is impossible to have both.
