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

[Elbow beards]

So are we not playing psg now next week? Is that it?

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

No love lost with UEFA.
City on the other hand..

 

[skillman]

One of you rich cunts needs to start FC City of Manchester.

I'd like to offer my services as a 30 year old, slender, chain smoking, Rodri stand in.

Throw me in too. A 30 year old striker with less movement than Jo, less aerial ability than Sane, a final ball worse than Navas but can score the odd miss hit. I’ll play for free too

I think they are hoping this will kill off the Champs League but the Champs League have stated they have no intention of going anywhere. As for promotion and relegation the 15 core members automatically qualify every year and then 5 teams supposedly will qualify for it but I'm not sure how they are going to qualify when every league has said they will not recognise this.

It's literally a micky mouse cup. There is no semblance of competition when 15 clubs don't even have to qualify for it and just get in automatically.

The problem is the leagues will have to back down. They stand with UEFA now but the amount of money the leagues will lose will see them change their minds.

Having Real Madrid and Barca in la liga is more cost effective than not.

Its a disgrace but the clubs have the power. FIFAs wet statement on this says everything

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

The domestic leagues will remain the same - however the current UEFA CL will become another europa league level competition at best

UEFA are royally fucked and its all their own doing. They have pandered, rolled over and allowed the power they once had to be taken year on year by the G14

For that I have no sympathy with UEFA

Even if this turns into a bluff, the outfall/damage from this is irreversible - thats why i dont think it is a bluff

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

Personally I hate the Champions League an everything that its about and this just seems that on steroids, I honestly couldn't be more uninterested and thats from someone who followed City home and away in the Full Members Cup whole living in Germany for the first season of it!

 

[Rascal]

That fucking clown of a PM Johnson is against it. It must be a brilliant idea then. Yet he is not a state interventionist and the government are huge fans of capitalism and love nothing more than protecting the gilded elite.

I wonder what all those people who voted for brexit think about it :))

Whatever will be, will be, and we can kick and scream and shout , we can swear and protest (oh no we cant its banned) then come KO time the Etihad will be full (apart from the empty seats of course) and the lads in sky blue will be supported, because that it what we do whether we are playing Real Madrid or Rotherham, AC Milan or Aldershot. We will still hate those cunts from Stretford and Liverpool will still be horrible cunts. On the plus side we wont have to play against that **** Vardy.

I expect there will be a compromise, where a European Super League takes the place of the CL and the PL carries on as normal. Teams in ESL will have enough money to pay for two teams and squads of 40 will be the norm. City will play 70 games a season instead of 50.

I do think it is really hypocritical of all these politicians on TV suddenly caring about fans, when they haven't given two fucks about us for a generation. Anything for a vote though.

I can't help but think though that UEFA have brought this upon themselves, they started it with their idiotic proposals for the CL and by involving non champions in the CL and i certainly will shed no tears about their demise.


how would we have though if we were in the 3rd division about to play Gillingham, would we be thinking we had been left behind and there was no future for us and we would have just slid into anonymity. With money comes power and with power comes more wealth, that is how capitalism works and unless all of you cunts are going to join me and become anti capitalist crusaders then you will just have to suck it up I am afraid.

Whose going Milan away?

Throw me in too. A 30 year old striker with less movement than Jo, less aerial ability than Sane, a final ball worse than Navas but can score the odd miss hit. I’ll play for free too

I have suffered a serious knee dislocation which has affected my confidence - so I can be the new Mendy

 

[Marvin]

This is driven by the US owned clubs.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Fucking hell. Already feeling shit enough and you twats are using this thread to slag off Sterling.

You utter thunder cunts.

Give over you soft arse, just gallows humour on a sad day for the club.

 

[PistonBlue]

I’m trying to avoid the knee jerk reaction, but current thoughts are that’s me done. 40 years a season ticket and it feels like a marriage that’s over, the club has changed, we’ve grown apart and I don’t like where they’re going.
That statement on club website is sickening. My club using quotes from the likes of Agnelli, Perez, and Joel fucking Glazer in an official statement hurts me and tells me all I need to know. These bastards wanted us out, they sought to ban us and they fed lies to the media about us. We literally had to go court to clear our name, and then we just climb into bed with them?
No,I don’t think I can get over that. This is not City any more and I’m absolutely gutted.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

surely. Fans won’t bother. They can’t have a packed Stadium for PL say for Man City v Everton , and then less than half a stadium for Man City v Madrid.

I won't bother. I'm done with it. I feel sickened. The club are probably not bothered anyway as they can replace us with subscribers from China. If people in the UK stop going the next step will be them moving the teams abroad probably as it's more financially viable.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I went to bed thinking I hate everything about this.

I‘ve woken up, had a think, and I hate it even more.

One thing that seems to have changed though is that however bad things got I would always be City first and Football second. I don’t want to get all moral and say I’ll start supporting City FC in the eighth tier but now it’s football first and City second.

We can’t support this. Only 5 out of 20 clubs qualifying through merit.

If we win it it means nothing.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Where on earth do they envisage getting match officials from?

probably the red tops will arrange for gridiron officials to run games, throwing handkerchiefs on the pitch for offsides, corners and throw ins.

 

[MarsLlama]

These 12 clubs (maybe 15) vs everyone else in the football world and many politicians outside of football...

Obviously these 12 (or 15) are powerful, but I don't think they're THAT powerful. I think this will be stopped.

UEFA will probably negotiate a Champions League reform to put an end to it and placate the clubs.

If the end result of this is that the UCL is less Spurs vs Maribor and more Bayern vs PSG then I won't complain.

I never want City to get relegated again, but I'd rather see us relegated five times over than see us in a competition where we can't be.

 

[Blue Til Death]

I’m confused, who the fuck do we boo now????

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Imagine if Dazn or Amazon got the rights to show it?

The same people who’ve killed off football with over saturation with TV, are now worried, as they’ll be stuck with the UCL.

from what they’ve come out and said at least it’s not a direct replacement for being in the league and just means these teams won’t go in for the UCL.

Yes I have seen what the FA have said.

Tbh after looking at it today, this could open up more opportunities for other teams in these leagues to go into the UCL.

But that’s IF this super league happens.

I do think it’s just a power play with UEFA.

 

[Marvin]

In many ways, it is classic typical City to completely devalue the Champions League right before we play in a huge semi final.

We have just gone along with it for fear of missing out.

 

[argyle]

It's an American led takeover of European football.

The NFL model. Guaranteed revenues every year and no chance of not qualifying.

The same teams playing each other, year in year out.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

The 'statement' hurts the most.

Joel fucking Glazer? How about you front up Khaldoon? Or you, Soriano?

Fucking pussies.
