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

[Centurions]

Did Peg fall on his sword in disgust? Will anyone else follow him?

 

[decmancity]

Makes sense why they rushed out the super league announcement late on a Sunday. So its basically the same shite in a different package and now UEFA will get slaughtered for not having any counter offer to the top clubs in Europe and the super league now sit back and say "We knew what UEFA was gonna do was shite, as well as taking half the money for their christmas piss up and Platini's holiday homes so we are going to do it ourselves"

 

[Damocles]

A note for those going along with this proposal. It will eventually lead to a franchise model.

Why

 

[Revolver]

Hopefully this proposed soulless Comp is just a way of the so called big clubs trying to make sure EUFA give them more opportunities to make money. Regardless this drive to ensure a cartel keeps its place at the top and City’s apparent willingness to join in is depressing.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

we have to accept that.

we absolutely do not.

A note for those going along with this proposal. It will eventually lead to a franchise model.

Do people seriously expect that a European franchise model would have two clubs from Manchester and for that matter two from Milan long term?

We should all know how US franchises are sold on. There was the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team that moved to Los Angeles. It happens all the time. The City franchise could easily be sold on to anywhere in Europe, or indeed anywhere in the World.

We could just merge the two Manchester clubs into one franchise, how does Manchester City United sound.

Spurs, AC Milan.......

well they are one of the top 20 European clubs. So are the rags & they’ve won nothing for years. I hated the constant reference to only clubs with CL “history” are relevant. It’s THE NOW that is relevant

The title of the thread is wrong, that's not how you spell flouncing.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Thee clubs not uefa, the letters, remember ?

Ok then, they won't be sat in a dark room worrying about the other clubs destroying us. These aren't people on a forum, these are multi-million pound earning business men who know what they are doing, and what is best for the direction of the club and the investment made the last decade. I put forward it is you who is naive, if you think we are joining this venture just to be allowed to be destroyed from those participating.

I started going to City with my old man 24 years ago and I wanted nothing more than to take my own son in a couple of years. My Dad has already said he wont renew now and for the first time I'm seriously considering the same.

240 mile round trip to watch a club that has completely had it's soul ripped away, my own fault for being blinkered in to thinking we were above and better than the other greedy fuckers. Clearly not.

Fuck off City.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Jumping into bed with the very clubs who have driven the entire FFP agenda for 10 years does not seem like a sensible move to me.

Not jumping into that bed would be a far less sensible decision and anyone who thinks The Sheikh wouldn't make it has not been paying attention.

 

[domalino]

Real Betis have updated La Liga table on their club website -

 

[SWP's back]

Come on now ,it is the istory clubs wet dream, we have gone into a trap

You’re away with the fairies seeing reds under the bed Kaz. Nothing I say will dissuade you from your conspiracy theories and nothing you say will make me believe the world in which your head lives so we may as well move on. I very much doubt you’re smarter than the combined clout of our management team as to likely pitfalls for the club. Nor do I think I am.

 

[Gordyola]

I wonder how the hateful 8, who signed the letter, but are excluded from the founders list feel now?

 

[Jamiblue]

And that's probably because of the 50+1 rule where fans all get a vote on club matters. Only RB Leipzig don't have that model in German football and I bet they'll get invited eventually

Ah right, wasn’t aware of that! Thanks for that.

 

[burning blue soul]

i cant believe some of the shite being spunked over this thread today.

any idiot who believes football is in a better place with this abomination needs a head check-up!

 

[DrBlueBob]

It will have one benefit for me, more football flights = more work =job security

Surely that's scant consolation for having been stripped of your knighthood though?

 

[Didsbury Dave]

we absolutely do not.

Obviously you're at liberty to vote with your feet by not renewing your Sky Subscrition and Season Ticket. The only thing that could possibly stop this would be a mass, organised fan movement/boycott.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

I have heard Boris Johnsons comments but I am still awaiting a statement from David Cameron

 

[Saddleworth2]

Interesting, statement taken down?
