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

[kaz7]

Are we still booing UEFA then? Confused.

We can boo both and ihope we boo this new aboration

 

[marco]

lets just hope the mass of objections gather some strength and it all comes crashing down

They would be destroying themselves financially if they did want the 6 kicked out.

I think they are already being destroyed financially.

 

[Citizen Green]

I am hoping and praying that City release a statement saying something along the lines of 'following consultation within the club with it's shareholders and supporters, we wish to reverse our decision to join the ESL, and believe we made a mistake in initially joining. We look forward to further dialogue with all relevant organizations'.

Or something to that effect. I hold zero hope.

 

[Cheesy]

We've shit all over 'smaller' clubs we really have and those who think this is acceptable should remember that not that long ago we were on of those clubs.

It's an absolute fucking disgrace it really is.

A big "FUCK YOU!" to City and to anyone who is anything less than disgusted with our club for being part of this

I suspect their will still be value in the PL with the 6 there. Very little without them. Would be more like a glorified Championship with the income to match. There could also be a PL team or two still harbouring hopes of being invited to join that perhaps wouldn't want to piss the 6 off.

Time will tell. I would love things to continue as they are but I think it has gone beyond that now.

There'll be no value when the likes of the dippers and rags start fielding u23 teams to prioritise their ESL games (remember we're talking about one club that didn't turn up for the FA Cup and another who's manager decided he couldn't be arsed managing an FA Cup game). When there's no fight for European places.

Porto has been asked to join but refused saying it's against the principals of football.
There will be more clubs saying the same as the day goes on.

Yep - because that’s the best spin to put on it, to paint them as bastions of all that’s good in the game.

Fact is if they were offered a place, it would have been on shit terms (ie: not one of the 15 core teams), so they probably decided to stay put as a big fish in the UEFA version.

But of course - it’s all a moral stand for the good of the game!

 

[Blue Til Death]

I hear none of the German clubs will be signing up ie Bayern & Dortmund, is this true ??

 

[DrBlueBob]

The hysteria is getting comical. Why doesn't someone go and set themselves on fire outside the Etihad or something just to really make their point.

Any suggestions as to who said self immolator should be DD? :-)

 

[kaz7]

Wait , we have stopped trying to beat the rags , toget us more say in this

Yes more paronia

 

[aguero93:20]

We're still booing the anthem for European games regardless mate, don't worry.

 

[BrianW]

It looks to me like City have accepted a lowly seat at the high table because the alternative is to sit outside the castle with the serfs.

We are supping with the Devil - hope we've got a bloody long spoon.

PS Arsenal and Spurs in a "European Super League" LOL.

 

[Norbert D]

So basically JP Morgan have offered £4.5 Billionish to finance this, hence it’s all about money and wherever the money is. for our owners thats change down the back of the sofa, so why not blow the fuckers out of water and make a rival bid? Shift the balance of power away from the yank owned clubs? Football sold its soul decades if not a century ago, be funny as fuck to watch them all come grovelling to our owners.

 

[ShedDweller]

I would say it is absolutely nailed on he would have been told about it, the same with KDB too.

Anyone involved, player, manager whatever... that supports this is not worthy of our support...

 

[Gordyola]

it could happen. They only need the 14 votes to do it

It could but already there has already been legal moves to prevent any sanctions being applied I guess they anticipated this and as long as they haven't broken any rules any regulations the uninvited and UEFA can probably do fuck all about it :(

 

[SamBlue]

English football sold it's soul in 1992......

I grew up watching Forest, Villa, Ipswich Town, even WBA playing in Europe. Or do you remember Blackburn? Go and tell them about 'the soul of football'. Everybody hates capitalism until they stop working on Monday!

Yes.

Straw man number 247.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Pep must have been privy to this and support it.

He only signed a new contract in November and the owners must have shared some of the vision with him, especially as he classes them as "friends". On the other side of this, if he signed that contract and had no prior warning or knowledge and hates the idea, I can see him walking.

If he was supportive then I'm hopeful the full details will make a lot more sense than this current wall of silence....

 

[aguero93:20]

You know what, I would deduct enough points from each of these clubs to ensure they fail to qualify for any European football next season.

All 6 teams can go and fuck themselves.

Just relegate the 3 that finish lowest in the table >:)
