I've struggled to put into words how I feel about this horror show. The best I can come up with without my head exploding is "what a crock of absolute shit". Greed....pure and simple.

I cannot believe our club has signed up to this. It seems we were last to sign up of the 'Big 6' which would suggest we had doubts. Were we backed into a corner as some reports say? If so, how? And I would love to know if the club felt there was an alternative course to follow.

The three English clubs who originally pushed this, with their American owners, it's so obvious they have a business model with their clubs that is well and truly fucked. Arsenal....Arsenal! fuck me what an irrelevant side if ever their was one....Utd who have owners that have piled on the debt and bled the club dry.....Liverpool with their 'moneyball' crap. And they have the gall to demand a seat at the top table no matter how shit they are. No-one has that right, not even City. So they make a power and money grab to protect their own interests and fuck the fans over royally. They don't give a fuck about fans, or helping clubs lower down the pyramid, or creating a better standard of football. It's all nonsense. It's about one thing only....money. Fuck them all. Today, sadly, I feel angry and embarrassed to be a City fan and see my club sign up for this shitshow.
 
Still absolute radio silence from any players or managers involved with this ESL. That silence speaks volumes. Would not suprise me if they have been told to say nothing in case of lawsuits.
 


This is EXACTLY what the owners want ffs. They want players to become commodities, turn clubs into franchises, play when required. It would actually suit ESL smh

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?

Qatar bought FIFA, bought the world cup. Dozens went to jail. But they kept the World Cup. The very next year, they ploughed their money into UEFA. They bought the TV rights, and became 'the sponsored' airline. The bidding for Qatar 2022 was a massive fest of corruption and led to scores of resignations and prosecutions.

And yet they kept the Tournament, and extended their influence?

And Infantino, who was head of UEFA's legal during a time when they sold CL rights to people who ended up on Interpol's Red List for corruption during the process. Now he's running FIFA? And he let Qatar keep the 2022 cup?

And Platini turns out to have been corrupt as well?

Yes, I'd rather Real, Utd, and Liverpool and us formed an organisation that dealt with the TV and marketing rights.

Because they wouldn't be open to corruption in that way.

I honestly believe the G14 are the lesser of two evils. And I am dead clear why our owners would see this as an end to Qatar's highly dubious extension of influence into world football governing bodies who have proven unwilling or unable to act in a manner that proves their legitimacy.

I mean, they banned us based on information gathered illegally by someone who went to jail for related acts. How can that be the due process of law?

It's
A
Farce.

Fuck them. Blow it all up, start again.

I agree with most of this apart from bit about trusting the G14. I would never trust the Cartel crooks at LFC, MUFC, Real Madrid, Milan etc. I agree with blowing up UEFA. It is rotten to the core and needs to be destroyed for the good of football. But what do we replace it with? What is being proposed could destroy domestic football which is the jewel in the crown for me. You can't allow Joel Glazer and John Henry to govern themselves.

The thing that sickens me (and I'm sure I'm not the first to mention it, but I'm not going through 400+ pages) is that, IIRC, the other 5 were all signatories to that infamous letter. And now we've climbed into bed with them.

5 signatories have forced us to take this step. Because ultimately, we lose if we don't join them. ESL was going to be formed with or without City.
 
I feel that strongly about this.

That i would be happy for our owners to sell up and fuck off, go and find another Club. I am really upset, we have become what we so despise a Rag clone Club,

And before anyone says don't be ridiculous, how would we ever survive.

We have been around for 125 years. Sure we have been up and down more than a hookers knickers' will give you that.

But all through that time we have had a very solid fan base. A local. Working class club, with a feeling of togetherness as fans, a feeling of us against the World. All together for one love City.

Make no mistake our owners singled us out for buying because of that solid support base. We have always been a top 6 Club.

Dont get me wrong i was happy we were bought. A sleeping Giant was awakened. But let us not forget our owners got as much out of this relationship as us, they got all the publicity they were after. We got the success we badly desired, and deserved.

I didn't like looking around the ground seeing tourists with Cameras that came with that success ,with no affinity to City, but accepted it was a price we had to pay. it grated on me that friends i religiously went to the game with were priced out of watching a team they loved though.

This to me right now though is going way too far, our owners are taking the Piss. Manchester City is our football Club, they had no fucking right to use our Club like this without consulting fans groups first. They are nothing more than short term custodians of our great football Club. You don't get to do what ever the fuck you want with it. Shitting all over our working class heritage, then using quotes from the Glaziers on the City Website...i mean really wtf is that about ? Sure market the brand, with your own. No one has a problem with that.

To make such a fundamentally important decision without consulting fans is beyond words. I am not surprised fans from all 6 Clubs are apoplectic with rage.
 
As one of the clubs excluded ( although ironically they have actually won the European Cup) I can see the Villa team being really motivated on Wednesday ( apart from Jack who won’t want to upset us) .
RIP Manchester City

There isn't going to be an FA Cup or EFL Cup involving City if this goes ahead. Even if the PL don't have the bollocks to expel teams this is going to be open war with the FA and Football League.

But if the clubs in the SL wins the legal battle that has already started about not being expelled from domestic comps etc surely we the FA and FL will get the same treatment.....legally speaking.,,,,?

This and the fact that no fans have been involved in making this decision. It's "we're doing this and we don't care what you think"

So ashamed of City for doing this
