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

[Citizen of Legoland]

So obvious it's been rushed through before crowds return.

Possibly to capitalise on the pent up desire for live football when stadia re-open. I think they'll be offering very tempting seasoncard prices to lure in supporters customers at the outset.

 

[SamBlue]

I see Cancelo has posted against the Siper League. Good on him.

He should focus on his defending and inverting.

Ah shit, are they forming more leagues?

 

[wolviedinho]

I'm honest enough to say yes for myself, whatever ridicule that admittedly entails, etc?

I only care about City, we do what serves our best interests, whether that be this or something else.

Nobody gave a shit when Bury went to the wall and nobody gave a shit about City when we were mocked.

I would rather be pragmatic, than be left behind, as I think football has been holding on to some romantic image that hasn't existed for three decades.

I don't like change, but I know I have to accept it, or things in life will move on without me, whether I like it or not.

I respect those opinions of those who have a wider love of the game, but I won't be turning my back on the club.

Completely agree.

 

[SidJames]

Amen! Some people I work with are suggesting they would just go and choose another club.

I don't think I could just pick a new team, but if a break away club was formed - like FC United was - I'd be on that!

Or, I'd just declare football as dead, and just find a new passion.

I am like that, I could not just go pick another team.

The sex wouldn't be as good. I don't think i could get remotely aroused by some minger.

prem lg meeting without big 6 on for tomo,we may be getting the ban

 

[CatMan]

I just hope that if this happens, the club we support is forced to rebrand under some kind of franchise gimmick and the name Manchester City FC can be resurrected here under people who truly appreciate what that means to its fans. All that stuff about Khaldoun having chats about the club's history with Gary James at the onset of the takeover now looks nothing more than staged managed nonsense.

 

[BillyShears]

If enough supporters don't pay for whatever products are on offer, and don't go to the games then there is a chance. My expectation though is that they have enough new "consumers" lined up that losing the traditional fan is not a serious concern.

The players are the ones. Let’s see what happens.

 

[WandV]

That'll be PSG given the Champions League trophy and Villarreal v Roma in the final of the Europa League then!

that be the worse "gift" ever uefa could offer psg...Those 12 want to lock history, and avoid us and city to be part of the c1 history as we know and knew it.

 

[MAG]

Let me try and explain this morning properly ...

It's like I've been in a long marriage (we all have been in our own way) with City ... and then one day you find out that she's cheated on you and gone and slept with someone else ... and then you hear that someone else is actually the bully from school or work that you've been fighting non-stop for more than a decade ... now this morning a divorce is right there on the cards ... will there be a patch up and this marriage will go on? maybe, who knows, maybe because it's been a long standing relationship and we have seen so many ups and downs together so there might be compromises going forward ... but that thing will hang in there, forever ... she went and slept with someone else and none other than my enemy ...

So that should answer those asking what of my relationship with City after this ...

There ... that's your pre-match thread for the cup final too! I am probably just going to paste this at the top and that's that ... unless I find out between now and the Villa game (after which that thread would go up anyway) that this all was a bad dream and details come out and this all was not really true ... and like Crefin, Soriano comes out and says we too were lied to by Ed Woodward, Agnelli and co. and now that we have looked at actual documents sent to us, they are very different to what we were first told so we're out ... that's that tiny little hope there in your head that you desperately want that news to be false (about her having gone and slept with the enemy) ...

 

[lancs blue]

We're still here, regrdless of leaving the EU.

Well done on completely missing the point, which was nothing to do with leaving the EU and everything to do with Boris's (in)ability as a negotiator.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

23 year commitment from the 12 clubs signed up so far.

This will happen regardless of any sanctions imposed such as expulsion from the league and cup competitions.

And what happens to the team with an average finishing position of 20th after the 23 years? Do our new friends look after this club, or do they discard them and leave them with nothing?

I wouldn't trust any of these snakes, they need us right now but make no mistake, for each of them its about their own self-interest. They would discard us tomorrow, if it benefitted them.

 

[PragueBlue]

I can't see how it can get off the ground because it's not feasible as a league in its own right. It is feasible as a addition to the domestic league. And we are not going to be able to play in a domestic league.

I can't see why it's not feasible as a league in its own right if they get 20 teams and they are kicked out of their national leagues. I would have thought it would be the natural progression.

Breaking News on SSN from Ceferin

• UEFA condemn disgraceful proposals - fuelled by greed
• Players should be banned from all UEFA comps as soon as possible
• Goes to town on Woodword and Agnelli - calls them liars

Must be bad if UEFA feel they have been lied to. Wait until their newest recruit starts his lies.

 

[SWP's back]

Honest question. If this did collapse could you look at City the same again after?

Yes but only because I don’t and have never put them on a pedestal. I’ve never bought into the “we’re better than them” narrative at any point. I support City because I was indoctrinated in Main Stand, Block H from the age of 5 and it was main time I got spend time with dearly missed Dad.

No **** will take that away from me and I’ll support them against whichever opposition, whatever happens.

Lucky i have brighton on my doorstep

 

[BlueHammer85]

Is this realistically happening ? or the biggest hot air ever ?

I'd definitely not bother with the PL if this was to go ahead to be honest, Spurs in a 'Super league' that they cant get relegated from ?! whole thing is a joke.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

The Champions League, for decades, has only been about money very thinly veiled as a competition - underlined by the fact you don't have to be a champion of anything to get into it.

However, by that virtue, smaller clubs had 'a chance' to get in it to play some of the bigger clubs. In reality, this romantic possibility very rarely happens and so, ironically, The Champions League is always made up of the same clubs.

UEFA has always allegedly 'helped' the clubs it wants to be there too. They have gone even further with that with their new proposal.

The club could quite easily have declined to take part. Someone else would take our place in a flash. The fans could deal with that.

However, would the fans be happy to lower their expectations substantially in terms of the team's achievements, transfers and playing staff as a result due to an enormous drop in revenues.

There are plenty in the Transfer and Matchday forums who would seriously struggle with that in my opinion.

Honest question. If this did collapse could you look at City the same again after?

No. Wouldn't ever trust them again neither

 

[half & half derby scarf]

Same for me

People who stick with the club are the traitors.
