I also find this the most likely outcome.

I believed in City being a club like that n'all. In the face of what we've gone through with the Cartel, to end up in bed with them stinks!
 
I'm sure I've seen a film with a similar storyline to this.

12 criminals working for their Boss hatch a plan to steal his fortune. They're all already guilty of doing his bidding, and the authorities are onto them, so why not break the law whilst bringing about his downfall, and take the spoils for themselves? There're a couple in the crew who aren't really on board, but the others all tell them "You'll end up banged up anyway, for what we did for him, no-one will respect you whatever you do, so either you're in now or you're out". They reluctantly agree.

Someone spills the beans. Now the Boss knows, but they're a great crew so maybe he cuts them a deal for their continued allegiances, or the they go through with the plan anyway and are caught. They all get banged up together, with the spoils hidden away incase they ever get out.

We fans are the family, some of us will disown them and move on. Some of us will begrudgingly go and visit them once a week on a Wednesday night, in a prison of their own making, knowing what they did, but loving them all the same.

Anyone know how it ended?

You seriously think we'd get any credit or support if we did that?
They may say otherwise but we are hated among the rest.
We've been telling the footballing world for years that FFP was brought in to protect the elite, it's a cash grab.
What support did we get?
Absolutely fucking none!
Martin Samuel was the only one.
Did the footballing world care when we nearly went bust?
While the likes of United, Liverpool, Arsenal and then Chelsea sat at the top of the league racking in cash year after year.
Did they fuck.
It, coincidentally only started happening when City sat at the top table and City was the stick that they beat everyone with.

Of course we’d get support from other clubs and fans if we did. Most pundits including the likes of Carragher and Neville would be praising us. Unfortunately though our lovely rich owners are as greedy and snide as the rest of these tossers involved.

But City earn £600m a season in revenue (without Covid). Thing is without Utd and Barcelona it would shrivel.

Man Utd have put a gun to everybody's head. If you're a md-table club, you're not getting in. If you are a rival, if you don't get in, we destroy your league and you're not coming in.

Did we have a choice? We can hope it fails.

If you’re a mid table tram you are not getting in? How about Arsenal (and AC Milan)?

I wonder what Pep thinks about all this. I know he's big buddies with Ferran and Cheeky, but this has gone way above their pay grades. Pep strikes me as a man of strong principles and it wouldn't surprise me if he walked.

Its so weird to think he wasn't even consulted? Khaldoon has always come across as someone who understands, or at least has made an effort to understand. The idea he would just not even mention it to Pep seems unlikely, or even KDB who came out after extending his contract and said he had been assured of the clubs plans for the future. Was this not even mentioned to him??

No - they didn’t.

They missed an opportunity to jump into bed with Bayern, PSG and UEFA on an equally greed-driven proposal.

There was no honourable continuity option on the table.
 
it’s interesting to see the PL stating that clubs cannot resign their membership of the UCL and move on - isn’t that precisely what they oversaw when clubs resigned from the Football League to form the PL?

Ceferin has no credibility- he might want to look at his own proposals for the CL before he wades in on the SL - two sides of the same coin.

I’m not supporting the SL but this is just a continuation of a process and most of the hysterics seem more based on administrators being outflanked. UEFA had no respect for the football pyramid until yesterday - they don’t like this because it’s being instigated outside their control.

If they do that the clubs will just leave the PL. The PL will not be much of a competition without the main teams in it. The TV money will plummet and it will have about as much pull globally as the Dutch league.

So the 14 clubs get shafted either way - sounds very reasonable .

Greed wins again - excellent .
 
Competitions..any competitions must be run independently of the clubs participating in them. You think UEFA was bad wait till our direct rivals make the rules with no buffer at all.

The clubs will decide which extra 5 clubs to invite into the ESL each year for a little holiday will they? Based on what? Do they only get a year? How do they get more? What happens to the teams that are not invited but thought they might be..what competition are they in? Do they expect that a team waits to see if they are in the ESL before declining a UEFA competition for a year?

Some of the rules are based on the more popular clubs being paid more than the rest. That’s not a competition in a sporting sense it’s who has the most fans around the World. It will be like boxing with an A side and a B side with teams choosing who they fancy beating.

Scratch beneath the surface and its unworkable Unless it’s a complete break from all other clubs forever which is what they would eventually insist on.
