City are still going to exist and play games, and 99% of your YouTube audience will be there watching them, I dont think you need to worry.

Probably. I have to 'act' though and pretend to be interested, which is something ive never had to do before. Dunno if I could to be honest.

Utterly sunk by this. Can't really think straight and i've just been achingly sad since last night. It probably doesn't help now that I'm also possibly out of a job given my youtube channel was a full time endeavour. Emotionally and professionally devastated tbh.

Why would you be out of a job? You couldn’t bring yourself to create content on the club if it was in the SL rather than the CL?
 
No one is I think too bothered about the CL. Don't care what you call it. What matters to me is a closed shop league divorced from the rest of football. It's elitist boring nonsense. it would have no long term future anyway.

If I were City I would be seeking talks with the Premier League, UEFA and Government.

So far I suspect City have just been pragmatic and done what we think is in the best interests of the club, but if we get the feeling it's not going to happen we should blow it up.

I hate the idea but I can see that City have been put in an almost impossible position. Easy to say we should just refuse but Utd and Liverpool are basically burning the rest of football, and if they are successful we'd be Kings of a nothing league.

The best hope is that the regulators kill it,and City make a sharp exit. I'd be negotiating.

This is of course assuming we don't have our noses firmly in the trough with the rest of them.Logically, the Premier League and UEFA CL were great for us. We were on top. It makes sense for a Spurs. It makes less sense for City. We are likely the weak link in this. COuld we exit from this? I suggest City are just motivated by pragmatism.

Another thing that's just occured to me (sorry if already mentioned - I can't keep up!)

The "Super Soccer Fussball League Bowl" teams probably WANT to be kicked from their respective leagues... at the moment the new league is midweek but if the leagues did grow a pair and boot them then they could in theory move that midweek to weekend primetime - that would properly screw the leagues and their TV revenue over.

I genuinely think that's the entire point to this. They'll want Amazon/Disney etc. showing Friday night through to Sunday night, each game given it's own slot, no clashes, all Pay Per View... there's no way on Earth this will stay a midweek competition for long.
 
I can’t think of a way the ESL and the existing football pyramid coexist.

One is competition based with promotion and relegation based on results the other is popularity contest where everyone gets paid no matter how bad their team is. One has a governing body the other governs itself like a pre season tournament.You can’t have both.

This is the end game.If it doesn’t get stopped now it will be bland Disney rubbish.

I thought you had another job, mate? You did at one time, pretty sure you mentioned it.

Gone too far I think mate. Woodward resigning his position at UEFA and Ceferin's comments about Woodward and Agnelli appears to render the position of the clubs untenable within UEFA.

Now the mischievous side of me hopes that City signing the letter of intent is actually a ploy to get all these clubs who have officials in UEFA positions to step down from them - give 'em enough hope to hang themselves and all that - and that we're actually working in cahoots with UEFA to fuck them all over.

Not at chance mate, we are all in, we have sold out and our Owners are as bad as all the the clubs we have ridiculed over the years.
We have rolled over and left ourselves open to being stabbed in the back by the clubs who have been after us for years.

Well talk about ruining the season.

Unfortunately they dont give a toss about us fans so I dont see why we should give a toss about them. Greed rules all

What praise did we deserve in your opinion? I can hardly blame fans with no hope of getting where we are without a sugar daddy for not being keen on us or even jealous of our luck and success.

I didn't want praise, I still don't.
I wanted a fair crack of the whip, some support.
We got none.

Ceferin is a prick - and he has the audacity to say the proposed competition is a spit in the face to all of football - they have just effectively created a bigger closed shop themselves than the one they currently run

Ceferin can fuck off as well

Don’t forget they’ve hired tebas too.


Uefa had a choice and they didn’t choose city.
