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

[Cityzen_89]

Supporters clubs all getting together now to fight this. Good on you lads and lasses!

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.

Probably more interest in city now blue. The videos are fantastic. Hopefully you can get through this period and prosper both emotionally and financially.

Are they doing a feature on Utd and their decision too? Seems like we, supposedly being coerced into it are now being played as being as keen on it as the other 5 clubs:

Spineless cowards. Classic Soriano, hed sell his wife for extra £200k revenue

So to make this clear; you are perfectly happy with a Champions League that has been putting into place an unofficial top four for years, perfectly happy with having a billionaire owner artificially inflate the club competitively through investment, perfectly happy with that owner being of extremely questionable moral character and being the Deputy Prime Minister in a state whose laws are from the 15th century in many social areas, and perfectly happy with us essentially bending the UEFA rules on investment to every possible degree?

All of that you'd continue on. But moving to a different European competition, now THAT'S your line? Not the fact that we had a Gulf state put a billion pounds into us to ensure our "competitiveness"? That didn't hurt the domestic league?

You're overreacting and I think that eventually you and many others will come to your senses on this whole thing. You might not like it but you'll get over it enough to continue.

I would just add that very few were concerned when a man of very serious moral character from Thailand bought the club and made us a bit more competitive. Your fully right the over reaction among the football community is unreal. A hysterical herd mentality is being generated which is totally ignoring a number of realities that have been emerging for over a generation now. I'm not altogether certain these new proposals are wise but to present them as some are doing as personal existential life altering moments is crazy.

Bayern officially refuses to join the Super League. Wish City had half the balls or integrity.

Regarding the plans to introduce a European Super League, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, CEO of FC Bayern, says: "FC Bayern did not participate in the plans for a Super League. We are convinced that the current statics in football guarantee a serious basis. FC Bayern welcomes the reforms of the Champions League because we believe that they are the right step for the development of European football. The modified preliminary round will contribute to more tension and emotionality in the competition."
'I don't think the Super League will solve the financial problems of The European clubs that corona created. Instead, all clubs in Europe should work in solidarity to ensure that the cost structure, in particular player salaries and fees for consultants, is adjusted to revenue in order to make the whole of European football more rational."

Something we should have done, at least until the end of the season

Yes I nearly added that. There is a long way to go in this imo. It’s clever businessmen meets old worlde football chaps....only ever going to be one winner. The old democracy is no more....FA should have introduced T&C’s to minimise American ownership or indeed any ownership capable of forming a cartel. Full of old farts though, who don’t understand business...

Fukin shit houses

Cowards , this is all so unlike us, since when do they not give a shite what we think

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

I had a call from Soriano earlier and I let him waffle on for a bit whilst he tried to explain how the ESL would be good for all of football before I told him to shove it up his arse.

 

[TFC]

No Germans, no French, who are the other 8 teams going to be?

 

[abu13]

Now I have had chance to calm down and look at it in the cold light of day I was hoping I would been able to think a little more rationally. However I am still furious about this and feel completely let down by my club.
I have to admit that part of me was hoping that with us apparently being the last club to sign up we were having serious misgivings about this and today withdrew their position in this clusterfuck.

The silence is absolutely deafening from our club, I feel there is no going back and we have scored the biggest own goal imaginable.

I think they may think again when the said individuals are paying £250k-per-week to the exchequer.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Imagine playing the same 14 European clubs every season FOREVER.

Those supporting City no matter what decision we take need to let that sink in...FOREVER

The American Founding Fathers my arse.

I think the implications are much bigger than that. If they can replicate this model in Asia, Americas......change rules when they want.....invite who they want...

“Who have we got tonight?”
“Barcelona away”
“For fuck’s sake - we’ve already played them 5 times this season!”

I would think so tbf, he only seems to report on City though from what I've seen.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I’m still struggling to get my head around someone allowing a quote from Joel Glazer to be on our website.

 

[we are the east stand]

It’s not all bad news. Sterling is now well placed to get a £500k/week contract.

Good on Madrid, firming up their interest with an offer on the table. Fair play

 

[bluealf]

Never said I had a problem with it, I just agree with Özil that a lot of people will have grown up watching the EC/CL and dreaming of playing and scoring in a final.

It’s the biggest club competition in the world so it’s perfectly understandable why some people will have dreamt of winning that rather than the FA Cup when they were growing up. Just like for the reasons you mentioned the opposite is completely reasonable too. I wasn’t having a go just found it funny how dismissive you were of what he’d said is all

It was my memory, my own, mine alone, we did not dream of the European Cup while playing football on the park.

Is that alright, I am sorry I recounted my tale over and over to you, maybe you will understand that it was my own experience.

I was dismissive of it because I never once dreamt of scoring in the European cup final, again my own dream.

Dear fucking lord.

PS I still notice you haven't actually said wtf you dreamt of scoring in whilst a boy, obviously not the European cup or you would have said 3 posts ago.
