If the threat to ban the "12" players from international games, including the Euros/world cup , the shit will hit the fan.

Some players , playing for their country's is no1, that's going to be a major problem.
 
Regardless of how the dynamics of this new league might work - can you imagine following a Premier League season knowing that bar the top 1 and bottom 3, the rest literally doesn’t matter?

As soon as 1 team pulls away the entire league apart from relegation battle would become entirely redudant. I literally can’t believe these developments last 24 hours.

I can’t believe how many of the world’s core foundations have been shaken in the last 12 months - I didn’t think English football, the constant in our lives, would also hit the self destruct button.

I'd be more interested to hear what the scrote at the swamp and kloppy have to say, after all its their paymasters driving this

Ole was hired to be a yes-man and he is and always has been a coward.

Klopp is a horrible loser, and his post-match comments after losses is laughable but I genuinly believe his heart is in the right place regarding the state of the game, he probably hates the idea of this as much as us fans and Pep is the same. This is not the time for rivalry, we just have to hope that people with stature in the game starts speaking out. Bruno Fernandes at the swamp has already shown his discontent and fair play to him. Cancelo for us, hopefully Klopp tonight. I hate both Robertson and Milner but both seems like the type to speak out against this corporate bullshit and if they do I will be their biggest supporter until we have our clubs back. Hopefully the ball really starts rolling and the big guns with the actual ability to stop this dead lile Ronaldo and Messi will follow suit. The one good thing this has done is that it has unified the fans against one common enemy. Not the clubs, not the opposing fans, not the players but the cowardice, arrogant, clueless psychopat owners. Over the next few weeks/months we need to fight this at every opportunity and praise the once standing up against it, no matter what football club they represent

You must have missed the news about the closed competition we have decided to enter without even giving a shit what the fans think. Bit surprised you missed it as you are posting in a thread about it:-)

Anyhow i hope you enjoy the threads about how the refs var have conned us out of finishing 7th instead of 6th because 6th means err absolutely nothing neither does 5th,4th,bottom or whatever.

Never mind next week it’s shalke away although fans have been there several times now and the magic has disappeared, probably the TV it is.

Meanwhile supporters of wank teams like Everton are in Budapest which is new for them. Why they are so excited I don’t know their players the agents and owners aren’t as rich as our lot. Bloody losers.

Thank you fake Mansour.

Fake Mansour.

Wow.
 
Time to panic and exit fast.

I reject the idea that we can't exit seeing as we are only pragmatic entrants only. This is a Man Utd/Livepool/ Real Madrid/Juve baby. We are invitees to give it credibility.

Kill it, exit and salvage what little reputation we have.

We're supposed to be super smart, super adept operators. Well see how the land lies and realise this is not happening.
 
Admittedly I haven't read every comment on this thread so I would be happy to be corrected. Having read the club's statement it looks to be the breakaway clubs are in conflict with the Champions League/EUFA, nothing else so far as the club's are concerned. An organisation that has been vindictive towards City for a decade and creamed off the majority of the revenues from the CL. City and the others are still looking to play in the PL or their respective national leagues. The threat against us doing that comes from EUFA who want to hang onto their cash cow and the PLteams not involved. This includes several who very recently wanted us docked points/chucked out etc. What's so wrong with City continuing with the PL and an alternative competition to the CL and one that EUFA have no control over?

If this does go ahead does it mean our financial advantage over most of the other clubs included is wiped out? Debt-ridden Barca and Real suddenly clear, and even Spuds and Arse able to spend £120m on one player? Or hopefully because I only skim read most things I’ve misunderstood something, as usual.

Semper. My understanding is the loan (bribe) comes with conditions and the allocation of the £3.5b is not equal amongst founding clubs. One condition does appear to be that the money is used on infrastructure. Look at who that suits best.... whose got the most run down stadia?

if I’m correct all it might do for City is throw money in the pot to upgrade facilities or build new ones. As ours are amongst the best in the World and as owner investment has never been a major obstacle doesn’t do much for us. You can bet that the old FFP rule where you could benefit from owner investment if the money making facility was in proximity to the ground will be reviewed. Who knows we may end up mothballing the concert hall. Whatever happens we will be shafted In any new arrangement.

Then do what? Watch all of our players walk out the door for the super league and we get stuck playing against Shaktar, Marseille and fucking Porto for the next 20yrs whilst all the big teams are in the super league. What planet are you on fella?

Where is the moral high ground when the only choices appear to be get in bed with UEFA or get in bed with the cartel? No one supported us when we had our battle with UEFA even when the evidence of corruption was "clear and organised." Most clubs couldn't wait to dance on our graves. Even after we won at CAS we were still derided. Perhaps we could have tried to sit on the fence on this one but we still would have been slaughtered. We will never get goodwill from the "footballing public" They have hated us since we had success with foreign owners.

Clubs like Sheffield United, Aston Villa and Leeds have done nothing to deserve this shit frlm us and our accomplices. Gutted.
