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

[vicblueman]

What about Harry?

Meghan won't let him vote !

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

I don't have a difficult choice to make - it's going to be very easy for me.

I love City, I love Altrincham, one is selling out to greed (forced or not) the other lives basically hand to mouth.

I'll be spending my time down Moss Lane if this goes ahead. I also won't spend a penny on coverage of this pointless league

I certainly won't be spending a bean after this shite.

Back to downloading music videos it is.

 

[CatMan]

I feel more gutted today than I did yesterday! I really do feel lost and sad.

You are not alone. Our current leadership has disgraced and stained the name of Manchester City forever. I heard a report earlier refer to us as part of the 'Dirty Dozen', it nearly made me vomit.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Have a look at this drivel. I especially liked the part about having the same 20 teams for 20 years will give fans the unpredictability they crave!

Revealed: unpublished Super League document justifying breakaway

The Guardian has uncovered an unpublished European Super League document in the hidden code of its new website

www.theguardian.com

This bit is belting
“The value of live media rights is stagnating or declining as some of our competitions fail to meet the needs of fans and new generations seek entertainment in ways which didn’t exist 10 years ago,”

scripted competition storylines to keep the masses happy!

What on earth has our club become. It’s clear the owners don’t give a shit about our club or it’s fans

 

[BlueHammer85]

Who the fuck is going to pay for this shit ?

millions in China/Asia. Tv deals. Etc. My best guess.
prob offer cheap tickets to get fans in.

 

[BlueDan91]

What looks like a large group of liverpool fans have travelled to elland road to protest the ESL too

 

[Rascal]

Word is from my man.

Pep is seriously unimpressed with this, City were pushed into it, the club panicked as the others had signed up.

Direct quote " These things seldom end as they begin"

Yeah I can see where you're coming from, but will one of those places automatically go to the PL when there's already 6 english clubs in it. There's loads of countries with clubs of a rich european pedigree that are maybe far more deserving

This is one of the many reasons why the statements so far have been wank. It doesn’t seem like they’ve thought it through themselves. Don’t ever go to market with a half baked idea that isn’t ready for the public.

Ajax or Burnley? Tough one!

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

UEFA and FIFA outraged. Lol.

 

[Sheriff Fatman]

Sorry I'm confused, PSG go through, Dortmund and Porto go through by default. Neither Dipps or Real go through as they both signed, so play off between the two teams that they beat in the first KO round for the 4th place?

Is this hypothetical or fact?

 

[maurizio]

I genuinely feel sick this evening. Like we've lost in a final or been relegated. It's getting into bed with that lot and the americanisation of football. Automatic slots will destroy the jeopardy involved in the game.

 

[Bald fraud]

Everyone on here has been banging on about how corrupt FIFA, UEFA the PL are for years. This plan kicks them in the nuts where it hurts - in the money. I think that this is the wrong way to go about it but I can understand City’s point of view. If this happen, and that is a big IF, then City have to be in on it. How else will they get to play in Europe? Don’t tell me that UEFA will ban all these clubs and WHU will play ‘ dogs body’ in the final because that won’t happen. Neither will docking points, banning teams. You are talking about the teams that bring in ALL the money to UEFA and PL without whom the TV deals are dead. Everyone lauding Bayern and PSG because of their ‘stance’ will see them change their tune IF this goes ahead and they see their income going down the tubes.

As I said this is a disgraceful league but IF this IS the future then City HAVE to be in it.

If we are in it we’re also rans almost immediately. They’ll have their own version of ffp to well and truly fuck us over

 

[kaz7]

Sky is up,MNF

 

[waspish]

When you look at the revamped uefa champs league it’s a load of fcuking shite! Uefa are a corrupt organisation who have just employed fat fucker Tebas I hate uefa who are living in the past!

 

[SWP's back]

They night get overseas subscriptions but nobody will be in the stadiums and I fear those trying to attend will be attacked.

Really?

 

[paulchapo]

It's a rival to the Champions League not to the Premier League

It's not if we're booted out of the premier league as well. It then becomes some shit so called European super league where the same greedy bastards play each other every season, with maybe the odd addition here and there. Utterly boring and pointless.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

At least if uefa kick us out of CL when it's our best chance to win it, and the PL strip us of the title we're about to win,we can all rejoice at being able to say for the first time in years 'typical city'

UEFA will not allow any of the rebel clubs to win this year's CL whatever legal advice they are given. I think we are safe in the PL though because I doubt they can retrospectively take a title off us. This is a bloody disaster whichever way you look at it. We desperately need some intervention from a third party to resolve this dispute...and all in the middle of a deadly pandemic across Europe. Bloody hell.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

They will also want more of the tv rights money if they did get it off the ground ,they will say they've got bigger followings worldwide & deserve more of the pie.

Real 'n Barca will, after the first season or so, treat the ESL the same way they have treated La Liga for some time. 'We are the Spanish teams that the world wants to see; we should get the lion's share of the TV money! " There are a number of teams who are throwing their weight behind this venture who, in the past, have shown themselves to be rather untrustworthy. I would have preferred City to have kept them at arm's length, using Tyson Fury's arms as the measure.
