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

[doobyedoobye]

City's legal team stood their ground vs PL, UK, UEFA and the rest of European football, except CAS.

We shouldn't make a mistake, the ESL concept has been developed, planned, financed and legally checked over YEARS. Investors in a billion market use to do that...

Even a possible UEFA ban for the current competition will be covered in their legal scenarios. 100%.

My hope is the fans and wider footballing community make it painfully difficult for the Founders to make it work. I get that it's unlikely but it's not impossible to start a revolution...

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Pulling out and apologising would certainly be a start.

I do that on a monthly basis I can give them some pointers.

I would feel a whole lot better about our club if I had the answers to these basic questions regarding our part in this.

1. Were we involved in the set up of this Super League from its inception?
2. If not, at what point were we approached about it?
3. Why did we feel joining a competition run by our enemies would be beneficial?
4. Did we ask for a member to be on the board?
5. Why are the vice chairmen all members of American owned Premier League clubs?
6. Were we told this is a one time only offer to be part of it? take it or leave it?
7. When were the Players / management made aware of this?
8. How do the players and the management feel about this?
9. Were our board in full support behind this or are we divided?
10. How do we know the rules will not be altered if we do actually join?
11. Would we actually be prepared to walk away from the Premier League if it came to it.
12. Crucially do we feel that we have been railroaded into this?

Mate, not even Mansour has the answers to all those questions!!!

Without the big 3 in Spain I'd say their League is staring into the Abyss!!

 

[Whitty1001]

How would we all feel if we did u turn with Chelsea? Can all be forgiven and forgotten?

 

[Bald fraud]

If Chelsea,and us were not overly enthusiastic.

Now is the time to rectify the mistake, rather than digging in.

It is not too late.

Damage done. We had the chance to completely change the way we are seen as a clu. 95% of fans in this country would have had our back for the first time since 2008 we’ve blown it! To go back now would make us even more pathetic!

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

scrap the idea and get City away from this diabolical decision , it s the most stupid idea i ve ever heard of.

Absolute Disgrace

 

[DMA's]

Without the big 3 in Spain I'd say their League is staring into the Abyss!!

I’d say without the top 6 in england we are facing exactly the same situation!

 

[Marvin]

Even if true the damage is done. Clubs reputation is in the toilet, back to the top of UEFA's shit list, pissed off the fans by not communicating.

Well a well worded statement that effectively torpedoes Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal plot would be well received.

They spent 2 years maybe more trying to kill us. Now lets kill them. And we can do this.

Invitees are one thing, architects another.

If we pull out and say ’yeah we fucked up‘ whilst There is still a chance of this failing I would respect the club hugely. Will we do that? Will we fuck

Phenomenal photo, credit to those who got there tonight.

This is an issue we can't stay silent on, we have to work together against this.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

I hope this is true. City should leave now not wait for Spurs.

Damage is done mate - just like the Liverpool furlough proposal, people remember..............

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

They went for the American franchise model too soon and now governments are involved. They’re fucked and it’s their own greedy fault.

You might be right that it’s all part of the plan and was foreseen. I don’t think so. We will see.

Too soon in PR terms . . . not in practical terms. Post-COVID, the Spanish clubs the and clubs in general are hurting. The J.P. Morgan loan(s) is (are) on offer at what I assume are attractive rates (with rates likely to go higher -- maybe much -- if economies recover post-COVID). I am curious as to the collateral (secured line of credit? I assume unsecured -- or do the stronger clubs guarantee the weaker clubs' debt?). Messi's on his last legs. RM needs a revamp. Spurs and Arsenal look to be miles behind regular way CL qualification. The American owners want the mostly closed shop idea because its the locked-in model here that creates unassailable product monopolies. So we start with this half-step -- semi-closed, five open slots -- that will inevitably morph into a fully-closed, full season league like in the US. Because that's what makes the owners the richest. Guaranteed revenue. No relegation. No competition. On the weekends. Brand name matches. There will I'm sure be a harsher salary cap eventually too.

Sky have got an utter **** who spits at children galloping round on a high horse telling us about the immorality of the Super League.

The lack of self awareness is mind blowing.

Sky staring down the barrel and oblivion beckons if this doesn't get kicked into the long grass. Hope those watching Neville et al understand that perhaps there is more at stake than just their love of us supporters.

 

[Marklr]

No, August apparently. The new CL revamp is 2024.

So are we getting kicked out of the Prem? If so.. what's the point in playing on Wed?

The globalisation of football can't be stopped, but some balance between the local and the global should be found. A big club today can't exist without a huge global audience and support, but football is also about local communities. It will take time before finding the right balance between the local roots of the big clubs and their global aspirations.

Well done lads and lasses

Will never be forgotten, but it's the right thing to so should be applauded if we do
