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

[Blue Llama]

That's not going to work. Look at the table now: Do Leicester, West Ham, Everton go into the CL, or into the EL, even though they are above the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool? That is not a good product to sell to TV.

Lots of UK clubs have loaned against future TV revevue, so they'll be shitting themselves right now. Revenue is going to fall anyway for the PL because there isn't going to be more TV money overall, it will be redistributed to the SL from the national leagues and the CL. The fortuneless fourteen aren't going to be happy about City et.al. getting any of the PL money.

I think we're screwed if UEFA don't blink, both as a club and a sport because it will make UEFA untouchable.

And I think we're screwed if they do. Can you see City being allowed to win this Super League?

Why will the PL suffer the club's involved with the SL will still be playing in the PL.?

I’m really not sure why you’d want that either mate - the UEFA proposal is as bad as the ESL.

There really isn’t a ‘right option’ on the table at the moment, whichever side we went with.

The whole sorry thing is about the Rags, Dippers, Milan, Real and Barcelona. Most in fucking debt, or have owners who just bleed them dry. They want absolutely guaranteed European competition money. That's all this is about. They'll probably end up cutting a ridiculous deal with those corrupt wankers at UEFA.

 

[RobinHood]

Looks like they won't be involved either.

But, unfortunately, support the new CL format also.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I simply can't believe that city have used a quote from Glazer and man utd on their own website to try justifying city supporting the super league. Beyond sickening. Shameful. Spineless.

It's been the same on every clubs website , not just City's.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

The BBC News headline is that ministers are to do anything to block new league. No specifics but bashing greedy football clubs are easy PR wins for politicians. I don't think this will happen.

If City signed up at the very last moment then it suggests we have misgivings so exit it.

The first news I heard when it broke was that City had agreed in principle. I am hearing rumours of both Chelsea and City being told at the last minute about the breakaway, and the deal being join or be left behind.

I hope it is true and we've gone ahead with a rushed decision because in the cl;ear light of day it is looking like a very bad idea

 

[Coljj]

Here goes Neville appealing to City to drop out.

 

[malg]

At least the Champions League is merit based and not a closed shop.

Seriously???? Merit based? It's as bent as the SL.

Two cheeks of the same arse

Precisely mate!

All this talk of the option we took stitching up the league is way too simplistic - we had a choice between two corrupt, greed-driven, self-serving proposals, both of which stitched the league up.

There is no morally upstanding option in this scenario.

 

[abu13]

yes their competition their rules (which they can make up as they go along)

And the big question is what happens if you fail these rules, what is to stop them creating a new set of FFP rules designed to make us fail?
Who regulates this, who gets to look at the books?

Can a team be expelled from the league even if they are a founding member and if so where do they then go to?

 

[Eccles Blue]

Forgive me:

THE FANS IN BLUE NEVER GIVE IN, THEY FIGHT TO THE END. Come on Blues, I'm not sure how we can fight this but if either the OSC, 1894 or City Matters comes up with something let's get behind them please.

 

[MCFC1993]

But, unfortunately, support the new CL format also.

They have no choice, you have to back the better option for now and then work on it afterwards.

 

[Academica]

Because Real, Barca have already higher revenue and will get bigger slice of cash.

Real apparently get the most.

Some people still think it's all going to be equal and our new besties will look after us, deluded.

 

[Ric]

Fair play to Milner.

 

[HolisticJim]

The FFP that Neville backed City over and said it was a disgrace?

True with Neville, you're right but you get my sentiment and upset.

Everybody is outraged but 99.9% of these people crying over a closed shop are the same people who were advocates of FFP which started that closure.

How many times has Klopp brought up money and City but now wants to say it should be fair.... FFP isn't fair ffs.

 

[simon23]

Don't forget the £300m grants that Utd, Barca and RM will get for their ground redevelopments that they won't have to fund

doesnt everyone get those grants however ?

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Gary Neville is spot on about us. City do the right fucking thing and pull out right now

 

[Fordyboy46]

We were a year out of Europe despite all our lawyers. This proposed competition starts in 22/23. I don’t fancy a year of no league or cup games, with all our players suspended from international football on top.

This could get very nasty.

I think they'll actually start it this August my friend, probably at an even more advanced stage than anyone is aware of

 

[johnnytapia]

That's not how it works, the historical spots are additional, so they both would qualify and even the historical spots were only added to appease the 'super' clubs.

It's shite but better than the 'super' league.

Why should any team get rewarded for past success? Horse shit.

 

[joe123]

Hate agreeing with Neville but he’s spot on there about us. We’ve literally no need to do this and it’s the antithesis of ‘the project’.
