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

[Academica]

We will see. Imagine still having Little City syndrome the day after joining a Super League with Barcelona and Real Madrid. Deluded.

They have already talked about some shit 15% for some bollocks and you can guarantee that won't be for us. If you think the yanks won't shaft us at the 1st opportunity when they have trying for years you have a lot more faith than me.

Football needs one almighty big shake up, far too many fingers in the pie.

Well said. To be honest it's probably the best part for a long time. Oh, and the fingers all have Stars and Stripes on then....

 

[domalino]

Fuck it, I'd rather stay in the prem and play Delap, Palmer, Doyle etc than have some superstars sign for the shitty superleague

Delap and Palmer and Doyle would be gone in 6 months.

Look at our players from Benfica. Bernardo Silva, bought before he played a game. Dias gone at 22, Cancelo gone at 18, Ederson gone after less than a year.



That's the best you can hope for.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Would be nice if the club would enlighten us a little bit on the situation instead of leaving us in the dark, They are treating us like shit.

 

[WandV]

Would the club listen to fans opinion ?
If they saw 90% of us were against it would it make a difference?
Cant see it myself

clubs listen to what they want to listen to. This says 87% of city fans support this project, as well as 71% french people lool wich is obviously untrue, but this study was paid and delivered. It even says a majority of dortmund fans support this idea....
When our big clubs talk about fans, they dont talk about the annoying crowd that lives in paris or manchester, who moans about the ticket price, who protest when team sucks etc..no, they talk about the worldwide fans in asia, america etc. Your opinion is like toilet paper for them.
The opinion of a malaysian fan is in that moment more important to them.

Did anyone have the decibel transition fir these idiots?
All I heated was Scouse screach and bury balls not yet broken.

 

[kupest]

Whoever has signed this shit and Mendy can fuck off.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Thread going so fast that it's difficult to keep up. My question is ; Have we officially left the ECA yet?

 

[citymad]

I get why the Spanish and Italian clubs want it as they’re financially fucked but try as I might I really don’t understand why any of the premier leagues are involved.

Can understand why the rags and dippers have got their teeth into this being owned by Americans as we all know how they love franchise sports. The mystery is, is why the others got involved.Didnt they take notice of the backlash when the dippers and rags first spoke about this change last year ?

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Who's to say our signature isn't already on a legally binding document filed with the ESL ? It could be a lot more difficult than just announcing we've had change of mind.

We will be well on board with it. The fact city didn't link the statement on the OS last night to any social media channels because they knew the shitstorm they would get and we are now meant to believe they will back out because of the backlash.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

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.

I've been thinking this is the best chance to kill this super league but what can the Government actually do? I'm sure there are a few things, but apart from taxing the fuck out of these clubs esl income and denying work permits to future overseas transfers what can be done?

Waiting for it to die down
Long wait.....

American owners have driven this in the U.K. that’s why, Glazers, Fenway, Kronke they want an NFL style league, who knows maybe the winner will be called World Champions!

 

[Marvin]

I just find it totally abhorrent. We're all City fans and we know better than the rest where we've come from. To see our name as a founding member of an elitist competition that's closed off to the rest of the footballing landscape isn't the club I've spent my life supporting.

We've been let down, big time.

The architects of this scheme are the ones who should be blamed.

City are invited. What do you do as a club exec? Do you turn it down in which case your club will be on the outside forever disadvantaged, or do you say yes and face universal hostility.

I think you judge it on whether it is likely to succeed. If it is then you have to be in it because the old game will die. if you think it's a dead proposition then you stay out, especially if it's going to carry costs.

Good point

1. The clubs are flying a kite - designed to force UEFA to come up with something radical -more radical than their proposed revamp, but the outcry has reduced the clubs' bargaining power.
2. UEFA is part funded by the member associations effectively formed by the member clubs to administer the game.
3. The Arsenals and Milans of this world - once great but have slipped away - see this as a way to get back to the top table.
4. Everyone is getting carried away without knowing the detail of how the cash will be divided up - I wish I knew the detail - the lack of detail is an own goal.
5. The Super League won't happen - a compromise will be reached.

 

[Del_Bosque]

I think it's pretty certain Pep is going to say he's in favour of it at tomorrows presser, as it's his mates who've signed up for it.

And he's likely to be at that point the first person really to come out in favour so will be the one who gets the pelters.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Seriously are people genuinely this blind? They're passionate for Sky. If they were passionate they'd have slagged off the CL bollocks about history teams. FFS.

they addressed this point.

 

[malg]

My fear is that they’ve got us by the bollocks if we renege on joining it

You can't

Have you looked at the Prem table recently?

There was a good post a while back showing how many seasons the Rags, Dippers, and Arsenal had missed out on CL money (or football).....very telling.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Sorry if this has already been raised. I just read on the BBC that two high ranking UEFA officials are saying we will definitely be kicked out of this season’s Champions League, maybe even as early as the end of this week.

I hope our owners feel their decision was worth it. I cant imagine Pep and the players are too pleased.

Btw, just watching Klopp. He’s clearly been got at by his paymasters.
