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

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

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

that’s such a lame excuse though.
Scared of not joining because we’d get less money. It’s pathetic

 

[MikeF]

Have you looked at the Prem table recently?

Ha yeah true but that’s what that the co-efficient bullshit that uefa are proposing on introducing in the champions league.

 

[decmancity]

What did Milner say?

Forfeiting his wages for the rest of the season. He can’t possibly accept such tainted money.

 

[John Wayne]

Klopp crying about Neville commenting on other clubs. Did I imagine him commenting on our CAS verdict?

 

[Beanhead]

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

If the rumours are true that both City and Chelsea are wobbling on whether to break away, Neville will be all over it as he knows if one or both drop out and it’s dead. Obviously he wants to protect his job and livelihood which this would seriously jeopardise but as much as he is a smarmy little rat.. he’s a football man and loves the game. He seems proper narked with his own club and the dippers as let’s be honest, those and the Spanish Giants have the most to gain (or not lose) especially in the immediate term.

That is not saying we are not guilty.. as just being involved is totally unacceptable.

 

[manchester blue]

What did Milner say?

I’m off to paint my fence rather than watch that shit.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

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 imaging Pep and the players are too pleased.

I think pep could end up walking.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Spitty and Ratboy getting messages in their ear pieces...

Sky Statement was pretty shit too, It never mentioned two critical points:

Never mentioned that they will not show Super League games.

Never mentioned that they strongly oppose to it.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Klopp is right it’s not their fault, it’s the greedy owners, so all coaches and players when asked should say it’s shit and fuck our owners.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

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.

United, Liverpool and Arsenal are all scared of other owners that aren’t afraid to invest, Spurs are skint and desperate, City and Chelsea will be missing out on huge amounts of revenue if we don’t take up the chance to follow the rest. Every premier league club has a reason to sign up to it, but that’s still no excuse for them.

 

[stan bowles]

Klopp blasting into Neville

 

[Fordyboy46]

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.

Don't think he'll talk about it mate, our attention is on Villa only will be his narrative

 

[inchy14]

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

Yes most of us would but then if they develop they’ll be snatched away and we’ll end up with inferior players.
We need to do all we can to stop it going ahead in the first place.

 

[we are the east stand]

Klopp calling out Neville big time...

 

[ScottSinclair]

What did Milner say?

"obviously" about 347 times

But also that he didnt lile the SL and hopes it wouldnt go ahead

 

[Chris B]

It says a lot that they’ve stopped us being able to see who has voted Yes.

I voted yes, not due to any great love for the concept but because I’d rather see City in it, if it’s going ahead, than locked out of the continent’s biggest competition for all time.

Really, a binary choice isn’t enough to properly give a rounded view on it. I’d have ticked a box saying I’d be most happy if it didn’t go ahead at all, but that wasn’t an option.

Would you like to see a future world where rags, dippers, et al are in this competition, and have wheedled their way back into the premier league, while city are stuck in second rate European competitions that no one watches?

 

[SidJames]

I agree with Neville.

Not surprised with the 2 red teams owner.

Ours though had put so much money in to re-development in East Manchester,and are very image conscious.

I honestly believe we did it for the right reasons(We thought we would miss the Boat),even though they are the wrong reasons.And fully didn't anticipate this fall out.

Not making excuses,i just think there are 2 thought processes going on in this shit show.

Rags,and scousers,Arsenal, = greed,greed,greed.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

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.

The seeding still reads like a stitch up to me, so I’m really not convinced their option is any better for the integrity of the National Leagues than the ESL.

They both fucking stink, as far as I can see!

 

[yankblue]

Klopp blasting into Neville

About what?

 

[City_Sean]

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.

I understand this point totally and us having investment from Silver Lake and China also means that our board probably couldn't turn this down.

Regardless that doesn't change the fact for me that this club has become what we've despised. Clubs with a perceived sense of entitlement acting as if they're the only importance in the footballing landscape. We've just jumped into bed with the people who've spent the past few years trying to tarnish our achievements.
