Now we know what it’s really about. Whats to stop them pulling this stunt on us some stage?
Rule change and commercial contracts? I don’t think that’s applicable here.Clubs have the opportunity to propose new rules or amendments at the Shareholder meeting. Each Member Club is entitled to one vote and all rule changes and major commercial contracts require the support of at least a two-thirds vote, or 14 clubs, to be agreed. https://www.premierleague.com/about
Sorry if will
Quite right. I hoped our owners had more brains to sniff out this yankee fox hunt. We are now at the mercy of everyone who worked against us since that wonderdul day in 2008.We have been played like a fiddle by united, liverpool and the spanish clubs. Absolutely played like a fiddle.
we have just voted to remove our position as one of the most powerful clubs in the uk, with a future that only contains good news, and instead voted to make ourselves literally subservient to United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Juventus and Madrid.
We’ve gone from winning 50% of the next 8 or 10 titles as well as god knows how many domestic cups to finishing mid table at best in this new league as there is no way the clubs that have been trying to cripple us for 10 years will suddenly now treat us as equals.
Played like a fiddle.
And the worst thing is, we weren’t just out manoeuvred - we bloody voted for it.
Voted to give our 5 biggest enemies in world football literal control over us.
How can ANY blue be anything other than 100% opposed to this?
If that’s true then that’s a Big hit. Effectively an indefinite transfer ban.This definitely isn’t going ahead now.
I think they’ve misjudged the backlash they would get for this.
Tory government now saying they’ll ban foreign transfers and won’t allow clubs to obtain visas for players.
We’ve certainly been outmanoeuvred.We have been played like a fiddle by united, liverpool and the spanish clubs. Absolutely played like a fiddle.

It’s the worst thing imaginable, but in terms of City being as strong a force as we are right now, there was no option that saw us maintain that. City are done as the big force in England. The only way to keep that would have been to know somehow that it would fail. City’s competitiveness is reduced whether we are in or out. What a shit few days, I am thoroughly depressed by it all. Football, or more specifically City, has always been my escape. I was struggling as it was with a decreasing interest in the modern game, then this happens.We have been played like a fiddle by united, liverpool and the spanish clubs.

Yeah...I'm fuming.
This is what has irked me all day today.Reading between the lines it looks like several of the founder members were in shit creek financially and probably couldn’t sustain losses for too much longer.
This is a lifeline for them which makes our joining even worse.
Had we held our nerve we would have had every chance of being the top team/club in Europe for the next decade due to our financial stability.
Now it looks like we are going along with the ride only to be shoved in the back seat and told to keep our mouths shut.
and me feel sick to the bottom of my stomach, if this goes through I am finished with football and City Shame shame Fd up worldMe too.
Does this even feel like he's talking about us?
They're only looking after themselves, simple as. What about when half of La Liga goes bust when you leave Florentino?
