Imagine....
no one is thrown out of the Prem, the FA cup, League cup, uefa cups...
But the prem and FA clamp down on spending and really go to town with FFP!
All the millions in the World won`t mean a thing if we can`t outspend the rest!
The trouble with going to war is that there are always alternative battle plans.
To date we have fought a few hard battles and come out on top but this seems mighty dangerous to me. Backs to the wall and all that!

Yep and if there’s one owner who can afford it...
Still hoping against hope that City and maybe Chelsea belatedly wake up and bring down this American house of cards

I’m hoping we do this too.
If Chelsea and us fold its game over.
We can still save face.

Exactly. Interesting that these quotes are only to be found on twitter? I smell bullshit.

I certainly hope so.
If we have signed a contract before the details have been finalised or the competition has even been formed then we'd be absolute idiots.
I cannot believe the people running this club would be that stupid, lawyers would surely advise them against it even if they were thinking of signing.
 
Who on here was hoping that they were wrong and this ESL was a slick operation that reluctantly we could live with?

Then the President appears opens his mouth and you thought “Oh no this is not like Khaldoon at all...it’s an idiot”

These Perez quotes have taken me to a whole new level of depression. Football used to be everything to me, it’s over. I have a 1 year old son and like most Dads I had been dreaming of the day I can take him to see City. It’s such a big father-son moment right? Taking your boy to experience your passion. Now I’m not even sure that will even happen. I don’t know how to properly describe how I’m feeling right now but it’s a long time since I’ve been this low. What even is this version of Manchester City?

That's really sad mate. Like you say, taking your son to his first game should be a moment to enjoy together. I remember my first game well, we lost 3-1 and there were Swales Out protests afterwards. I couldn't wait to go back, I'd never experienced anything like it!

There's many things that aren't right about the plans for the Super League (the name for a start. I keep thinking people are talking about Rugby League). But the fact no one at the club has had the decency to address the fans is disgusting. Their silence is deafening. City might not have been the ones who planned this, but we are complicit and that makes us just as bad.

One thing that has struck me about this is the cliche that football clubs are just play things for billionaire owners. They're not, they are serious businesses and the owners want to monetise absolutely everything they can as part of that.

It's laughable that they claim the pandemic was bad for them, it wasn't. TV companies replaced fans with sound effects and the target demographic for this abomination probably didn't even notice the difference as they occasionally looked up from their phones, tablets etc.

I've followed City through thick and thin and more recently some truly incredible moments, and despite plenty of almighty cluster fucks during that time I've never been ashamed of the club, until now.
