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

[Legacyfan1986]

The elephant in the room is players salaries. Out of control and unchecked. No one wants to address the obvious problem as to why a super league is necessary for the debt clubs to reclaim lost profits.

And then any of the 12 can go buy Haaland and Mbappe and pay them silly money. That **** riaola will be rolling in even more dough

Could only happen at City.

Real chance of getting to a Champions League Final.

And our own owners go and shoot us in the fucking Head. ffs.

Could be out officially by weekend,

No idea how that will really play out but one thing is for sure...

Every league game from here on out this season against the non-6 sides will result in a similar feeling as the Leeds-Liverpool match today. Every one of those teams will be giving extra effort now to stick it to us. Can’t say I blame them either.

Talk about a black swan event.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Our owners could be sat there now thinking what the fuck have we signed up for, incredible this.

League survived fine without the FAI and it will do again, all they've done since they took over was tie us to SSE (who to be fair have been fucking brilliant) there's a gang of us involved with Drogheda (me and 1 other really), Sligo, Limerick, Cork looking to break with the FAI and let the league govern itself again, few people we've spoken to at the Dublin clubs seem half interested, any support would be welcome. They're trying to push this cross border league and I can't help but think it's the wrong time and we'd be better off tying our own knots.

Get what you mean about the timing of a cross border league, but I had this discussion with my son. Football north and south is divided but shouldn’t be in my opinion.
Rugby is all Ireland.
GAA is all Ireland. Hockey too as far as I know.

Derek Dougan and Johnny Giles tried it in the seventies as far as I remember but got nowhere.

It would be nice to think it is possible, but Brexit tensions won’t have helped.

Anyway back on topic.
I hope City still have time to back out of this but it doesn’t look that way at the moment.

I think the coming weeks will shed a little light on details and what is true and what isn’t.

Our fantastic owners will have a plan. Look how they have conducted themselves since the takeover. Have a little faith.

Some very smart and competent people designed and built the Titanic. Established the Ratner’s jewellery empire. Or selected the only human being in America who could lose an election to Donald Trump.
It sometimes only takes one bad decision or someone having an off day to turn your entire world on its head...

He cant be serious

I agree it is self serving and it is selfish.

It's been heading this way for two decades, even longer. If this is a surprise to people then they haven't been paying attention.

Fans couldn't stop domestic clubs no longer splitting their gate receipts, we couldn't stop the creation of the Premier League, we couldn't stop the change from the European Cup to the Champions League, nor it's stupid coefficient and seeding system, nor could we stop FFP and we can't stop this.

The football community can go jump, it played it's part in this by happy clapping along with the above, they bought the lies peddled about City and FFP and supported their clubs voting for it.

I said I don't like it, but I could see where it was heading long ago.

Yup from the moment I was forced to listen to fuckin Baker Street by that shit cover band, I new football was on the slide.i just never thought my club would jump in bed with the two rags for the sake of extra cash

That’s what I’m hoping for that all this is to further expose them and then pull the rug from under them and bring this whole thing crashing down ... and then straight away put in a motion to get rid of Liverpool and Rags form the premier league ... that’d pass the same day unanimously by the 18 remaining.

Fortunately the rags will be in the same boat

 

[St.Pauli support]

What an arrogant self inflated prick.

He honestly thinks there is no interest in football outside of Spain.

I swear we have been railroaded in to this shit by the Spanish connections with Barcelona at our Club.

Out of all 6 Clubs we shouldn't have touched this project with a Mile long shitty stick.

Had we made a stand it would have cemented our status further with neutrals in the UK.

I honestly feel like we have committed corporate suicide.

Not only have we tarnished the brand,we become a Rag clone Club in a Super League where we will be treated like we should be forever grateful.

Wtf was we thinking.

Well, feels like we've been fooled. The mask has slipped.

I'd love a cross border league and have pushed in the past but after the shit with the Setanta and at the moment no, just no. If Drogheda and Dundalk can't be trusted when they play each other it has no hope going cross border.

If City don't back out I'm done with them.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Big time.

City has nothing to gain here. We will just become Spurs of this league. Pull out now

I remember the trump led nfl alternative super league thing that canned in the 90s and this has that kind of blueprint.

It is hard to go against governing bodies like the ICL found, they banned everyone taking part, then said to the players if you quit there will be an amnesty, so they all quit in the end and lasted 2 years. Not the same as it was a short comp and you could play and come back for your normal team, but the BCCI wanted to snuffed out for its IPL to have the sole stage and had ICC backing.

 

[wolviedinho]

Doing deals with Perez who just slagged us off. Hardly surprise people have reservations to put it midly!

I want to see the details first mate. Also I want to hear from the club as to why they felt the need to join the cabal.Emotional reactions are understandable at this moment in time. Once the details are out and the drama settles we can get a clearer picture. At the moment it seems a pantomime with a lot of unrealistic threats. A compromise will be found. The premier league will be fine. Football has been a corrupt joke for years. City fans know first hand how corrupt.

Only clubs with money, and those with American owners specifically have been invited to this, so it is obvious likes of Ajax, Porto, and others miss out. They aren't taking a stand, they simply aren't considered. German and French clubs have UEFA's backing all the way with their top club officials on UEFA's decision-making board. They have no urge to join ESL, but if it carries on and the plan comes to fruition, they will ultimately join.

Porto were invited, they turned it down and good on them I say.

Our fantastic owners will have a plan. Look how they have conducted themselves since the takeover. Have a little faith.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense could see the shit storm to follow on announcing a super league like that, apart from people who understand nothing of how football works.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I thought I’d seen everything until that. I have no words left.

City WTF is this?

So so sad. I’m out. Literally cannot believe it. Goodnight Blues.

 

[MCFC1993]

I'll take anything we can get right now, I hope Rodney's right.
