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

[Deleted member 77198]

They can fuck off the hypocritical letter signers, they'd have jumped straight into bed with them too if asked. I agree that it should be stopped though.

Everton didn't sign that letter

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Many said the same about Bayern and PSG too, yet they stood firm.

Those cases are completely different. PSGs owners need FIFA to be on side for the World Cup and Bayern need fan approval to push it through so cant just jump in.

 

[paulchapo]

Apparently, the teams will be picked on "Merit" whatever the fuck that means

Probably somebody like Newcastle or West Ham. A big fan base, decent stadiums but no threat to the cartel. Ideal.

 

[Bill Walker]

I'm a plastic fan in Australia.
Please pull out City.

Fair play to Neville I sometimes don’t like him but he spoke well and passionately.

 

[Akiva]

He is here to make money. This deal makes more money than ever before and that is exactly the reason they bought us.

Surely you don't think Khaldoon cares about the club in any way the same way we do as fans?

So he's as much a **** as the Glazers, Perez, Kronke etc - despite his great efforts to demonstrate otherwise - that much is abundantly clear.

That doesn't somehow make this a good direction for City and almost certainly not a good direction for football. If you're saying that it's the Sheikh finally cashing in, then ok, but there's plenty of reasons why the club itself should want to get the hell out while they still can (or before the government pushes)

Everton didn't sign that letter

Are you sure?

They are pissed they weren't invited.

Didn't give a shit about the integrity of the pyramid when they were hatching the Premier League.

When the pyramid was still in exactly the same meritocratic place it had been previously? This is completely different to then

Pep is asking we put something out today, he's rightly pissed about the timing.

What could we say? Or do you mean withdraw?

 

[waspish]

Yesterday I was dead against this. Having read more about it, seen how upset those c#nts at UEFA and the FA are, the faux vested interest anger of tw#ts like Neville and spit. The hilarity of newspaper hacks like winter banging on about "grass roots", which they don't cover.
The irony of Gary "he looks a good player doesn't he Al?? "I believe you noticed something Jermaine" 1M a year Lineker talking about greed; I'm not so sure.

spot on they are all hypocrites and uefa are a corrupt organisation!

 

[Don Corleone]

Does Pep have a press conference today, or did he do it after the Chelsea game on Saturday?

 

[SPIDERBOY]

But it won't fuck anyone over, they will just shrug their shoulders, probably take us to court for the deal we signed up for and get someone in to replace us. We get left pissing in the wind and having to grovel to UEFA before we end up with no european football and the squad puts in a transfer request.

Just wild guessing mate.....I'm lost with it all.

Rightly so
If we pulled out before Villa I'm convinced we'd see a stella performance

 

[onceabluealways]

Is there the same h as tired for this in Spai and Italy? Not seen anything from them

 

[Keeper!]

The Yanks are deluded and unfortunately, in my opinion, Khaldoon and Soriano have massively misjudged this.

The growing unity of the people and football institutions against this can’t be ignored, all it takes is one club to back out for it to unravel and I hope it’s City.

I get why City have joined in fear of being left behind, but I hope they are realising in hindsight that if they had originally refused then there was no way that this would go ahead.

Exactly this, Ferran I could understand, I said earlier, I simply don't think he gets the English mentality to football and it's clubs, but Khaldoon, I feel so let down by this guy, I always believed he was genuine, did the right thing, but it appears at this moment he is no different from the other money crazy lot, they are just snake oil salesmen in nice suits.

Bayern don't actually need fan approval despite them being in Germany, look who owns the shares in their club, sponsor ownership takes them well over the required amount.

What they have done is took a stance for their fans.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Are you sure?

Yes, it was United Liverpool Arsenal Chelsea Spurs... plus Leicester Burnley Wolves (who then retracted their signature from it) and then Newcastle who added their name later.

Everton having their say

We have the initial twelve.

That leaves eight spaces. For who? Not Bayern, Dortmund, PSG or Porto. Presumably no other clubs from Portugal, France or Germany. So who's getting the last eight?

Ajax? Doubt the birthplace of Cruyff would be up for this. The lower down the list you go the more laughable it gets. Celtic? Club Brugge? Salzburg?

Half this "Super League" is going to be clubs who haven't a hope in hell of winning it. Competition my arse.

Can people stop making ridiculous comments about foreign owners moving teams to the other side of the world. Have the Glazers moved the Buccaneers away from Tampa Bay ? No. The Buccaneers are still in Tampa Bay where they've been since they entered the NFL in 1976. None of the teams in ESL, if it ever happens - and hopefully it never will, will be moving.
