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

[jim tolmies perm]

Ultimately, City won't get control with the likes of Barca, Madrid and the history twins. They will always want more. Whether it's a bigger slice of the tv rights pie or something else, you can guarantee that if not at the start, then at some point in the future these four in particular will want to be more equal that the rest.

Don't think our owners ever wanted control
Just a fair crack

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

The staff are livid. Does seem it was a very late decision.

Interesting

COME ON CITY do the right thing

 

[kupest]

Thing is PL and UCL/EL are fucked without these 12 clubs. Their income goes down atleast 75%. No one is watching Villa vs Villareal in a CL semifinal. Issue is between this high stakes game of billionares and UEFA (who have come out taking the moral high ground, but are more corrupt), fans are suffering.

UEFA don't give a fuck, ESL don't give a fuck. Give me a Carabao Cup away game to Wimbledon and I would be happy watching that.
But I am also not falling for the stuff spouted by UEFA and other clubs acting as if they care for us. They don't.

You realise who is involved in that club? Usmanov who is another Abramovic / Mansour. Capital has penetrated every single football club.

We are being given an exit. Take it.

If we don't we will deserve everything we get.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The English clubs are key to all of this. Come on City, start the dominoes.

Please tell that twot Harris it is disdain, not distain!

 

[Akiva]

All 101 of the cheerleaders here probably haven't even sat down to think about Pep, the lads, the staff, pouring their hearts into making it to the CL semis, elevating the badge. The club has knifed them all in the back just when they needed our support the most, devaluing their accomplishments and showing they don't care one iota. Us fans must be different.

Please City, end this madness.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

COME ON CITY do the right thing

I second this. It's not too late

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Certainly wouldn’t be us. We’re not daft enough to commit to something like this without knowing all the ramifications of it. We went in knowingly in my view.

Or we're bluffing

 

[willipp]

And they’ll want a World Series of Soccer where they bring in a US team(s) and others from strong TV and sponsorship territories. It’ll happen!

Which is exactly what the 5 additional spts are for. They aren't for the likes of Ajax, Monchenglandbach, Benfica etc, they are for the likes of LA Galaxy, Beijing Reds and Mumbai FC.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The English clubs' money is key to all of this. Come on City, start the dominoes.

Just needed a wee correction there!

 

[Metal Biker]

It’s not too late City for fucks sake.

"others distain (sic)"

If that's not a direct plea to City I don't know what is.

The whole thing is farcical anyway.

The new Champions League is a proto-super league.

It will come with ramifications, but rather take that than this, agreed.

 

[WNRH]

i wouldnt feel sorry for the players,where is the players union in all this why has no one come out, milner yes but would he have done if he was 21 and at the start of his playing days,there all sat on the fence and will fall on the side the biggest dollar pile sits

Spot on. People applauding Klopp last night saying he came out and spoke out against it. He didn't, he nervously spoke fast trying not to say what he really wanted.

If Liverpool sacked him for speaking out, he's still a millionaire and he will still walk into a top club anywhere in the world. He should have come out and said what he wanted and truly felt. He should resign in protest.

History will judge those who were in positions to speak out rather than be complicit for the sake of £££. They are no different to the owners of all these clubs, thinking about £££ first than the health and future of the game.

Yeah pretty much this.

 

[BobKowalski]

He also said, "to the owners of SOME English clubs... gentlemen , you have made a huge mistake. It doesn't matter, everyone makes mistakes."

Yeah, so what is the counter offer? You want us back in the fold, you want us to abandon a franchise model and control of how it operates, you want us to pass on a £350m signing on fee? So what‘s your offer? A public finger wagging?

 

[Metal Biker]

decmancity will get his cock hard seeing City finish 10th every year in this great league whilst history clubs dominate

Yeah but think of all the money we'd make and the fact we'd be a Supa Leeg team!

We've made it boys, Real and Barca actually like us!

Please be City
