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

[MCFC1993]

So now some the fans for the top 6 who are against the new CL formula (this is the reality) blame each other for this outcome loool, An arsenal Fan blaming City for this outcome because of " moneybags" in 2008 hh

Technically it is our fault.

We had the gall to challenge the elite, they tried and tried to keep us out but we won...then we lost by climbing into bed with them.

He's doing his usual I'm rich so I know best bollocks

One question I've never seen answered..

If Simon Jordan is so savvy, super intelligent, an incredibly successful businessman, and understands football and football politics inside out...... why is he co-presenting every day on a bit of a shitty radio station with Jim fuckin White? lol

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Apologies if it's been mentioned above (this thread is moving bloody fast), and I might be looking in the wrong place, but the announcement about the ESL on the official website isn't there anymore.

It still exists, they've just piled loads of other stories after it to push it onto page 2.

Club Statement regarding Super League Competition

Twelve of Europe’s leading football clubs have today come together to announce they have agreed to establish a new mid-week competition, the Super League, governed by its Founding Clubs.

Short memories on here. Uefa tried to destroy city. Fuck me wake up people.

The cartel of the big clubs pressured UEFA, big , big difference, the same clubs we are now in the dirty and wet bed and we are not even getting sloppy seconds, Perez statement earlier shows we are getting rodgered to death.

Chelsea and City are also in huge 'debt', not to a bank but to the individuals that own us. You don't think Roman and Sheikh Mansour want some return on that one day? this is a chance to bank hundreds of millions in one go. Exactly the pay day that these men are used to and you think they are going to turn it down?

Same people on here crying about this are also on the transfer forum demanding Haaland, Nuno Mendes, Messi and Mbappe and think Sheikh Mansour should keep pulling his credit card out.

Bullshit... City are solvent (google it).. We needed the initial cash injection but HRH could walk away tomorrow and the club would stand on its own two feet as a viable business...

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

This has proved, if there was any doubt anyway, HRH was in it purely for the investment opportunity, money makes money.

I honeetl think you are overestimating how much of a shite the sheikh gives about any of this - he has plenty of other people to do the worrying for him.

Do you think the Queen does her own tax return?

Spurs probably need the money from this more than any of the other English teams.

after borrowing the money for the new stadium they will be happy participants in all this, I'd be guessing JPM are also pushing for them to join so they get their loans back quicker

Yeah, probably edging insolvency with a big loan to the Bank of England pending pay back

You need to wake up. It was the shower of bastards in the Super League who tried to destroy City using UEFA.

 

[worsleyweb]

Spurs in a super league?? They have a nice stadium but haven’t won the league for 61 years? Some sort of joke?

Hannibal Lecter ate people but they worked with him because they had to stop something far worse.

 

[momo88]

How much money has the club lost to finance the player's to elevating the badge? It was 126M over the pandemic wasn't it?

At some point owners have to decide if they are a charity or a business.

Bloody spot one the staff and the players are and were not paid with pennies to defend the so called football tradition but with too pound, the club is not a sharity.

And those who count on the players to strike, yeah they will strike if their pocket is hit.

The players of top leagues get paid a lot of money, maybe because it is offer and demand, the club behave the same offer and demande

Each league has to have a comedy club.

He's already made his money back in spades with an asset worth far more than he has invested. I don't think Sheikh Mansour needs his money in cash to be honest.

UEFA tried to destroy us mainly because of the teams we joined the ESL with!

The battlefield looks different this morning.

Retreat!

 

[Sir peace frog]

With regards to what Tolmie posted, just imagine if this agreement in principle from ourselves was hatched with us to then leak the intention of its creation, forcing the instigators to resign and leave their UEFA/ECA positions, show the clubs involved true colours to the world

All whilst still meeting with ceferin to say - we are not the enemy, look at what your supposed glory clubs have done

We then pull out leaving this lot pissing into the wind

fingers crossed

I can't find tholmies post, what did it say

 

[Cityzen_89]

We are the only debt free club joining this shambles. It wasn't designed for us. It was designed for poorley run clubs to get a guarenteed income and a regular taste of football that they neither deserve nor have the quality to compete in.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Take it immediately.

Unless we want to be irrelevant in this new global league and watch Real and Barca dominate

Problem is, we become even more irrelevant than we previously were, going back with tail between our legs to UEFA.

Tebas in now on their payroll and he was gunning for us even before this breakaway.

This is about taking power away from Uefa. It comes to something when they can claim the moral high ground at present.

Damned if we do, damned if don't.

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!

Completely agree Gary.
With US owners at the head of this it’s only a matter of time.
Streaming, (cutting the cord or connected TV as they term it) is gathering huge pace in the US.
I would imagine Amazon would be all over this when US clubs have a chance to compete.
