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

[Coatigan]

It's less than a year that City got wind of the letter from the Premier League top nine asking UEFA to ensure we did not drag out our court case.

It came from the same chambers. I don't believe for a second that Khaldoon hasn't forgotten stuff like that.

He has just added his name to the next letter.

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

We don't have to send Pep out though. It isn't fair on him this

Khaldoon walks through the curtain WWE style, whips off his shades and says FUCK THE ESL, FUCK UEFA AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FUCK MAN UNITED *mic drop*

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Khaldoon should be doing this press conference. It’s not like there’ll be any questions on the team or the Villa game anyway.

He prefers a nice risk-free, pre-recorded cosy chat with Chris Bailey.

Only in the hundreds? I wouldve thought it'd be in the thousands

I don't even know how I would cancel my membership, none of us have season tickets this year so what are we cancelling?

The Super League as currently constructed is shit but the current iteration of the Champions League is also mostly shit, and UEFA is definitely shit, except they manage to make billions of euros despite their incompetence. If the end product of all this will be a better European competition (not the current one) which cuts out UEFA that's ok in my book.

Don't be so sure, the Yank are so out of touch with British sport it's untrue, don't forget rounders is a major sport in the good old US of A

 

[Legacyfan1986]

If and when SL collapses, I do wonder whether the US owners will look to leave the football clubs as cash cow is unlikely to bear fruit.

Cant keep drawing dividend with the level of debt they are all carrying.

I would really fucking hope so. Go invest in your MLS and buy every player ubwant. Let the scorched earth of european football heal and regrow with home grown coefficients and a salary cap. Let the greedy fuck off stateside if they want.

Your chance to win a signed Karen Bardsley shirt

I've completed the right to delete data form on the website, which gives you an option to leave a comment too...

If the government are serious about the 50+1 model, City would have the most to lose from this. I'm not saying that at 51% fan run City would be a bad thing, but out of all the owners in the Premier League, we have got by far the best (if they climb down on the ESL).

I'm not sure our owners would stick around if their interest was capped at 49%.

City+

I've just cancelled mine

 

[Mike Cledford]

SSN just read out an open letter from the Burnley chairman. He likes writing letters doesn’t he?

Is he announcing a change of club policy by having players that do not all look like big white farm boys?

 

[Hampy1970]

This is definitely City.

Embarrassing if that's the case. If the owners/management have only just realised they will alienate fans then they are incompetent, ignorant and divorced from reality.

A previous poster said city + which is just a club tv subscription

 

[Long Slow Goodbye]

Great. Our owners throwing our manager into the lions.

Fucking pathetic.

After 5 years of throwing him £20m a year, a £1b squad etc, I think it’s the least Pep can do.

He’ll be fine.

 

[adrianr]

I want us to be the club that pulls out - as we all do

But lets get one thing straight as well. If we do decide to do the right thing and leave this ESL proposal then we need to make sure that there are reforms at UEFA bot institutionally and with its competition

UEFA should not in any way shape or form be seen as a good guy in all of this, they have ultimately led European football into this saga buy giving away power every year, piece by fucking piece to the old G14 mafia

This is one of the most galling things about all of this. The status quo alternative to the ESL is absolutely fucking shite. UEFA needs top to bottom reform if it's to stave off this threat indefinitely.

You mean the execs that brought you the Tunnel Club and moved out long terms fans to do so.

 

[hihosilva]

It will be interesting to hear Peps stance on this.

They definitely wouldn't stick around if the 51% were 'legacy fans'. They've made it clear how little they think of us.

I've been saying this since the announcmeent, the alternative that has been presented by UEFA is a fucking pisstake. It's just total 'staus quo' bollocks.
