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

[west didsblue]

I still ask myself why they joined. The other clubs have very big debts - you can see that the owners or the banks played a very big role in that. But why City? What are the owners of City interested more? Recognition in Europe or Worldwide? The ESL is more focused on grabbing money from the international fans - not about recognition and public relations in Europe.

UEFA is a shitshow - not because of the idea of it but it the organisation that sucks. The biggest leagues and crowds do not have the influence they should have - one vote per country. So you always have the discrepancy between the countries/players/league that are important for the economical sides and pleasing the smaller countries because of their voting power.

But clubs did not leave because of big bad UEFA but because they got offered big money from banks if they join this movement.

FOMO

Right enough is enough. Time to bring out the big guns.

The only way to stop this is to threaten to send them that picture of Gail Platt sunbathing.

Made me lol

You are not massive if you haven't played basketball with Bugs Bunny

Did you know that Michael Jordan spent more than 3 years playing professional basketball in order to prepare for his role as a basketball player in Space Jam? Serious method actor.

 

[SWP's back]

So you’d rather go back to UEFA with begging hands to be bummed again at some point than move forward into another idea that we could benefit from?
Obviously it needs tweaking with regards competition and fairness for all but fuck me id rather go back too league 2 than pander too anything UEFA wants.

Yes, I’m one of the 94% of real legacy football fans that can see further than the end of my nose.

Now I don’t know you but I’d bet that you’re under 25 and/or not from Manchester or the North West.

General sports washing and soft power.

A week is a long time in football politics.

We're not even past day one.

 

[St.Pauli support]

When it comes to billions of pounds being on the line, they ought to be going over the contracts with a fine tooth comb every time they do something that might possibly get you sued big time.

What I have experienced in big business, deciders figure out ALL options in a scenario analysis before they make a decision and once they did, they stick to it.
It's in the blood of deciders.

This is the legit official Super League Twitter account (there’s a link to it on their website). People are reporting it for impersonation.... for impersonating the Champions League haha!

Yep, seems like it's probably no more complex than that.

fucking hell UEFA- we want to protect football from a selfish clan,,thats a little rich

 

[BLUEMATT23]

How the hell has there been another 130 pages since my break at 11!? Anything significant happened?

Garry Cook is back on board!

 

[unlikelyfan19]

this is a horrible take on sports in america

Agreed. MLS is actually quite fun. I love the playoff system, it's affordable, and it's growing every year.

 

[Steve68]

of course they do! Self interest again! If they really cared they kick us and the other five out!

It takes 15 votes to throw a club out. Hence the 6 Premier teams.

 

[danielwood5]

Every single press conference has a first bit and then an embargoed bit. Every single one. It’s so the print media can release some bits as exclusives in the following mornings paper that most people won’t have heard immediately reported on the news the previous day.

I genuinely didn't know that was the reason!

 

[Fred_Quimby]

It’s all about the money says Neville, shearer et al who are on £100ks, FIFA who have expanded the World Cup, UEFA who have done the same with the Euros and didn’t cancel them during a pandemic, says the PL who wouldn’t cancel last season. F..king hypocrits the lot of them.

I’m guessing we’re probably out of the running for Team of the Year at SPOTY...

General sports washing and soft power.

Well that, but also to enhance his brand and make money. Surely we're all not naive enough too recognize that?

This isn't directed at you but in general thread is becoming quite toxic. Nobody (well 95%) supports this idea but we're all blues. Too many people taking their anger out wherever and on whoever, too many people living in glass houses throwing stones. Myself included probably.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Pep bottled it just like Klopp. Understandable but disappointing.

Eh?

 

[Akiva]

So clubs in, owners out?

At the minute, I'm sure many Blues would take the Sheikh selling off and the club heading for obscurity over this Super League bullshit.

Alternatively they mean the Glazers and Henry, greedy cunts to a man, who organised and coerced the whole thing to line their own pockets.

Ser Marcus & Captain Hendo posting within 10 minutes of each other.

Their PR campaigns have sprung into life.

Good on them, they've got my support.
