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

[Andy Conway]

This 4D chess stuff might have been believable if our new head of communications wasn't Joel fucking Glazer.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Things that don’t make sense:
Pep railing about lack of competition two days after we have signed up to a league that embeds that.
Noises that we have come to this late in the day and been coerced into signing up when the President of this breakaway league says binding contracts have been signed. (That would surely have taken months of negotiation)
Bayern Munich being outside this.
Our owners throwing away all the hard won respect and not fronting up to why.

I have to say I am struggling with any reason or logic to this.

We wont be the first english club to say anything , sitting back and let others take the flack

You can “kill it” for the 6 playing in this country and tie them up in so much red tape that it’ll make it impossible for them.
Tax and work permits are 2 very simple ones and they could change laws to make it even harder, knowing they’ll get the backing from the rest of football.
Easy votes.

Jesus, have you actually heard yourself. Some of the comments on here are full on herd hysteria.

 

[Coatigan]

THey have done it.

There'll be legalling binding agreements. You can't just wake up one day and think, oh I'll think I will have a change of scene.

Who cares anyway. Football was well down this route anyway. What is the difference between the new format CL and the ESL. Just a small matter of degree

30 day cooling off period surely!

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Haha, quite.

It's popular in Greece and Spain I believe, just interested to know how it impinged upon the domestic leagues and do they play their full teams for domestic games or rest for the SL.

its very popular across countries like them and eastern europe.

Shame never really got the investment over here

Neither we nor Chelsea were part of this deal - originally.

Our - and Chelsea's - biggest mistake - is misjudging just how unpopular the Superleague would be. Instinct told both clubs not to participate - but under pressure both clubs agreed to join.

Rue our management on these terms if you will - but it's miles apart from the complicity of the owners of the scum and of the scouse - who were -and are - 100% backers of the Superleague.

come off it mate. Such lame excuses trying to defend the club

somehow Bayern and Dortmund weren’t forced into it... we had a choice and we choose money and greed

Just trying to get a reaction a clicks the sad bastards! You don't see Leicester doing it from last season because it will just upset one of the red shirts. But with us it will gain a better audience and clicks!

They're taking the piss.

Out shopping for a new yacht.

In the edit suite frantically cutting shit loads of stuff out of his end of season video.

Perez is chatting nonsense, no paperwork has been sent off yet.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

People might scoff at this but I’m starting to think we’re not going to hear from the owners at all. At this rate, this tournament is simply going to happen without any sort of presentation.

So you don’t think a government could stop a football club if they wanted to?

They are part fan owned , huge difference

The difference between 34 spots earned on merit and 5 is more than "a small matter of degree". If this happens then domestic leagues become close to irrelevant.

 

[goalmole]

I don't want to be re-admitted until Brits start pronouncing "e" before "r" as a fucking "e" and not an "a".

"Daaaa-rrrrby County", "claaa-rrrk of the court". The fuck is that? As a footy-obsessed Yank, every time I refer to a derby as a darby over here I get a look.

There seems a lot of cards being shuffled with rumours of UEFA looking at higher funding. Interesting Pep throws in comments that he trusts the club then says we can't have a league that has no meaning for success or failure, as he seems unconcerned with his own club hierarchy, putting the onus on the key figures at play in ESL and UEFA

We are looking at trade offs in a high risk game of poker where the winners are likely to be the dirty dozen where UEFA and their associations will cede ground eventually and the 12 will abandon the Super League with more control of the way UEFA is run and crucially for the red faction and Europeans more money.

Obviously there is collateral damage but the organisations of 12 probably believe it is a price worth paying.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

5 biggest club ? What is arsenal is doing here exactly ?

Global fan base? People around the globe will pay to watch Arsenal, less so Wolves or Leicester (?)

 

[Benarbia_is_god]

The fans are an afterthought in all this, they don't need Mancunians anymore, they want Mumbaians and Mombosans. Manchester City as we know it is no more when we enter this league, within three seasons they will be playing games abroad. It's really saddening but inevitable. I think the super league needs to happen at this point but they cannot remain in the domestic set up, no half way house, go now.
