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

[BlueDejong]

Mansour and Khaldoon have to leave the club? Are you crazy? Everyone makes mistakes. It'll be irreversible for us for those two to leave the club, wake up.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

What CLUBS? Only City has officially withdrawn!

Chelsea on the pitch right now. Statement will follow.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

What’s clear is that we did have a choice. I’ve seen posters say we had to do it, but in the space of 24 hours we now don’t... suggest we could have just not accepted the invite in the first place

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

People behind ESL didn't come up with such drastic plans to give up so easily, at most, plans might get delayed till the end of the season but it won't go away. if they cared about the fans, they wouldn't come up with such plans in the first place. Glad to know that city have abandoned the ship early

 

[Leeky]

Do we still get our £300 million

 

[Stoned Rose]

“Most notably their fans”, indeed!

Bluemoon and the wider City fanbase has been brilliant these past couple of days. Very encouraging to see our fans would not just go along with the club’s board just because it would line their pockets. That fans said they would end their support for the club shows that a lot of our fans have a lot of time for the players of this sport, the fans across all teams, English football history and traditions and the wider culture of this country.

Never mind a thread saying “well done City”... well done City fans!

There's been a few who've outed themselves on this thread as massive bellends.

 

[p.taker]

Really worried now they get Dortmund and Bayern on board and we will be left out in the cold with that corrupt Ceferin. and then they did a fucking 6d chess on us or whatever that is.

What else worries you? Stepping outside your house?

 

[yankblue]

City have played this very well from a PR perspective IMO.

They were the last to join and the first to leave and made sure everyone in the press knew about it, and how they felt they were railroaded into it.

Harder for United and Liverpool to say the same.

Agreed. I'd hesitate to say City look "good" at the moment, but certainly less terrible is a start. Head and shoulders above the rest.

 

[ysmsa]

I don‘t know about 4D chess, but I do know that the statement posted on the website didn’t look, smell, or feel right.

4D chess!

We played Dejarik and "didn't let the Woodie win"

 

[razman]

Damn , just saw the Daily Mail article - Shaikh Mansour , saviour of English football.

Some PR spin haha

 

[dhruvblue]

I'm beginning to think we've been really screwed over, just think if everyone stayed but we walked out of the party it would be an interestingly awkward situation and then we'd never be taken back, which would be interesting in terms of the future.

Chelsea are out they can be out. Other clubs are bunch of beggars with debt

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Just to confirm, Woodward has not resigned with immediate effect. He will leave at the end of the season (which according to reports was when his contract finishes anyway)

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I'm pleased but I think there's been damage done to our reputation which will not be easily repaired....

Our reputation has been turd for a decade. It was worse than usual for 48 hours. We will be heroes for a little while now and then it will level out. Look at the UEFA statement, they’ve not been that nice to us in a decade and 24 hours ago, they wanted nothing to do with us.

In addition, the longer the other clubs involved try to press forward with the ESL, the more our reputation rises. All it needs now is for us to be in some way involved in the financing of a bigger/better CL package and all of a sudden we are universally loved.

 

[Benarbia_is_god]

Silence from Spurs players and figures today? They don't get paid as much as other top teams due to their structure, I bet they've been told this would significantly boost their incomes.

Is Perez doing a late night interview tonight? I cannot wait to see how the ESL respond to us leaving.

 

[City_Sean]

I'm glad that we're ultimately out of this. But there will and should be repercussions. I expect whoever has pushed for this to walk.

 

[Leeky]

Agent Woodward has been rumbled

 

[dadnlad]

it wouldn’t surprise me. Not like either us or Chelsea are liked by these lot so perhaps it is still a goer and 2 other clubs will step in. I’m sure Mike Ashley will be on the phone now!

Everton

 

[discopop]

I'm pleased but I think there's been damage done to our reputation which will not be easily repaired....

I take it you have missed Herberts write up in the Mail? Where he for the first time praises us, Ceferin blowing smoke up our arse, it may or not been the outcome our board we’re looking for but the damage to the American owners is very clear and obvious.

 

[Saddleworth2]

The more distance and time we can put between us withdrawing and the thing collapsing the better. It is doomed to failure and I hope it brings down the bastards that conceived it.

 

[Gray]

Our reputation? Mate we never have had a good reputation in the eyes of our media and other fans, what the fuck is there to be repaired?
We get sports washing, human rights abuse and state money thrown at us every given chance, do us as fans give two fucks anymore about reputation?
Have a word with yourself.

Nail on the head there, could not have put it any better.
