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

[SWP's back]

Over the last nearly 13 years have our owners ever given the impression that they were prone to panicking?

There was that time we ran out of chips in the South Stand.

i know, but I've seen people these last few days say they are done.

and we know they won't be.

Tbh I was close. The future was going to be city playing by the new rules of the history clubs in a crappy franchise, pep leaving at the end of his contract and city becoming a slave to the history clubs. The timing for me was right to fuck football off. I don't want another few decades of lfc/utd dominance.

Sky being nice to us?


I'll only accept it if Martin Tyler knocks one out over a Mahrez thunderbastard tonight.

Something like... " oh good goal"

Or snuffs it

102 votes for yes

^^These are the people that try and score with the keeper on FIFA when 1 nil up

most of them are just jokes once we pulled out, in a "now we've pulled out let's pretend we want back in" kind of way. Can't believe this is still an issue. About 18 users genuinely voted yes before we pulled out.

Sky just saying that City were sold something that was actually very different to what they thought it would be and were the last to sign up and were the first to go. This was driven by that clown at Real Madrid and the twats at Ushited, we should never have put our name to it even if it was only for three days.

That Perez interview on Monday night was Uttley bizarre and I'm sure a few owners saw that and thought " what the fuck is this?"

For me the outrage of the ESL is that Spurs and Arsenal are in it. By what possible measure are they a top club?

Apart from Arsenal having won more trophies that City, and Spurs having won the same amount, i can't think of anything...

1. M*nchester Un*ted - 66 trophies
2. Liverpool - 65 trophies
3. Arsenal - 48 trophies
4. Chelsea - 31 trophies
5. Manchester City - 26 trophies
6. Tottenham Hotspur - 26 trophies

This is the kind of comment that gives City a bad name, 20, 15 even 10 years ago, City would have been nowhere near this ESL Shitshow.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

But what would have been so bad about being left behind? Especially compared to the entirely predictable and reputation damaging shit-storm that was bound to follow?

Unlike some other clubs, our owners don’t need to inflate the value of the club. They have all the money in the world.

In sports-washing terms it was always going to be an absolute sure-fire catastrophe, even if the plan went through.

If I was the owner I would wonder how safe my ambitions were in the hands of people with such poor judgment that they thought being left behind from a dumpster fire was a bad thing.

Sky are actually suggesting we’d signed up to ‘explore the possibility of a super league and what it might mean’, not to start playing in one this week, which does put an entirely different perspective on, for me at least.

If he screams "FFS" on commentary it'll have a very different connotation.

There were 94 yes votes before hand.

No communication from the club. What does our communications director do?

Follow what the owner tells him to do.

and 50 years ago we would have been pride of place...

Hiring Hugh Ferris was surely a moment of panic from our owners

 

[Southbanken]

Ditto for the Milan clubs.

You mean 7 times European Champions AC Milan and three times European Champions Inter - Get in the bin you fucking weirdo

Inject this directly into my veins from RAWK

“It was City who made us do it” will be the new deflection tactic from these shameless rats, the new “Chelsea fans caused the Heysel disaster”. They really do seem fundamentally incapable of accepting any blame or fault for anything they do

 

[Rammy Blue]

Fuck this shit anyway, get on over to the kit thread, lol.

He reminded me of that Iraqi general.saying they were ready for the American's and that American should be very afraid just before the Yanks bombed the hell out of them and him. Totally deluded and nuts.

I doubt there was much, if anything, in those agreements that was legally binding. The wording of the statements is telling. The clubs weren't withdrawing from the Super League itself as it clearly hadn't got that far; they were withdrawing from the group that was developing plans for the Super League.

I agree, I doubt much if any of it is legally binding; though the fact the club’s statement uses the wording “formally enacted the procedures” makes me less confident.

Whether or not anything is legally binding, Sunday night made me take my blue specs off for a while, and from an unbiased footballing point of view, we can’t expect there to be no ramifications. Damage was done, and the reason Henry’s apology hasn’t been accepted, as enough, is that as it stands there’s nothing to deter teams from trying this again in a few years.

I just think it’d be fitting that the teams are beholden to the penalties they themselves deemed heavy enough, and that the benefactors are those that would have been the casualties had this gone ahead - the other teams in each domestic pyramid.

There are a lot of people, it would appear, that feel we did the right thing in the end, and that that’s enough. I’m not so easily placated.

AC Milan of the late 80s early 90s was the best club team ever assembled.

It was 108 mate when the news first came out about Chelsea. It had increased yesterday afternoon.
