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

[waspish]

bet the scousers and the scum will be well pissed of us too of course

 

[City Man]

I think I have come up with the perfect punishment for Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Instead of banning them, which will never happen, they should wipe out their UEFA coefficient.

This way they're still in the competition, which satisfies sponsors and doesn't rock the boat too much, but they lose the protections they usually have and we will get some real groups of death. Big sides will go out which should spice up the competition perfectly.

It takes 5 years for them to get back to where they were, but the punishment declines. They'd be in pot 4 for 2 years, pot 3 for 2 years and then they'd be back in pot 2.

UEFA should simply tell these three delinquents that as they've joined the ESL which still exists they can't be in UEFA as well. So bye bye and enjoy playing each other.

I think a 15 point deduction for all teams involved is in order. That would leave the top four at the moment as : City 68 pts Leicester 66pts, West Ham 62, Everton 59.
I’d be more than happy to accept this and play out an arranged draw tomorrow with no tackling to REALLY boil some piss.

Very good but won't happen

Why should points be deducted for the Big Six in the EPL. They didn't want to leave the domestic scene, simply create a new European League. The only punishments of what ever form should come from UEFA.

UEFA has begun disciplinary proceedings against European giants Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus over their role in the collapsed Super League.

I'd take an interest if I thought UEFA had the balls to give them a kicking.
The best course of action for UEFA would be for them to scrap the wildcard based on coefficients. That would at least screw other architects of the ESL.
If Barcelona and Real Madrid were docked twenty points apiece it wouldn't matter as the lemmings in La Liga would deem it an honour to roll over for them.

Uefa going down the disciplinary proceedings route with Barca, Madrid and Juventus, we giving this another 6-8 months before it gets thrown out by the CAS?

I wonder if CITY planned this all in a machiavellian epic plan to join ESL with a plan to pull out, renounce it and kill the project leaving Barca and Madrid 'holding the baby' and high and dry with UEFA and facing possible ban........could the CITY boys be that clever? Our involement in this ESL is still a mystery to me tbh

It's crossed my mind too.

I'd put nothing past The Kal, the look in his eyes in last season's review showed he wanted blood.

 

[waspish]

Why bother with disciplinary action just tell them they are not in next season champs league! Then leave them to it..

 

[dickie davies]

I'm sure our hierarchy will be watching what the "disciplinary action" will be with great interest
If those three get a kick up the arse, then we'll only receive a slapped wrist

I'd have been more impressed had the Machiavellian scheme led to the rags and dippers holding the baby.
At least UEFA have banned Arsenal for next season and relegated Spurs to the Europa Conference League.

The one thing CAS didn’t like with us and punished us for was our ignoring of UEFA’s authority.

Thought the same ! Didnt UEFA statement on City pulling out come after only a few minutes after Citys statement ? Seemed very quick ;)

There's no evidence either way, but personally I doubt it. I think Khaldoon was protecting City's interests in the whole sorry business. The scheme was dreamt up by the faded and fading 'istree bunch to help their financial difficulties and City stood to lose out if we weren't included. All that weekend City kept open a dialogue with Ceferin and I think Khaldoon was telling him bluntly that City had no reason or experience which would lead us to trust UEFA to show the guts to deal with the offending clubs and would have no choice but to go along with ESL unless UEFA did something. When it became clear that not only UEFA but also the domestic leagues had grown a pair remarkably quickly City saw the opportunity to Leave the other English clubs dangerously vulnerable and thus destroy the scheme by withdrawing. It would not surprise me if we collaborated with Chelsea over that weekend. So I don't think Khaldoon was quite as Machiavellian as you but he certainly exploited a fast developing situation in our interests. And that, to me, seems typical of Khaldoon.

I thought CAS weren't fit for purpose. You can guarantee tebas changes his tune pretty quickly if they save Real and Barca's skins
