Can't wait to see what shit they'll try and pull on us this time.


They Shouldn't give it a fancy name. Just be honest and say this is project fuck Man City.

They won't need to, sadly.

As Martin Samuel has reported in his column today, we will be cut off at the knees by interference at government level.

Tracey Crouch already said in The Times that a new regulator will be coming in, with a likely look at spending at football clubs.

Funnily enough, just at the same time Gary Neville and Ed Woodward have been lobbying No.10.

Let's hope Khaldoon had a word last week when he signed off £10bn investment in the UK...

Interestingly, United and Liverpool have blocked the other four English clubs from leaving the Super League agreement.

No we and the other clubs have been informed that they will NOT be fined as they are shit scared (UEFA) of going to the courts and being found guilty of unfair competition.
Make of that what you will !! ;)

If there's going to interference at government level, it's going to be on our side.

It's not just that the UAE are investing £10Bn, it's Mubadala, the investment fund Khaldoon is the CEO and Managing director of.

They invested another £1Bn in UK life sciences in march. They are funding most of our offshore wind farms. £500m is going towards improving fibre optic broadband infrastructure which is one of Johnson's big projects.

All of which is foreplay for a free trade agreement.

The UK government is not going to fuck over Khaldoon.

Yep, City and the other English teams wanted to rip up the original Super League founder agreement last week, but United and Liverpool put the block on that.

Don't know how the voting rights are made up, but as United and Liverpool were original founders, they obviously have a big say.

United and Liverpool are worried about potential legal action from Madrid, Barca and Juventus, and the £250m exit fines they signed up to with the banks.

So even though we have "pulled out" of the SL - "technically" we haven't at all?

The agreement is still in place and the SL is still alive?

I thought FIFA rule it's illegal for governments to interfere with the running of football clubs?

That's correct. The legal documents mean those six clubs still have their stakes, with all the penalties that were drawn up on its conception.

City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs want nothing more to do with it and want to take our chances of ignoring the ramifications, but Liverpool and United are on the hook for huge penalty clauses as original conspirators.

Penalty clauses are not enforceable in this country so it shouldn't be a worry.
