It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

City may have been on the fence with this and then saw who got appointed to a high up position at UEFA and thought 'feck this.'

We and Chelsea were given late option, we swallowed, even if they don't particularly like the taste.

Ok Im completely lost now..

Are we just tlaking transfers or the super league etc as well.....

From what I can gather it looks like we have potentially 3-4 transfer targets (there is another quote) ....

Haaland
Grelish
Messi?????
Nuno Mendes

We have joined the dark side and gone with the super league proposals - better to be with the cartel than against them????

We remain focused on the transfer targets we have. Re your second point, pretty much the long and short of it.

I still believe There is a New Hope

 

[Dirty Harry]

Surely now there may be a shit load of money for the debt clubs from this ESL, they suddenly now come into the running for all our targets ?

whats the new hope.....?

Do you think the super league proposals will get stopped somehow...or do we have a new hope regarding transfers......

Foden's progression has changed our priorities? Or the progression of someone in the EDS (palmer, Delap?)
Or Messi has given us new hope of him joining
or a new target has come to light

The resentment/hatred at board level between say City and Dortmund or City and Villa just went up tenfold. There’s no way that doesn’t make the deals more difficult.

If this new setup goes forward we ain't going to be signing any Major players in the future, they will all be going to Madrid,Barca and the rags as they will again be able to fund it.

you think we’ve agreed to this without an agreement in place between the clubs?

expect a salary cap and franchise player tags.

A plan will have been made to ensure everyone gets their man to start this with a bang

Thing that concerns me is the distribution of the money will eventually be based on viewing via the streaming outlets, would imagine Amazon will be at the front of the queue. The status quo will revert to 10yrs ago.

There are other things in play. The money they get from the institutions will go straight back to the institutions they already owe!

The good thing is that City don't owe anybody, so we will have a spending advantage for a while yet.
