Repercussions - From the PL, FA, UEFA and within the Club

We all witnessed the power of football fans after the announcement was made, we have to continue in that vain.

If we all stuck together, changes could be made, especially in terms of the cost admission.

It could and should be a watershed moment, where changes such as this and a return to fan power could materialise, just hope this opportunity is seized with both hands and we move forward ....

Media relying on rule L9 which says it’s not permitted to “enter” any competitions except CL, EL, fa cup etc without the leagues permission.
Obvious to any idiot that signing up to a potential future league has nothing to do with a rule relating to a particular season.

Some moron on SkySports News was also spouting some shite about another rule being broken which is about showing integrity to all other sides in the PL.

I wonder where this outrage was when 8 other clubs tried to get City banned from Europe whilst the court case was ongoing.
 
Time the media , sky & all the mard-arse 14 clubs that are crying like babies get over it & get on with life.
No serious crime was committed , just stupidity & greed .
The fans of the 6 clubs won the day ( esp city & chelsea fans) , get over it .blah!blah!blah!
Just a bunch of fanny wipes acting like a bunch of girls , carry on wanting justice & clubs will bite back ,they will only take so much.
We have had all kinds of back stabbing shit thrown at the club from the establishments & everyone since the owners came in.
But we mcfc have kept are dignity all the way through & got on with things .
The best team & fans going ,the club will gain our trust again , sooner rather than later .

It wasn't a clanger; they knew exactly what they were doing.
Had the original group of clubs not made a complete fist of the pitch to us & Chelsea then we'd be in this abortion now, signed and sealed.
So the apology isn't sincere.
They don't care about us and will do this again, if and when the time is right.

But apart from that, you're spot on John.

Why are you so sure?

You appear to have gone quite hostile towards the club which may be a reaction to the ESL debacle , or it could be something more underlying from your dealings with the club .

Are you willing or able to share the reason(s) please ?

I attended a meeting in Manchester a couple of summers ago about fans going to European away games. It was under the auspices of the FSA and Kevin Miles (FSA head honcho) and his European equivalent were there, plus fan representatives from the 'big 6'. They are incredibly well organised groups who are respected by their clubs. They couldn't believe we didn't have a proper Supporters Trust.

I had a good chat to Joe Blott of Spirit of Shankly as we walked back to Victoria and he asked me why that was. All I could think of is that we're a very tolerant bunch, having been through so much over the years. Occasionally we'll snap, as we did with Forward with Franny, Free the 30000 but even back in 2005, when we were in an absolute mess, it was a struggle to get something going.

The OSC don't get involved in club politics and never have. I can't and won't criticise them for that. Their success depends on a good relationship with the club.

City Matters isn't that group as we only talk about operational stuff although this latest fiasco will certainly come up at our next meeting. But Soriano won't be there so any anger we display, or messages we put over, will have to go up the chain and can safely be ignored.

1894 are great and could be that independent group but they're not a formal group in the way a trust is, being more concerned about atmosphere and banners. I also thought that stamping their feet and saying they were withdrawing their cooperation with the club & demanding the removal of their banners was a bit childish and immature.
