I don't disagree with you, especially on the idea that it's all one and the same. But the not supporting City vibe or the quitting football comments just seem to be so OVERDRAMATIC. As if all of this is new and going to destroy the purity of football or something.

Spiegel: Leaked European Super League information
- Thread starter HelloCity

Yup, that's really why everyone should be so worried by the super league idea. It would be run by the cartel, for the cartel, with nothing to stop them doing whatever the fuck they want to get the outcome they want.I don't trust Rags,Dippers or Bayern...I think they will stab us in the back (last minute rule change)

This would definitely finish my interest off. I would prob watch on TV but absolutely zero interest in watching the equivalent of American football with same teams every year. Would never travel from Scotland for this

Not really sure how it can be, how many clubs in it ? 16 ? that's 30 midweek games to fit in, where ? Also they'd want to make a "final" out of it so no doubt some sort of top 4 play off is likely to extend the revenue stream from it.Suerly this will be a mid-week league,to replace the ECL.
If this comes to pass my own over 50 years of support for city is at an end, even typing that line hurts, what an absolute fucking scam it will be if enacted,and where's the money going to come from for this circus? Why you and me and all the other mugs, that's if you have the dosh to go see a game of fantasy football.what a load of greedy, selfish and self important Bollocks it all sounds

The Cartel will make sure we are not in a Super League (They hate us and they don't need us)
Speaking for myself of course if we had been left off that list I would have been an even prouder city fan than I am now16 clubs with 11 of them untouchable relegation wise would be wank and turn some fans off, whether it is the natural progeeasion in the eyes of some or not.
If we were playing those clubs mentioned every week in a super league at the expence of what we have now, then I would stop going, financialy and work wise most aways would be over for me and the prices I envisage tickets would become for even home games would be it for me.
Think this just about sums it up for me, this comes in , or any other watered down version & my football days will be over.It's sad that the PL teams are letting greed drag them into this, as they are the ones who really don't need this. Bayern need it as they've crippled their league, same for Real and Barca, while PSG never really had a league to cripple in the first place. The Italian teams want in because the Milan teams have been mismanaged so badly they'll struggle to ever become competitive again, essentially ruining the league for Juve, as no one wants to see them win every year.
The PL are the only ones who have a functioning, thriving, profitable league. It's been the envy of all the others for years, but the "big" clubs have all been taken over by leeches who just want more and more money and frankly don't give a shit about football. So they are all up for doing whatever will make more money. My sense is that we really wouldn't be that in favour of this as we are thriving in the current system, but have to band with them in case it actually happens, as being left out would be pretty crippling.
The whole thing is just fucking hideous though, a blatant cash grab from the owners of the historical elite. It has absolutely nothing to do with football and everything to do with money and they don't give a shit how badly it fucks up every other league.
