There aren't any positives..

Perez sez he's gonna get a shed load of top class referees. And it will launch further space exploration to another solar system so he can shove a contract under their noses. They will become Perez's Interplanetary Solar System Of Footballing Floosies - abbreviated to PISSOFF!

Maybe Alan Ball would understand what is needed to avoid relegation now seeing as there isnt any

If the FA ban on ESL players goes ahead, It will be a great opportunity for a few National League players to be included in Southgate's Euros/World Cup squad.

This was inevitable the moment the players refused to even consider a pay cut, despite the clubs losing millions due to no fans in the stadiums. Quite the opposite: players are still demanding outrageous new improved contracts. The clubs have no option but to look at ways of increasing revenue, which realistically can only be done via tv contracts. Nobody around the world wants to watch City batter a club for 90 minutes when all they do is park a bus and hope for a 0-0. It makes terribly dull football. What new fans want are exciting games where both teams try to win. The Super League might provide that. I certainly look forward to more exciting games. I support City regardless of what division or competition they are in.

Jeeze, finally a common sense answer.

The one thing that has wound me up with all of this is the players supposedly not wanting it, but it's their salaries that are driving the need for it.

I'm trying to look at it from the outside and I have to say I don't understand a lot of the arguments against it. I don't like the closed-shop, no-relegation factor but that could change, and there's another five to be decided one way or another.

Seems to me there's a lot of old school in the game throwing their toys out of the pram because someone has come up with an idea that will take their toys away from them. But this has been coming, because the current lot controlling the game have done fuck all for the smaller clubs, so I don't buy into the argument that any changes will adversely affect them at all.

As for the meeting between the 14 remaining Prem clubs, there's no way it can be an unbiased meeting. Obviously they're going to vote for something like points deductions because they all stand to gain from it. Are 3rd placed Leicester going to vote for anything else? No chance. And only for the same reasons - more money.

Make no mistake, if if were any other 6 clubs in the same position in the Prem they would take it.

.....Likewise I realise my teenage boys had got to the stage of ‘artificial joy’ at seeing city score a goal. Those awkward moments where I hugged my boys after a goal was scored can now be tempered down to a far more socially acceptable appreciative nod as a ball hits the back of the net.

I thought VAR had been the reason behind that!

I thought VAR had been the reason behind that!

Definitely in part

how the hell do spurs get an invite to this.

Good question, but to be fair they have at least made the final of the CL.

I think peeps are forgetting about "the other three", which will probably include PSG. Note that very few of the other "bigger" clubs are saying much against it at the moment, with the exception of Bayern.
