But, unfortunately, support the new CL format also.

Yep, no mention of that.

Why should any team get rewarded for past success? Horse shit.

They shouldn't but right now we got a league set up giving 15 clubs that opportunity, lets get rid of that first.

City were finished either way as one of the top 2 or 3 most attractive clubs in the world. But they should have chose the option that saw us still have some “legacy fans” at the end of it all. We will probably receive half the money that the history clubs get and will face rules and regulations designed to impact us more than the others. Everything will have an element of past success weighting. We will be financially better off than if we didn’t join the ESL but we will be relative minnows within it. I’d rather be a relative minnow outside if it and keep our integrity. We were fucked either way, but they chose to fuck the fans too.

A lot of speculation here. Our club bosses are not naive.

The fans will be fucked also watching rags and dippers attracting much better players, the likes of Haaland and Mbappe, but also the best English players, perhaps even Foden. Anybody thinking world class talents will prefer to play derbies with Wolves and Leeds instead of Barca and Madrid is wildly optimistic.

The globalisation of football has made some excellent leagues, e.g. Brazil, Argentina, Netherlands, Portugal etc., unattractive at the expense of the PL, La Liga and Serie A. The next step will be at the expense of these very leagues and it is largely inevitable.

Is it good for football and fans? There's no simple answer to that question. For some it will be good, for others it will be bad. Gobalisation can't be stopped anyway. The best that can be done is to find some balance between the global and the local aspects of football, the global and the local communities of fans. Some working decision will be found ultimately. The big and the non-big clubs need each other.

Not sure how Neville and Carragher can be criticised- they are truly passionate in stopping this.

They have their flaws and have said stupid shit and have vested interests in others but right now they’re spot on. Football needs change and reform but this is not it

 

[Oldtraffordblue1]

doesnt everyone get those grants however ?

From what I saw there was a range - if we do the other stand maybe we get what it would cost say £80m. Forgot AC & Inter also building a new ground

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Neville talking sense about City....

He genuinely cares about the game we all love..

 

[MCFC1993]

Here goes Neville appealing to City to drop out.

We're the club that can afford to, we have to.

 

[Citizen Green]

Come on City DROP

 

[ScottSinclair]

Ugh. Agreeing with Milner

Cant really be selective of who we want to be on our side at this point

My 90 year old mum phoned me up earlier to ask me what i think about it, she knows how much City means to me and my brothers bless her
