The Super League | FA + PL: New Charter & Fines | UEFA: Settlement

[CityBlu]

Having WhatsApp my friends golf group today, all City or Rags there's not one who will pay to watch on TV and out of 14 of us who go to games not one will pay. I can't see it going ahead.

I'm going to bet that most, if not all, end up doing so. A bit like when everyone said they wouldn't buy Sky and then did. But this isn't aimed at existing fans. This is to generate new money, which means new viewers. These new viewers won't pay to watch a team parking the bus in every game involving a top team. They want to see top teams playing each other every week. Both going toe-to-toe to make thrilling games

We dont all live in UK and oh yes, people in Europe watch a lot of basketball and the name Jordan is 10x more famous than someone called De Bruyne i guess.As a football and City fan i know a lot more footballers than maybe other athletes ,but saying Lebron and Jordan are not world wide stars are bollocks.

4D chess incoming people, hold onto your hats and don’t cuss city out just yet.

You can’t destroy shapeless Demons hiding in the shadow, first you have to get them to show themselves and take it from there

You know something or guessing?

Interesting to see the club's official Twitter account post this:

And it's still there as well.....

Because the other 5 biggest clubs in our league were doing it and we didn't want to miss out. If the 5 top German or French teams were involved, don't think for a second that Bayern or PSG wouldn't have joined them.

Yeah same with Atlético and probably Inter Milan too. There would have been a huge pressure on these two clubs or risk being left in the dust for eternity.

Time Sir Dicky had a word, being a city fan and leader of MCC he should class us as anti- social tenants and threaten eviction unless we behave ;-)

Hello all. Lyon fan here. I have a question, if you may. Why the fuck did your club jump into this giant mess ? I mean, you didn't have any interest to join, and you would be way more comfortable with the like of Bayern and Psg , playing the good guys. You don't have money issues like the debt full Spanish, so what happened ?

I can't offer any firm conclusions at all.

But, based on numerous press articles - both we - and Chelsea were told that the Superleague was 100% going to occur. And it's evident - based on the willing participation of other top clubs that in fact - that the Superleague was going to launch.
===
At gun point - we and Chelsea were offered an ultimatum - join us, or die!
===
Although I'm very much disappointed in our management to capitulate to the evil money-grab so-called Superleague - I can see - easily - why we reluctantly did so.

So Perez says the ESL will help filter more money down the leagues, but conveniently forgets how much cash Utd's owners have taken out of the game £1 billion at last estimates wasn't it, I'm sue the Italian money must go somewhere and in Spain I thought Barca was owned by the fans.

I hope City pull out of this and also refuse to compete in a revised UEFA Champions League which rewards clubs for historical achievement, we don't need this, our owners don't and our players don't...

They do, unfortunately.

Is this going to turn into the most 'Typical City' moment of all time? Just as we are on the brink of a fantastic season, and with some of our main rivals...scum, Real, Barca...struggling under mountains of debt, we throw them the lifeline of signing up to this complete shit-show which looks designed to solve their financial issues, wiping out any advantage we hold over them. At the same time we become national pariahs and anything we do manage to achieve this year will be completely ignored (or even possibly deleted from history if some people have their way). Well done City

Eh? If w don't join, those teams will get hundreds of millions anyway and then dwarf our purchasing power. On day one, any of the top 15 could buy Kdb and Haaland and probably MBappe. We'd in a heart beat drop to a second tier team.

Bloody hell, it's hard keeping up with this thread.
I turn my back and 50 pages are added.
Has Khaldoon come out of hiding yet ?
