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

[Cityzen_89]

And how did they manage to orchestrate this? Lol

City fans going all David Icke

Maybe it was lizards. It's always bloody lizards.

Fair fucks to Carragher and Neville. Other night I thought they were just rambling to no effect but they kept at it.

I don’t know why but I am starting to envisage this ending up doing a lot of good for the English game.

I am picturing a scenario where City and Chelsea, quickly followed by Spurs pull out, leaving United, Liverpool and Arsenal to carry the can as the main instigators behind this.

It leaves 17 Prem teams forming an alliance and ripping the power away from the 3 outcasts. Prem meetings consist of 17 clubs with similar values and 3 fucking idiots sat in the corner doing as they are told.

Fanciful?

Anyone want the next Lotto numbers?

It sounds like this was always posturing and foot stamping to get their own way with UEFA.

Hopefully that has backfired though. Governing bodies don’t have to bend over to these so called super clubs anymore because the one piece of leverage the clubs had, a breakaway league has been smashed to pieces.
It could be a wonderful day for football.

A couple of random thoughts/questions...

1. Loads of the clubs share prices jumped a mile last night. Is there any (legal) way the clubs will have profited hugely from this temporary hike? Wondering if they will have been able to claw back large amounts of debt sneakily.

2. With the CL reforms also helping 'historic' clubs, surely now a lot of fans/clubs would be open to an alternative tournament which would have qualification that is merit-based. I'm sure I've seen suggestions ages ago that Sheikh Mansour should create his won tournament, but I can't remember if that was a joke or if there was anything in it.

I wonder if we were getting kicked out of the champs league this season, hence our decision to leave?

What is this shit? Why would we be getting kicked out?

 

[bugsyblue]

Is it official?!

 

[andypandy]

It would be fascinating if the truth and nothing but the (whole) truth were to come out, But I doubt it ever will.
A lot on here have criticised our owners myself included, yet we could have possibly pulled off close to the greatest sting since Robert Redford and Paul Newman.

The most important thing is the football remains with the fans and that competition is and remains paramount.

I now hope that both West Ham and Leicester both qualify for next seasons champions league and that we of course end up with a treble.

If City had not joined, wouldn't this have happened anyway?

Unless we were garnering information and details and somehow sabotaging the whole crew.

If as Tolmie suggests the end product is that all City's opponents have been taken out then that would be highly suggestive but I would need evidence.

Regardless of whether that was the intention, if it turns out that the net result is that the red clubs have lost all their influence at UEFA, then this has been a huge result.
