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

[ctwrd]

we didnt sign up and we had no intention of doing so

What was the statement with quotes from glaziers on our clubs website for then?

this idea of some master plan, it would still have failed had we not joined.

Those saying super league will never happen should look at the new format of the CL. I like it actually. A league replaces group stages. But UEFA changed the eligibility criteria to add a safeguard for the 'history' clubs.

We’ve got three years to get that sorted out.

I like the idea of a league format (I did with the ESL) but we must make sure it’s a meritocracy.

Depends what the history element in though. I read somewhere it was last the years performances. But Don’t forget, Liverpool have missed out on the CL 7 years in the last 11, both Milan clubs have missed out many times, Arsenal 5...

Need to have a proper look at this and act on it if it’s not right. But we’ve got until 2024... this ESL thing needed sorting out TODAY!

I think it is more likely that Bayern and PSG had the smartest moves. They played the best cards of anyone.

They had no real choice. Bayern is 51% owned by the fans, it would never have flown. P.S.G. is organising a certain thing called a World Cup next year. Oh, and also they own BeinSport — which covers the CL.

That's because you want to believe it.

City have known for months what they have been battling against.

Ask yourself who has benefited the most from this last 48 hours, who has been removed from positions of power?

We are owned by people who do political strategy for a day job, do you think they aren't prepared to take a bloody nose to achieve their objectives?

We signed up to the rules of FFP, even though we didn't agree with them.

We took a pinch and decided to pay the fine to play the long game.

We did back deals with Platini and Infantino.

Cerefin has been an ally of City for a good length of time.

If you don't believe City aren't capable of doing some very deep shit, then I can't persuade otherwise.

I like this very much

We have done the right thing.

We could have been playing Chess here.

This might very well prove to be the case.

Very telling we didn't send anyone from the top to own this thing from the beginning.

As others have said ,not our finest hour.

Remember though,we still dont know the facts,and we still dont know if we had ulterior motives to begin with.

We will come out of this better long term in my opinion.

The facts are pretty clear. We jumped into bed with this mob and it's blown up in our face. Of course we'll be in a good position after this is all over. But the point is that we were already in a strong position and we didn't need to jeopardise it by joining that lot. We'd be in a stronger position if we'd stayed out of it.

Decent couple of days for Boris Johnson. Jump on the populist bandwagon and end up not having to do anything.

Feel like will look back on this someday, don't know when, and think 'wtf was that all about?'
