I've heard mention a fine of €100M for any club withdrawing. That wouldn't surprise me as it would have to be punitive to be a deterrent. Since the Super League is a body made up of its founding members, then they would presumably be the ultimate beneficiaries but probably only if the Super League were dissolved. The fewer founding members the bigger the individual payout. So taken to its logical if somewhat absurd conclusion, if Real Madrid were last man standing they would benefit by over a billion.

I know this is far-fetched but it's sufficiently crooked to fit this money grabbibg scenario. It would however make a plot for a novel.

I've heard it was an 'in principle' agreement only "City" Man.
 
Hope Soriano goes now tbh. He's the one that compared the Premier League as Disneyland and Aguero as Mickey Mouse. Had my reservations ever since he did that speech. CFA stuff, okay, good model and can benefit City (as it has done in the past). It's clear from this however, his priorities are not the same as the fans.

Think we are all mainly happy we pulled out.

But their is a split with blues on whether it should be forgive and forget or city need to show contrition.

Personally speaking, I'm not sure how I feel. I'm not sure I feel anything.
I just feel numb.
While I'm glad we pulled out, I just don't feel the same closeness and emotion for the club as I did last Saturday.
I just feel a kind of sadness, a sense of loss, of sense of drift and alienation.
One thing this episode has brought home is that football is about more than how many trophies you can win, money you can spend, players you can buy, the size of your revenue and the number of fans in the stadium and worldwide, it isn't all about tribalism, it isn't all about rivalry.. It's about integrity, it's about fairness, it's about morals, sporting and otherwise, it's about community, it's about togetherness, it's about belonging. All these values were challenged and the truth of what football has become was laid stark and bare for everyone to see.
Genuine football fans will forever, I think, be changed by this experience. Having experienced both sides of the football coin, being piss poor and shit, and also now being mega rich and one of the best teams in the world, they will evaluate what football and being a football fan means to them. They will come out the other side and experience and view football in a different way and perhaps become better football fans.
I'm sorry if I sound a bit melodramatic but something I can't put my finger on seems to have irrevocably changed inside me.

That Perez interview on Monday night was Uttley bizarre and I'm sure a few owners saw that and thought " what the fuck is this?"

The part where he said that not many 16 to 24 years olds watched football and the length of a match needed to be reduced was fucking bat shit crazy.

You are never, ever going to get someone who's a City fan first in a position such as Soriano's so you might as well get over it and move on.
