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

[chris8910]

There are a lot of split views on whether certain members of Citys hierarchy should apologise for what has happened since the news broke about all of this.
My answer is simple. An explanation is needed from Khaldoon. In what way and when I don't know, that's up to him. I've trusted him up until this point and I'll continue to support the decisions being made by the owners and board. So long as the majority of shares stays with Mansour and not American investments! Whether he or the board should apologise to the level of what we have seen over on Merseyside, no. In my opinion, that would be admitting to being part of it all.

UEFA have something in the new legislation where in 2024, the 2 clubs with the highest co-efficient points qualify no matter where they finish in their domestic league. I think another fan revolt is required.

im not sure why people are surprised by this, it was put forward in their CL revamp months ago, which was always due to be ratified this week. There was some moaning and whining but as fans we have to stand up with more authority to this sort of stuff

Can someone closer to any players confirm Henderson and the other captains agreed that they should perhaps not accepts vulgar amounts of money to kick a ball around so we can avoid this kind of shit show again and keep it for the working man/woman?

I saw De Bruyne's tweet last night and at first glance it was ok

Then I thought I wonder if he knew anything when he signed his new contract the other week, I believe he would not have.

Then I ask do these players ever question where the money comes from for the massive wages they are paid.

The wages they receive are part of the problem football finds itself in. City have to pay these wages it seems at this moment in time to keep the best players

Although the competition part of this 'project' and the continued presence of the founders was shit the money mentioned cannot be ignored in terms of what clubs perhaps need.

Will the players now change how they negotiate, of course not.

Only one group going to carry on paying for this in the main, the fans

Then I ask do these players ever question where the money comes from for the massive wages they are paid. I am sure they do up to a certain point and when they get to 100kna week Inimagine they don't ask anymore. Money talks

It’s never black & white nor is it clear cut. The club did fuck up but they made amends by leaving. Also we were not the driving force behind this tournament. No presidents or VP came from city. We jumped in for 2 reasons IMO. 1. pressure from the other clubs 2. Seen it as an opportunity to fuck with uefa.

It’s is nothing more than football politics between huge organisations. The little man always gets shafted. Fans will always support their clubs. Uefa have come out of this with the moral high ground which is freighting.

The winners today: Uefa

The losers today: the cartel

City sit somewhere in the middle.

I've no idea why we did this. But it's quite possible that in the long-term this could play out well for City.

We can build bridges now. Firstly replace CL anthem with Tubthumping by Chumbawamba.

Bigger sponsorship deals, more revenue from TV rights. All soaked up by larger and larger fees and wages for players, it isn't improving the game it's killing it.
