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

[LongsightM13]

genuine question .. if Barca need a vote to come out why not a vote to go in? or if they still need a vote to go in are they not technically out ?

How come only 95 posters on here are now in favour? That figure was over 100 the other day. Have some people resigned from the forum in embarrassment now that this shit show has been shelved? ;)

Perhaps they thought it was a good idea for us to be in initially.
But having seen the backlash and more details emerging daily they thought better of it.

A bit like Soriano.

Cheeky fucking bastards using a picture of our club with that headline, as if to imply we are the ones who set it up with jp Morgan

The Guardian, mate. City haters and Uncle Toms. They know exactly what they’re doing

Super League collapse: return to status quo is unacceptable - Football Supporters' Association

Appeasement of football’s richest clubs doesn’t work. The vultures circle, they’re always after more and they only get stronger when you feed their greed.

I’m an Irish supporter since 1970, so what the British government says in general has nothing to do with me.
But if you want my tuppence worth, I wouldn’t let government and this one in particular anyway near having a governing influence in football affairs.

If they start passing legislation now for any reason, where would it stop.

Pure opportunism from Boris.

Perez believes the failure to establish the Super League will prevent the largest clubs from being able to afford the game's biggest stars, saying: "As for signings like [Erling] Haaland or [Kylian] Mbappe, they won't exist without the Super League.

Laporta: "It is absolutely necessary. The biggest clubs create the most financial resources and we must have our say in deciding how the earnings are shared," he said.

Reading that was all I needed to know about why they did this.

It almost feels like Brexit. We're out, and we're now back in control of our own destiny.

Thought it was a 'wet and windy night in Stoke (usually a Tuesday)' - not a cold night?

“Eenie meenie minie mo - which banner shall we show...”

I can imagine an upstairs room in a Liverpool Dock Warehouse, with banners for every occasion, on hangers, lining the walls, and a group of Liverpool Supporters Club committee members weighing up which one to dispatch to the minions.

When the news of the ESL emerged the chairman of the cottage industry of banner makers in Liverpool rubbed his hands together shouting 'this means more.

JP Morgan have put the final nail in the coffin and dashed the hopes of Perez that he will tweak it and start again. Funding withdrawn and a grovelling apology from them. No investor is going to touch it with a bargepole from now on.

City have ignored fans for years now. We used to have meetings with the club board/owners.

This all went out of the window.

I like this bit:

At the top clubs are allowed to treat their fans with contempt when it comes to ticket prices, kick-off times, support for the women’s game, wealth distribution and funding of grassroots. Supporter engagement has to be embedded into the decision making and power structure of all clubs.
