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

[peter.evans]

Can they do it tomorrow then so we can load up for the Villa and Spurs games without having to worry about PSG.

We may be kicked out of the domestic competitions as well and we certainly should be !!

We've been duped.
All along its been a case of The Emporers New Clothes. It's always been about the money, we just hid it better than the American owners.
Grateful for the good times but unsure if the end game was worth it.

And how is this new super league going to help the clubs suffering from the pandemic in Belgium Holland Norway and pretty much 99% of all historic European clubs you parasitic arseholes.

I know everyone's emotional but at least read the statement before discussing it.

The new annual tournament will provide significantly greater economic growth and support for European football via a long-term commitment to uncapped solidarity payments which will grow in line with league revenues. These solidarity payments will be substantially higher than those generated by the current European competition and are expected to be in excess of €10 billion during the course of the initial commitment period of the Clubs.

they do have solidarity plans. What we need to see is how these actually stack up to the current system.

To be honest all in all this proposal seems very similar to the proposal UEFA are supposed to be unveiling tomorrow. Just fewer teams and only 5 spots for qualifying. Which is shit, but not that different from UEFAs idea.

I suspect UEFAs plan being so anticompetitve is part of the reason why these clubs have felt they can announce their plan.

Fuck off City.

It’s not like City were going to do UEFA any favours and if the other big boys climb aboard then City are going to climb aboard.

Business wise it makes sense, overseas markets will lap it up. China/Far East, US, will go for it. UEFA is dead in the water and domestic leagues will to the way of the FA Cup as second tier competitions.

Matches will also get staged in Middle East, Far East. Money on offer will be insane.

Getting in as founding members and writing the rule book is better for City than UEFA throwing the rule book at us every year. For City it’s a no brainer.

Sucks for fans like me who prefer domestic league competition and can’t be arsed with CL football, but part of my dislike is the way City were treated so on one hand happy to see UEFA get shafted, on the other don’t think this development is for me.

Trouble is old farts like me aren’t the target market for this shit.

Think in the days to come once the emotion of this has died down this will be the consensus on here. What choice did we have?

The last ten years have been amazing for us....but now it's over. I don't care now.

Are you for real !?

wel whats you opinion, thats how it is in black and white unless you know better,which you wont but il hang around to see

 

[blueballs84]

So 18 'league games' then assuming two legged quarters and semis gives 23 total games.

How can they say this won't interfere with the domestic calender, it is impossible to have both.

I assume we'll be withdrawing from domestic cups.

I remember when this club stood for what was morally right and not for profit, Instead of doing what was right and backing out, they have caved. Sick to my stomach, disgraceful.
