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

[domalino]

We may be a founding member but this is a crucial line within the proposals.

- The remaining 15% would a “commercial share based on club awareness”

- A cap of 55% of revenues permitted to be spent on salaries and transfers (net)

we would not be entitled to that extra 15% of revenue which would obviously in turn hamper our transfer activities due to the aforementioned cap! Total horse shit designed to stop us

I think the fact this story has clearly come from City shows we aren't 100% on board, and I'm sure they will be using making this public to try and change some of those details.

But if/when push comes to shove, City are going to be onboard.

Is this a replacement for the champions league or is it an actual breakaway being proposed.edit..yeah it’s a break away.

And what happens to the players of said clubs when the ruling bodies confirm that they wont be allowed to play for their national teams in a Fifa or UEFA competition ?

This sounds like another bluff so that the cartel make UEFA bow to whatever they are asking for behind the scenes

UEFA should say fuck off then (but they wont)

Yep agree with last bit mate. You’d be very naive to not think city would love to be involved in something similar with more friendly terms. Sad state of modern football

Yeah some sort of shit like when they get beat in the knockout stages they still go through due to historical achievements..

Interesting development:

Is there any way the article can be shown without paying?

> The Super League development is a direct challenge to Uefa which is to announce its new 36-team Champions League format on Monday, to come into force from 2024.

> The European governing body had thought it had seen off the threat of a breakaway but is now involved in urgent talks with other football bodies about the new development.

> Uefa had succeeded in winning the support of the European Club Association (ECA) board and the European Leagues but it **emerged today that the Super League threat had been revived with the ECA chairman Andrea Agnelli, also the Juventus president, appearing to throw his hat in with the breakaway clubs led by Manchester United and Real Madrid.**

> Other members of the ECA board, who had agreed to the new Champions League format, and Uefa officials have attempted to contact Agnelli since Saturday evening but one source said he “has gone off the radar”.


> **The Super League proposals include:**

> The 15 founder clubs sharing an initial 3.5billion (£3.1billion) euro “infrastructure grant” ranging from £310million to £89million per club which can be spent on stadiums, training facilities or “to replace lost stadium-related revenues due to Covid-19”.

> The format would see two groups of 10 clubs who play home and away, with the top four from each group going through to two-legged quarter-finals, semi-finals and a one-legged final.

> Matches would be midweek and clubs would still play in domestic leagues.

> Clubs would have rights to show four matches a season on their own the digital platforms across the world

> Income from TV and sponsorship would favour the founding clubs: 32.5% of the pot would be shared equally between the 15 clubs, and another 32.5% between all Super League clubs including the five qualifiers.

> 20% of the pot would be merit money “distributed in the same manner as the current English Premier League merit-based system” according to where clubs finish in the competition or group if they don’t make the knock-out stage.

> The remaining 15% would a “commercial share based on club awareness”.

> A cap of 55% of revenues permitted to be spent on salaries and transfers (net).

> A ‘Financial Sustainability Group’ wolUd monitor clubs’ spending.

 

[SWP's back]

A cap of 55% of revenues permitted to be spent on salaries and transfers (net).

That’s such bullshit. It’s basically just looking to ensure lovely profit and dividends for owners and still encourages clubs to squeeze every last penny out of the match going fan.

Does City tip off Martyn regularly?
