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

I think they are hoping this will kill off the Champs League but the Champs League have stated they have no intention of going anywhere. As for promotion and relegation the 15 core members automatically qualify every year and then 5 teams supposedly will qualify for it but I'm not sure how they are going to qualify when every league has said they will not recognise this.

It's literally a micky mouse cup. There is no semblance of competition when 15 clubs don't even have to qualify for it and just get in automatically.

It’s basically this. The ICC we all compete for every pre-season... usually played on the other side of the world.

I've been against the City Football Group concept from the start as ultimately it was always going to end here. Globalisation is the death of local support. It's disgusting and unethical.

I've been saying it for a while about the direction the club was taking, it gives me no pleasure but the club I loved, and I did love it, passionately is now dead

Completely agree mate. It has been a vision of Soriano’s for a number of years, but even for the hierarchy at Barca it was considered unpalatable.

It showed the contempt we held for other clubs, their individuality and the wishes of their fanbases. I never posted my views because it would be just slanted as me being contrary and I hoped it would not come to fruition. To be honest its even more abhorrent than I expected.

Well that money will clear a lot of United debt straight off. Don’t think we are desperate for the money but I guess we don’t want to be left behind. It looks anti competitive to me so that’s where I’m out. Leicester winning the PL again? Zero chance for anyone outside these 6.

they will just be cannon fodder. Sky will be fucked if the PL6 get banned aswell. So they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

We’ve got no fan groups.

Official Supporter Club going since 1949?
I am quite sure the BBC could quite easily have got a quote if they wanted perhaps off Ric, Dave Wallace, Colin Savage or others.
Fans of the 5 prime mover clubs and the media bursting with hypocritical outrage all over the place.

You don't think refs would work for more money?

Most definitely but they won't want to be ostracized within the game for taking the leap.

You know mate, I keep playing this out looking for a positive from our perspective.

I can't, wrong is wrong - call it what it is.......

I agree it's wrong. I just think we were left with very little real choice.

Generally, I don't agree with the idea of the Super League. But I shall wait for more information before making my mind about the stance of our club.

What's clear is that no big club can afford to stay outside such a Super League. There wouldn't be much point in playing "derbies" with Leicester, Everton and the likes, and winning the CL against Sevilla and Lazio. A solitary resistence wouldn't probably work.

In many ways, it is classic typical City to completely devalue the Champions League right before we play in a huge semi final.

Can see Amazon behind this as the TV provider. Present in all the countries and have just signed $1BN per year deal with NFL just for showing one Thursday night games per week

Thats what im thinking

Who even cares? It would be totally meaningless achievements now for me, whatever we win. I shouldn’t even say “we”, it isn’t City any more. I couldn’t give a toss if we win nothing. Dock us all points in the league - let Leicester or West Ham win it, get Mourinho’d in the cup, twatted by PSG. Who cares? It’s meaningless.
