this wont go through

This can’t be good for the players. What the fuck must they be thinking tonight? Doubt they’d be kept in the loop on these high level things. They’d know no more than us.

City have backed the wrong horse here. Idiotic.

Don't think we've heard anything from the club yet, so let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

Surely the clubs involved in this must have expected such a reaction.

that should be the end of that

I doubt this will work. Imagine the PL genuinely expelling their cash cows. There will be a lot of posturing but the league will cave in eventually once the idea of actually losing the income from the big six becomes realistic.

Banning players from the Euros and the World Cup though... that could be an interesting dilemma.

Good

Yeah, more rest for the players. Internationals do my head in anyway ;-)

I'm surprised so many on here think the 55:100 limit on wage/transfer spending:turnover is primarily designed to hurt City. It's about making football more like US sports, which have a wage cap, and ultimately protecting owners' profits!

Thats what it look like to me too. I wonder if we’ll also see owners locking out players if they don’t make enough money and want to drive salaries down.

I bet they still go ahead with the announcement. They will try and argue the leagues and national competitions would be damaged by not having the top teams/players in it. Then it would be a case of who blinks first. Could get nasty.

 

[wolviedinho]

strong statement. Hope the american owner shut it down now .

Disappointing by city

Strong but this could all be for show. The premier normally bend to the will of the rags and the dippers.
