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

[Marvin]

I went to bed thinking I hate everything about this.

I‘ve woken up, had a think, and I hate it even more.

One thing that seems to have changed though is that however bad things got I would always be City first and Football second. I don’t want to get all moral and say I’ll start supporting City FC in the eighth tier but now it’s football first and City second.

We can’t support this. Only 5 out of 20 clubs qualifying through merit.

If we win it it means nothing.

Dead set against it but I think it was get on board or you're not getting in.

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

Infuriating isn’t it? Arguably one of the biggest games in our recent history now means fuck all. Hard to get excited at the thought of it.

When you are receiving £350m every season no matter what, you don't need the revenues of fans in the stadium.

Sure that will stop them raising season ticket pricing then?

In fact if they came out and said as a compromise every season's domestic season ticket will now be capped at £100, how many do you think would soon change their tune?

Would not surprise me if this is something these clubs try to get fans on board.

You`re not telling us something we don`t know.

Knowing the ramification for your team and as unpalatable as it is, would you do stay within UEFA or join this new Super League if Leicester were invited.

As I said in my post earlier. My real line in the sand is the closing of the new league to promotion and relegation.

I would love to say we would reject it, but be serious, these clubs are all businesses now. 100% agree with your line in the sand, no jeopardy, no party.

 

[york away to this!]

I wonder how much a season ticket at Alty is?

Its just a new CL with less teams without Uefa stealing the money from top clubs calm down.

Aint going to replace the PL or even change it.

There is bigger money in elite football than what Uefa wanted to share between top clubs, thats what it boils down to.
Looking at the numbers the difference was quite big.

Greedy? yes. thats the football industry for you. it wasnt running on good will in any of the last 20 years either make no mistake neither before.

Fair assessment. Having slept on it I’m still not happy BUT IF it’s happening to replace the CL, I’d rather be in it than not. It’s not like uefa have ever done City any favours.

If it means getting kicked out of the PL then it can absolutely fuck off however.

Have the club even run it past City Matters yet?

Why would the club be interested in the fans feelings on this?

It was a tongue in cheek question as the club have only paid lip service to what supporters want for years. City Matters has been a joke from the off.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

PSG are suddenly the only UEFA team left in the Champions League, hmm I wonder if cynically they are waiting to win it and then throw their lot in with this Super League?

Yeah I reckon, there is no way that PSG or even bayern would not leave UEFA and come to this new idea especially with the money being touted from the revenue it will generate

They have the luxury of being in leagues where there are not another five or six 'big' clubs to choose from. They can afford to hold this at arms length and quietly climb down from their moral high ground later in the summer. No way munchen and PSG won't be involved.

 

[mikemcfc]

Has he told you that?

I'm inclined to speculate he didn't know and the club wanted to tie up his services before he could have a chance to think about it.

The leagues will become pointless. What's the point when in our league for example 6 clubs are getting £400 million more each year than the other 14 clubs? They will just buy up the talent from all the other clubs cos who the fuck can compete? The Spanish League will become a bigger joke with 3 of their clubs getting double the money of every other club. Eventually it will end up splintering off and the Super League will become an actual league and not a cup competition. It's the death of football as we know it.

I completely agree with you but all these cunts are motivated by money. La liga will take £1bn with the big 3 bring half arsed than £500mil for a competitive league.
