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

[Marvin]

I am puzzled that City joined up.

The political opposition seems to big for it to be able to succeed and this was predictable and yet jump we did.

I am obviously not understanding this. Our executives are not stupid. There must be a plan?

One always has to hope

I really can't get my thoughts together on this. So thanks to you lot for offering up your ideas and opinions.

I just don't understand why they didn't wait for the league and cups to be over before breaking this.

I think this is a ploy by these 12 clubs for greater leverage with UEFA. UEFA will give them a better deal and these breakaway clubs will back down. I hope I’m right as this ESL is an abomination that could destroy football.

Some arse@oles comparing this to the formation of the premier league. Very analytical.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Haven't all the clubs involved posted the same statement?

Hardly the crassest move by City but simply the most obvious one for all the teams involved to do that.

I can understand a generic statement being posted by all the relevant clubs, but that shouldn’t preclude a statement of our own from being provided to the fans. That will doubtless follow, but I still think it’s been handled poorly by the club.

In particular, to have a statement from Joel Glazer explaining why we a pushing for a historic and unprecedented change to our format, but nothing from our own leadership, is not acceptable in my book. Should we just assume that Khaldoon is happy to be a junior partner in the new league, or does he actually want to explain why it’s the best move for Manchester City Football Club?

Listening to Talksport (yeah I know) and Jordan seems to think this is just a negotiating tactic to get the American owned clubs more money from UEFA.

I tend to agree.

Wenger about to come on.

Shocker as Bayern want a closed shop, they will take what is left of the CL money for themselves and win the CL every year. Bayern v Dortmund final for the next 10yrs.

So you’re slagging Bayern for doing this?!

Woodward stepped down from UEFA, this is moving fast, even if it gets binned they shouldn’t put them back in. This could derail the whole season.

I said this late last night, every uefa board serving member associated with the breakaway clubs should be immediately removed from UEFA and not be allowed back in EVER

Even if this turns into a bluff (which i dont think it is)

 

[PabloZabeleta]

Bollocks. Neville is a fucking cünt. If Sky had the rights to it he'd be bigging it up. Fucking dirty sly little Rag vermin twat.

He's a cünt. Always has been and always will be. Don't believe the fucking hype. Fuck all to do with football and everything to do with his current employers.

Nobody has rights to it yet, and BT has exclusive rights to UEFA. So this scheme would only be a potential gain for his employer in terms of TV rights.

They tried to keep us out of the cosy club with ffp, now we want to do the same to others. The new champions league format was dreadful anyway, but turning a competition into a closed shop is even worse.
