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

[OB1]

That’s a really strong statement from UEFA.

Statement by UEFA, the English Football Association, the Premier League, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), LaLiga, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and Lega Serie A

Europe's football website, UEFA.com, is the official site of UEFA, the Union of European Football Associations, and the governing body of football in Europe. UEFA organises some of the most famous and prestigious football competitions on the European continent including the UEFA Champions...

Touch of irony in the closing part of their statement because they have clearly done plenty to support the self-interest of certain clubs.

I support their approach here though.

If it’s this or the CL, but still playing in the PL, I’d rather be in the tent pissing out.

If it means leaving the league (which I don’t believe it does) then I’d be against it.

It's a precursor to leaving the league.

I am praying that the reports are wrong and City aren't involved. I just can't get my head around why we would sell out like this. We know what these same clubs did to try and stop us and are now willing to join them and do the same to other clubs. If we are involved we are no better than the rest of them. At least Bayern and PSG can hold there head high which to me means if we wanted to we could have but have chosen not to. I'm so disappointed.

I wonder if it could be the case that PSG's owners and the top execs at Bayern have such a huge influence on UEFA as it is that it would be at a political disadvantage to them if they were to empower this clique?
Certainly, it doesn't sit comfortably with me that Bayern might suddenly be the moral guardians of the game. Everything we know about them points to their being a self-serving entity.

City would go up hugely in neutral fans views if they came out and backed uefa and distanced themselves from this,do people actually think these bunch of cnuts would be missed in terms of sponsorship revenue and viewing figures in the champions league,but without these shithouses there is plenty of other teams to take their place in the champions league fuck this off now City ..

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

It's just strange. We're in a better position than any of the clubs involved, considering financials, playing and non playing staff, infrastructure.

Bayern and PSG aren't having it, which gives us cover. Everton, Leicester, West Ham and Aston Villa all investing financially and closing the gap. Why risk it all for a closed shop with the clubs of yesterday when we could be kingmakers just by staying put?

You can say it's for money, but mark my words: this idea is doomed to fail.

 

[Citizen Green]

I imagine City will be in a lot of legal trouble if they have been stupid enough to sign up to this and then try and back out now.

Bayern Munchen made promise to their fans that they will never support any Super League.

This is the reason

If we get into bed with them, we're just as bad as them.

 

[Vienna_70]

I see PSG and Bayern are against the idea.

Too comfortable in their own respective national systems?

 

[PragueBlue]

And Arsenal.

never thought I’d say this but thank god for Bayern Munich

I suspect Bayern and PSG know that they would have a place if they wanted it and were sitting on the fence until it became clear which way the wind was blowing. I have no doubt that they would have joined if it actually went ahead.
