It would alter the fan experience of every single club in Europe. The clubs who are striving to get better and compete with the "elite" (Arsenal, elite in midtable, lol!) like Leicester and West Ham, Sevilla, Atalanta etc. will not be able to compete in this competition. They won't be allowed in. The clubs who dream that their fortunes change and they get invested in, even if they’re as slim as owt, will die.

Also, who the hell do you think were behind all the UEFA moves and motives to try and stop City over the years? You guessed it... the people from the clubs we’re getting into bed with!

Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer the saying goes!
As for clubs getting in and out I understand there will be a promotion and relegation system in place. It will however probably mean you will be unlikely to be able to make an away trip to Ludogrets, Poznań or Donetsk in years to come. Is that really a big miss?? (Of course it is for the football purists but it wold be offset by regular visits to Madrid, Barcelona and Milan among others....)

This Kaveh fella on SSN apparently getting quotes from a founder member board member. What a load of shite. There is no way someone at the board at one of these clubs has reached out to him to give him all this info.

If it's anything like his transfer sources, I'd take it with a bloody great big pinch of salt.
 
I cannot understand how we've got involved with this. Khaldoon may have his hands tied, but with all the community investment and acknowledgements constantly about Citys history and status as a peoples club, it is shameful we are part of it. Some of the clubs are billions in debt and you can see that this must be a desperate move by them to rectify that, but we don't have any debt so this is simply greed. And a competition that doesn't involve huge clubs that are community led (Bayern, Dortmund etc) is never going to be an elite competition anyway. Arsenal?? FFS

I can't believe any English club would ever quit the PL which is much more lucrative than any European competition. Nor would the PL throw out the big clubs. This is a fight between the US owners and UEFA and City are stuck in the middle. The irony of course is that the CAS decision in our favour made UEFA's position in this battle even weaker which may not help us in the long run.

Not only the UEFA, the US owners and the 12 have basically declared war on FIFA to which the UEFA and all national football federations are affiliated. There's no way the FIFA is going to let it happen and let their competitions undermined and all the money go away.

Their ban threats are very real, they won't back down and should the 12 go all the way through, then all bets are off.

Top 6 club board member has said they'd be willing to leave the premier league, all about profit and revenue, wider football good is secondary to revenues, weakened teams to be played in premier league if needs be.

Other 14 premier league clubs lobbying premier league to kick out the 6 english clubs from the league with immediate effect.

Sadly (can't believe I wrote that) Ferguson has no pull whatsoever anymore.

I read this morning that Sir Red Nose said he wasnt party to the decision. I thought he was a Director of United.


This decision must have been taken at Board level and must have been ratified by a Board vote.

I can only conclude 1. He’s lying or 2. He wasnt at the board meeting and they had a quorum sufficient to carry the vote.

It is entirely possible the owners only invited enough Directors to the meeting to form a quorum and didn’t invite those they thought would oppose the Vote.

I now expect he will do the honourable thing and resign. Btw, where’s his mate Bobby Charlton. Isn‘t he also a Director? He’s been very quiet.
