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

[decmancity]

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.

Is he still talking really slow and taking pauses to pretend as if he is being secretive what he is sharing?

And this is exactly the kind of absurd hysteria I'm talking about...

it's a funny old thing, perspective.

i remember reading many, many years ago about a proposed super league with euro teams taking part. it was rubbished back then. "never happen" i said it myself

now here we are. so let's look to the future, shall we?

"ESL up and running, and profitable. lots of new touristy fans turning up for their day out with their selfie sticks. but, whats that? there are 3 teams within 30 miles of each other in the north of england in the league? and 3 teams in london? thats no good, too concentrated.
lets spread them around a little.... lets move them to berlin, or munich, as their leagues are not involved, so we will give them a euro club to go see. two milan clubs? lets move them apart as well, stick one in Paris.

we have good feedback from the far east, lets play the City v Barca game there this year. think of the viewing figures, and we have a new sponsor in that region.

hang on, Boca Juniors want to join? ok, lets get them in. we can create a 2 tier league with 40 teams.... hang on, a world series league? how much money are we talking? ....dont worry the masses will go for it!!"

Well fucking said, and the post of the topic so far. I wouldn't want to be in the trenches with the majority on here, I know that for bleeding sure.

I'd rather a general who looked after his troops rather than fucked them into machine gun fire at the first opportunity.

What’s being said?

It's not civil war, it's nuclear war!

What’s being said?

Basically, members on each of the 6 boards opposed but all owners aligned. At least one club willing to fully remove themselves from the Prem if thats what is needed. City and Chelsea reluctantly signed up because they felt they had no other choice.

The more I think about it the more I'm convinced VAR was brought in without fans being in mind. It's so anti live football and fits the NFL structure perfectly with "ad breaks" etc. Plus millionaires betting don't want to lose money because of "luck" going the wrong way.

Could well be right, VAR decision quickly turns into a 10 second ad slot for budweiser etc etc

Only a few people are actively cheering against City. I've noticed you trying to paint the No voters as somehow not Blues but it's as wrong as those who do the same for the 60 Yes people.

It's precisely that I love this club, my club, that I'm devastated they are eschewing their morality, history and everything they stand for to jump in bed with cunts like the Glazers.

Thing is that most of the supporters won't be able to attending half of the games your club will be playing. The first ones getting shafted by this awful idea are the fans, yet some are still getting on board with it. Talk about being short-sighted.

Very few clubs, if any, of those who have joined will have any trouble filling the away end for every ESL game.

Could you point out where i've said they aren't Blues please?

No, but they weren't embarrassed when we could overtake clubs who, at that point, were bigger than us because we could go out and buy whoever we wanted, throwing money at it for fun to get us in a position where we could compete, and now dominate?

I'm not just saying this now because of this announcement, but I have always wondered if the investment was how it looked from the outside, or if there was a more long-term plan. I think this is that. The SL plan has been rumoured for ages. Do you think Sheikh Mansour would not have been looking into this for a long term plan for his investment? I do.

People can't be happy at someone coming in and doing what he has done, completely wiping out the competition for the majority of honours in the process, then say they are embarrassed when we join a competition for the clubs we have wanted to be - the giants of the game in other words. One leads from the other, and for me personally I think this is what the plan was all along. It is extremely hypocritical to be ok with the first part, but then not want the second part. Can you imagine what fans of other clubs would say if fans of our club start harping on about turning their back on the club, after a decade of feasting on the fruits of the Sheikh's investment?

This project ensures that there can never be another Sheikh Mansoor or Khaldoon Al Mubarak. There can never be another Man City, or not another story like we have had since the takeover. Because you can't take a team to the top anymore. It's just like the NFL.
