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

Pep must have been privy to this and support it.

He only signed a new contract in November and the owners must have shared some of the vision with him, especially as he classes them as "friends". On the other side of this, if he signed that contract and had no prior warning or knowledge and hates the idea, I can see him walking.

Think I will start supporting Maine Road if this goes ahead, will always be a Blue at heart but I won’t be lining the pockets the juggernaut rolling over the top of football as we know it...

The prawn sandwich brigade can crack on without me...!

Hope the response to this is not the usual british shrugging of shoulders and just hope it goes away.
There really needs to be a organized campaign to stop this shit.
Collective club action,petitions to let club owners know the extent of opposition to this.
It's extraordinary that some extra cash can convince club owners that this is a sensible move.Why give up being big fish in a small pond to become smaller fish in a larger pond,there can only be one league winner.
The financial advantage that our clubs have currently over the other big european leagues through the tv deals would be lost and the lure of Real and Barca would likely become greater,fairly soon we might become also rans.
This is not even taking into account the damage to 150 years of our domestic game and our reputation that at the first sign of cash being dangled in front of our noses we fuck off.

I would say it is absolutely nailed on he would have been told about it, the same with KDB too.

They would be destroying themselves financially if they did want the 6 kicked out.

Kicking the top 6 our of the Premier League would probably destroy half the pyramid.

The TV rights deal that's currently up for renewal would be 1/3rd of what it was before at best? Club's would go from earning £100m a year to £25m, maybe 30?

Some Premier league clubs would not be able to downsize quick enough. The transfer market would crash, the parachute payments would stop and bankrupt some Championship clubs. Money would stop going from PL -> Champ -> League 1 & 2 via transfers. Support payments would be decimated.

Best case scenario would be English football going from the biggest and richest league in the world to an also ran alongside Belgium, Netherlands, Russia etc.

Every owner would lose half the valuation of their club.

It would be the suicide.

 

[The perfect fumble]

The clubs though have a point. How long have City fans hated UEFA, called it corrupt, despised the CL?

This is a breakaway from UEFA not the PL, we would still play in the PL and without UEFA squad limits we could easily afford a squad of 40 players that are registered for both competitions.

That's an argument for leaving the Mafia to join the Camorra.

I.e. No argument at all.

Agree so why the fuck was he talking about us building history in the CL 6 days ago.

 

[manimanc]

Porto has been asked to join but refused saying it's against the principals of football.
There will be more clubs saying the same as the day goes on.

 

[burning blue soul]

Not really, he’ll just say what we want to hear in some form or other.

i know what i want to hear! im pretty sure he isnt going to say that.

 

[City Raider]

Are we still booing UEFA then? Confused.
