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

[ShaunMCFC]

hate the cunts but fair play

Maybe I am struggling here mate but how is restructuring European competition football fucking off fans?
Provided the national leagues and other competitions remain the same this would not really alter the fan experience for the clubs involved.
Providing there is a fair system for promoting clubs in and out of the league I can’t see a problem. What I do disagree with is the concept of founder members automatically bein in the league but that is not much different to what UEFA have proposed with clubs automatically qualifying on historical grounds.
I suspect there will be an awful lot of negotiations ahead before a final format is established and maybe the super league current stance is simply the start of an extreme negotiating position.
Anyway it’s rattled UEFA’s corrupt establishment and I’m all for that!

One corrupt organisation replaced by another ? Meet the new boss...same as the old boss.

Any opportunity to lay a wreath with this lot.

This might not be the appropriate moment but...

After Soriano basically fucked over Mancini we should probably not be that surprised by what's gone on here.

No coming back from this.

should be 1892-1985 tbh.

We need to do the same at the Etihad

In any situation where you’re given a choice to make, you have to look at your alternatives.

What’s clear is this was hatched up without us - and was happening - with us in it or not.

We were offered a choice to be part of the ESL proposal, or to stay with UEFA’s competition in a revised form which is also a compete fucking stitch up.

In that situation, both choices were shite - so it looks like we took the best option.

There was no continuity ‘stay as it is’ option available.

Frankly, I don’t blame the Club for not trusting UEFA as much as I wouldn’t blame them for not trusting the Yanks.

Some on here seem to be reacting as if we have walked out on a mystery option which somehow retained the ‘soul of football’ within it.

That option does not exist.

This was one shit show against another - and we chose the most advantageous option for our Club.

We clearly weren’t the architects of this, but were forced to make a choice between two sides.

I may be being thick here, but I just don’t see this honourable third option you all seem to be lamenting actually existing anywhere in reality.

I don't agree. Whilst they are the owners, they are also custodians and have to protect the long-term interests of the club?

You and me will be long gone one day, there are no kids to take our place, as the song states.

The way people consume life is changing quicker than I ever thought possible. Globalisation is happening across all society and will continue to do so.

It was sad that so many people lost their jobs at Debenhams, but the likes of Amazon have come along and have driven them to the wall, doing it quicker and better than the High Street.

I'm 46, so have seen how City have changed during my lifetime, the club as we once knew it died a long time ago.

I like this version better than the one I grew up with, it was shit, barring the banter with my mates and the dreams of City one day winning everything in sight.

As I say, people are entitled to their own viewpoint, but the club will know why the dots have to join up.

There is a massive echo chamber at present, fulled by SKY and Uefa, social media, all with their own agendas.

My agenda will always be City being at the top.

At what cost?

I want to see City win everything, but theres no glory winning a competition, if you have shat all over the fabric of football to do it.

We are mostly against this whole idea and we are on the inside of it. In theory the club should become richer and prosper more than ever before. How are fans of those clubs on the outside feeling though? They're probably wondering if they will even have a club to support in a few years. No amount of trophies will make me feel good about potentially playing a major part in sending other clubs to their doom.

I am appalled!

I find I agree with Boris Johnson....

I'll never vote Tory but I've never wanted him to succeed more.

Sky saying clubs have SIGNED contracts with commitment for 23 years.

 

[East Level 2]

Listening to Ratty and our ex, Bernstein. Might be have had no choice.
Going on about "imposters" owning clubs and financial unfairness.
Ie. Let's screw City.
Maybe best to be inside pissing out.

It is always better to be inside pissing out. But not inside this particular tent.
