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

[Doctor Jimmy and Mr Jim]

I've struggled to put into words how I feel about this horror show. The best I can come up with without my head exploding is "what a crock of absolute shit". Greed....pure and simple.

I cannot believe our club has signed up to this. It seems we were last to sign up of the 'Big 6' which would suggest we had doubts. Were we backed into a corner as some reports say? If so, how? And I would love to know if the club felt there was an alternative course to follow.

The three English clubs who originally pushed this, with their American owners, it's so obvious they have a business model with their clubs that is well and truly fucked. Arsenal....Arsenal! fuck me what an irrelevant side if ever their was one....Utd who have owners that have piled on the debt and bled the club dry.....Liverpool with their 'moneyball' crap. And they have the gall to demand a seat at the top table no matter how shit they are. No-one has that right, not even City. So they make a power and money grab to protect their own interests and fuck the fans over royally. They don't give a fuck about fans, or helping clubs lower down the pyramid, or creating a better standard of football. It's all nonsense. It's about one thing only....money. Fuck them all. Today, sadly, I feel angry and embarrassed to be a City fan and see my club sign up for this shitshow.

We've signed a contract agreeing to participate in this for the next 23 years, apparently.

If so it will be more like an MoU with break clauses.

I think City would be happy to see it fail but don't want to be on the outside looking in if it succeeds.

It won't.

Still absolute radio silence from any players or managers involved with this ESL. That silence speaks volumes. Would not suprise me if they have been told to say nothing in case of lawsuits.

Our supporter group should be inside the ground right now removing our banners

This is EXACTLY what the owners want ffs. They want players to become commodities, turn clubs into franchises, play when required. It would actually suit ESL smh

The thing that sickens me (and I'm sure I'm not the first to mention it, but I'm not going through 400+ pages) is that, IIRC, the other 5 were all signatories to that infamous letter. And now we've climbed into bed with them.

This would be perfect for me. Even closer to my house than City’s ground is. A nice leisurely stroll down the Yellow Brick Road with a few tins, and call in at the Waggon And Horses en route....

That fucking clown of a PM Johnson is against it. It must be a brilliant idea then. Yet he is not a state interventionist and the government are huge fans of capitalism and love nothing more than protecting the gilded elite.

I wonder what all those people who voted for brexit think about it :))

Whatever will be, will be, and we can kick and scream and shout , we can swear and protest (oh no we cant its banned) then come KO time the Etihad will be full (apart from the empty seats of course) and the lads in sky blue will be supported, because that it what we do whether we are playing Real Madrid or Rotherham, AC Milan or Aldershot. We will still hate those cunts from Stretford and Liverpool will still be horrible cunts. On the plus side we wont have to play against that **** Vardy.

I expect there will be a compromise, where a European Super League takes the place of the CL and the PL carries on as normal. Teams in ESL will have enough money to pay for two teams and squads of 40 will be the norm. City will play 70 games a season instead of 50.

I do think it is really hypocritical of all these politicians on TV suddenly caring about fans, when they haven't given two fucks about us for a generation. Anything for a vote though.

I can't help but think though that UEFA have brought this upon themselves, they started it with their idiotic proposals for the CL and by involving non champions in the CL and i certainly will shed no tears about their demise.


how would we have though if we were in the 3rd division about to play Gillingham, would we be thinking we had been left behind and there was no future for us and we would have just slid into anonymity. With money comes power and with power comes more wealth, that is how capitalism works and unless all of you cunts are going to join me and become anti capitalist crusaders then you will just have to suck it up I am afraid.

Whose going Milan away?

boris opposes something you are against and you still find a way to slag him off.

Any opportunity to lay a wreath with this lot.

they had to look up 'shame' in the dictionary
