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

[bluemoon32]

I’m praying CITY put out a statement soon saying that we are no way part of this.

The silence is deafening. Even if they just said all we agreed to was to look at proposals and nothing more that would be better than silence.

I hope i'm wrong but it has the look of us as that shithouse sitting on the sidelines waiting to jump ship to whichever side the wind blows

Its just like the NFL, no promotion or relegation, same teams, no chance of smaller clubs attaining their dream. It's a kick in the teeth to every football fan

I can’t resist commenting that I am no expert but I understand the NFL is actually a very fair league, competitively.
Edit - for those in the league. So it’s not a kick in the teeth for every footy fan, just those who support the teams aspiring to get there.

uefa being kinda on the right side for once. city should not get entangled with this super league bs, no one besides old money club owners really want this, and even then im pretty sure they're just playing hard ball with uefa

I actually don’t believe we would have been so naive to get involved in something so flawed. Our owners negotiate the most complex deals on the planet and I can’t see them thinking this was a bright idea

I would be pretty funny if Burnley beat United a few hours before United say they're joining a super league.

Have the rags said anything yet , probably still need a helping hand to beat Burnley first.

I’m really looking forward to Soriano explaining to us his thought process...

Quite simple, UEFA have done everything in their power to try and stop us for years, dragged us through the courts and publically embarassed us. Now they are about to lose all of their big earners and UEFA will fold.

For those championing PSG, they are keeping Fifa on side till after 2022 then they will be signing up.

If City are willing to climb into bed with the very same clubs who have spent the last decade trying to ruin us then my respect and admiration I've held for our owners and chairman will have been for nothing.
This was our perfect chance to stand up and be counted. Failing to do so is failing the club and the supporters.
Shame on us if we want to be a part of this.

Whoever joins this fucking super Dooper league are fucking Whores

Would rather watch us in the old third division battling Fulham for promotion than get in bed with the Rags, Dippers and Madrid

Simon Stone article on BBC website - 11 teams, 5 English...

Fingers crossed boys and girls...

PSG disagree, and they're in the same situation as us.

They don’t compete domestically with 5 other teams in the competition. Not that I agree with us joining (if we have agreed) in the slightest, but their situation isn’t quite the same
