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

Good on them, wish we could do something similar!

Resignations, contracts signed, club silence. The writing is on the wall.

Yep. This is an ongoing coup, and at the very least United, Arsenal, Liverpool and the Spanish teams are not fucking about. That isn't letting us off the hook, and it doesn't mean the coup will be successful, but this isn't a power move, and if we've gone into thinking that's all it is then we are fucking naive.

Rags debt and most of Barca/Madrid's gone....as Paul Daniels would say 'that's magic!'

Not sure we're in the position to be calling out any clubs.

I meant in terms of quality on the pitch.

For me this scandal is right up there with them taking the proper liquorice ones out of midget gems. twaaaaats.

Honestly don't think I'd be as pissed off as I am if it wasn't a closed shop. If there were a chance for your Leicesters, Everton's and West Hams to have a bash at the expense of the worst performing teams from each country (Spurs, Arsenal ffs) at least that would keep it somewhat fresh.

I've thought the CL a busted flush for a long time, but fuck me this is not the answer. It'll get old really fucking quick.

Same here. Honestly wouldn't be that bothered by it if not for the closed shop aspect of it, but then again, being closed shop is a large part of it.

I'm honest enough to say yes for myself, whatever ridicule that admittedly entails, etc?

I only care about City, we do what serves our best interests, whether that be this or something else.

Nobody gave a shit when Bury went to the wall and nobody gave a shit about City when we were mocked.

I would rather be pragmatic, than be left behind, as I think football has been holding on to some romantic image that hasn't existed for three decades.

I don't like change, but I know I have to accept it, or things in life will move on without me, whether I like it or not.

I respect those opinions of those who have a wider love of the game, but I won't be turning my back on the club.

Fair play to you for having that opinion mate.

My business head understands why, but my heart & my sporting principles can’t accept this are being the right thing to do.

Ive managed an amateur Saturday League team for the past 8 years & we’ve gone from a 3rd division team to runners up of the Lancashire & Cheshire Prem in the last 2 seasons that were completed before Covid, so my team could now be considered an ‘elite team’ in the league we play in. (Not that amateur football could ever be considered elite lol)

If there was a proposal to scrap relegation in my league, which would benefit my team, I’d vote against it.

It’s all about sporting merit for me, not about a closed shop to benefit my team.

Whichever way it goes, it’s a right shit show as the new CL proposals aren’t really much better!

Spare a thought for how Narthan Ake is feeling right now.

Injured most of the season, finally back in time to get into the Holland side, and now told he can't go..

 

[SWP's back]

I'm curious, what will motivate the "established" top 6 in domestic competition if they are already guaranteed a european spot in the super league.

The same as when there was no European competition and the same as when there was only 1 CL spot I’d imagine.
