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

[Pingu the Penguin]

Dead in its current money making format, but not dead overall.

Everton, West Ham, Newcastle, Leciester, Leeds, Southampton, Villa, Wolves all big clubs with 30k+ fanbases.

Then add the two Sheffield clubs, Nottingham Forest, Watford, Mboro, Burnley, Palace, Brighton, West Brom, Stoke, Blackburn, Derby, Sunderland, Portsmouth all with 20k+ attendances. It would actually be a great competitive league.

Football wise it could be decent. But all the top players will be elsewhere. A mjaor reset for fotball. Not necessarily a bad thing.

EB
you just made it a whole lot worse

I am really sorry but I was sending an email to my granddaughter who plays for her Canadian Uni team and I always have to remember to say Soccer (not that she minds as her Mum and Dad are both Mancunians and ex-City season card holders, but I just think it is polite to say the word that she uses) and it occurred to me that we would probably be using Soccer soon!! Sorry King_Ralph_Blumer.

Utterly sunk by this. Can't really think straight and i've just been achingly sad since last night. It probably doesn't help now that I'm also possibly out of a job given my youtube channel was a full time endeavour. Emotionally and professionally devastated tbh.

what was your channel about?

manchester city have to be part of any new super league and makes no sense in not signing up
football and european football needs a revamp and if city are not involved it will still happen. at lease this way we get a vote and a say on the board and any rules have to be voted

manchester city had to change to keep up ? there was no way manchester city was winning a single thing other than promotion and relegation. its was that simple and its the same thing with signing up to the super league

i don't understand why all the moaning is about. from what i heard and seen its a reforming of the champions league and not the premier league ? ok the league cup will be lost to the super league teams. but in farness its one of the lowest competition and they all ready play weaken teams in it

am a old fart and manchester city will be forever in my soul and blood nobody can take the memories away
like a old fart hate changes but in football they happen all the time and if you don't keep up with them you are lost to the also rans

MANCHESTER CITY ARE A BIG CLUB and thank god we are in a place to be seen as a big club and can take on the big boys and beat them

Every improvement in football was resisted by those opposed to change from the Premier League, the back pass rule, to three points for a win.

Added time multi-ball!

Seriously though I doubt they'll do away with draws. The fact you can draw a game in a league context is precisely the kind of superficially "unique" thing about football that they would want to preserve. It's the underlying governance and financial structure that they potentially would make more 'American' for want of a better shorthand.

Unique ? You can play cricket for 5 days and still get a draw.

True but if the TV money takes a big hit (which in all likelyhood it will as the big money will go to the new ESL) then those clubs are going to struggle to balance their books

I except well be moving from one corrupt organisation to another

 

[M18CTID]

I took the time to look around oversea forums. The danger is the other continents, especially Asia, don't really give a shit, many of them actually LIKE the SL idea. I guess in the US it's the same. They care more about the big teams than the rest, so there will be plenty of business cases for these bastards.

Yep - those markets will lap it up by and large, and that seems to be what the clubs care about the most. I still think it will look fucking shit as a spectacle with only 15,000 fans rattling around the stadium when we play United though.
