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

Very sad day.

Think we'd still have the domestic league. Too much money at stake to chuck us and the other 5 teams out

Just us then to make an example ;)

You changed my post from 'yes I'm backing my club' to 'yes I'm backing Mansours franchise'.

No doubt the European Super League would happen one day but why make it a closed competition? Thats the issue here.

A open competition for all, I could support, but closed to the same teams, year in, year our, you got to be having a laugh.

American model for all Europe

Thankyou to the Sheik for the good times
But I personally prefer to the smell of piss behind the kippax to your oil

I think we will back out of this, gut feeling. Otherwise maybe we can have a club in League 1 with Zaba, Kompany etc?

Any new club has to start at the bottom of the pyramid

The old system was far from perfect and it granted us tremendous competitive advantage but it was still competitive. The task before was extremely tough for any team but it has now changed to impossible. Without the founding club nonsense I think a lot of City fans could have squared this but of course the founding club nonsense is the basis of the entire escapade

It was definitely competitive.

Despite all the money, power and influence they have; since City were taken over:
United have spent 4 years outside the Top4
Liverpool have spent 7 years outside the Top4
Arsenal have spent 5 years outside the Top4
Chelsea have spent 4 years outside the Top4

...after they’d all spent 6 out of 8 years as the Top4 together before City were taken over.

This year three of that Sky4 could finish outside the Top4!

Since City were taken over there have been 5 different winners of the Prem, compared to 4 in the 15 years previous to our takeover.

TV rights money has seen the average quality of the league rocket. Bottom half Prem teams buying players from CL clubs.

The Prem is...was...in a very healthy state and heading in an even better direction.

Now we’ve fucked that! We are fucking over meritocracy for teams who deserve to be rewarded for being run well and finishing high up the highest quality league in world football. This season could have been the making of West Ham. Now what are they going to face in their future?

This Super League is literally a mard arse reaction from a bunch of wankers, who were once the only relevant clubs in their leagues, who have been run terribly for too long, who are in mountains of debt and frightened of losing their grip over success and money in their own leagues and in Europe, whove taken their ball to play in another bit of the park because the other lads were better than them... and City have fucking tagged along with them!

Very sad day.

And unfortunately going to get a lot worse. Shit times.
