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

[cookster]

I've just loaded my BBQ into the SUV for home games next season. Not going into the ground just cooking on the carpark.

That's who we are now, right?

 

[Cheesy]

The club has effectively said they don't give a shit about the Champions League so I'm struggling to also.

Kick us out.

 

[glyntowen]

if anyone thinks being part of this is a good thing then they haven't got a clue
we will be thinking we have things under control but there will be 11 other clubs working to fuck us over, no doubt about it

we were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I hate UEFA \ FIFA with a passion, corrupt organisations that are all about money. I have no interest in the CL, we shouldn't even be in it this year as we aren't champions, they should rebrand it to 'the money making league for the old guard who are a bit shit now trophy'

the issue with ESL is the corruption within UEFA is now part of the ESL
it's made up of the same cartel of clubs who are badly run, massively in debt that want a free pass at getting tons of cash each season even if they are shit

Agnelli is the worst of the bunch, wouldn't believe a word this man says. For him to come out and ask why Roma didn't get CL but Atalanta did sums him up - Atalanta got CL because they did better than Roma - its how it should be - Roma's history amounts to 30 years of qualifying and achieving the square root of fuck all

I wish we had the balls to tell them no way - shame all they good work from the takeover is undone but the choice has been made by the club, one 'legacy' supporter less here

JPMORGAN are a bank!
Thought they were a brand of whiskey

That's a bit rum.

"Unfair" -- mate, do you know how the Super League will view this?

"It's unfair that a club that's part of the Super League has to drag along some schlub club like Burnley by playing them twice a season, helping them financially, when they could be using the same time and resources to be playing Real Madrid in OUR league, to our benefit, and to the benefit of City themselves."

We're leaving the Prem. So we don't need to worry about the "stratification." We won't be a part of it at some point.

I want domestic competition. If football is based on your financial assets its not football. Of course it largely is already but this is a swing of the pendulum too far.

I can't for one moment see this happening now. The question is how much damaged have we done to ourselves in respect of a plan that was designed to rescue other clubs.

Our executives are poor.

 

[Eoiyflem]

They’ll just put the clubs knocked out in the last round through.
No wonder Bayern are quiet.

PSG out them out so they're gone regardless

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Not sure what has pissed you off. City are advised that several clubs resent EUFA's control of revenues from the CL and they have 2 options. Tell them we are not interested because we are not your best mates or be pragmatic and reluctantly stand up to EUFA?

Pissed off is an understatement

Pissed off that the club I have followed through the bad times who I fought the corner when other fans stated we were only in it because of money and glory jumped into bed with the fuckers who wanted us out

Fucking fuming that my club as become that franchise

The franchise which no longer offers you a pie and a pint but a milkshake and a hot dog

The franchise that sees me and my family as a customer

The franchise that couldn’t give a fuck about loyalty

 

[grifter]

We were all dead set to dominate the next decade but instead we’ve handed the impetus back to the clubs who have done everything to stop our progress post takeover, whilst destroying domestic football in the process. I’ll never forgive this decision even if we went back on it, there’d be a lingering bitterness. I won’t follow another club and it hurts but honestly fuck this I’m out.

 

[Blue Llama]

Speculation based on logic, and the experience of watching American sports leagues thrive (more or less) for 50+ years.

Why the hell would the Super League want centavo one generated by its clubs circulating anywhere but within the league itself? City will get 57 matches a year in the league (one home, one away, one neutral venue against each other member), and probably a newfangled random draw Cup, and playoffs -- that'll be 70 matches a year with every drop part and parcel of the Super League.

It's the inevitable outcome.

Suggest you spend big on the lottery this week as you clearly have exceptional abilities to see the future.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

I'm sure this has probably been asked already but are any of the flags/banners on display in the ground at the moment owned by fans or were they all purchased by the club? A small gesture but get the fan owned ones removed before the next home match.
