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

[Bluemoon115]

Sadly, I think it's gone way past that stage bud

Couple of boardroom resignations would be needed too.

It's done. We've fucked it.

Manchester blues v London reds at the new york bowl AND ITS LIVE !!!!!!!!!!!

You know, if the media had spent less time with their heads up United and Liverpool's arses and fixating on how City and their evil Middle Eastern owner were going to ruin the game, they may have noticed the big dark cloud of American owned PL clubs that were conspiring to make these huge changes from the start like we'd been warning them about.

Of course City are in there too, but that's beside this specific point.

Yeah its amazing how much I've heard about how football is rooted in the idea any club could have a change of fortunes and March up to the top of the pyramid because I've spent the last 15 years watching everyone and their dog trying to stop exactly that happening.

2 years ago when UEFA brought up the idea of historical handicaps- the idea youd benefit from previously winning the CL, people cheered it as a way to preserve AC Milan and co against the petrodollars of City and PSG.

Similarly I cant believe how many times the word meritocratic has been thrown around without irony.

Because nothing says meritocracy like a sport where 3 clubs have a budget of 600m and some have a budget of 100m.

Why would they have asked us to join just to fuck us over? Surely they would have just not invited us?

So you think we are going to be on a level playing field, not a chance.

Just realized Anelka has played for 6/12 Super League team. Super League legend right there. If PSG join, then that is 7.

For a second there I thought Bolton had been invited!

 

[Northblue]

Hmm

Surely if we’ve already signed, we’ve reviewed the terms - fucking suicide if we’ve allowed ourselves to be shafted

 

[Don Karleone]

Why would they have asked us to join just to fuck us over? Surely they would have just not invited us?

Use us now to get what they want, throw us under the bus if (when hopefully) it goes to shit.

 

[wolviedinho]

So they're not just greedy, they're also spineless?

Totally out of order mate. The owners have never let us down and I fully believe that their action have our best interests at heart even if it might not seem clear at this moment in time.

City will be also rans in this.

City were finished either way as one of the top 2 or 3 most attractive clubs in the world. But they should have chose the option that saw us still have some “legacy fans” at the end of it all. We will probably receive half the money that the history clubs get and will face rules and regulations designed to impact us more than the others. Everything will have an element of past success weighting. We will be financially better off than if we didn’t join the ESL but we will be relative minnows within it. I’d rather be a relative minnow outside if it and keep our integrity. We were fucked either way, but they chose to fuck the fans too.

Pep tomorrow in his press conference will get more of a grilling than what Klopp got you can bet
