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

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

I would like to think our legal team would have covered every angle

in fact if it’s true we signed up late is it possible we have joined up subject to a full and thorough legal review? That could be our get out clause

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.

I wish I shared your optimism, genuinely, but respectfully I just don't see it that way.

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

We were a year out of Europe despite all our lawyers. This proposed competition starts in 22/23. I don’t fancy a year of no league or cup games, with all our players suspended from international football on top.

This could get very nasty.

Making a further mockery of the word elite.

What about TNS?

Spending isn't a concern if they are adapting a model like NFL, the restrictions will be enough to still allow for a fairly big budget each year for all clubs involved. It's the only reason City would have considered it.

Also, lots still has to play out, we have to remind ourselves. It's not so black and white as to whether this plan actually goes through.

They’ll be adapting a model that suits them and shafts us. If you believe otherwise you’re deluded

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

either way why didnt we have the balls to turn them down..its not like we need the money..unlike 4 of the 6 who are in a financial mess

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Talks of kicking Us, Madrid and Chelsea out of the semi finals of the Champions League now. They can't do that can they?

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.

four games on your own tv channels to sell will soon become eight then twelve with the money rolling in for the two red clubs and RM/Barca

City and Chelsea, depending on New FFP?

I hate even thinking about this possible new world, but why would we be afraid of any spending restrictions? Our revenue is #6 in the world according to the latest Deloitte Money League.
