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

[simplest2remember]

I think City should take the moral high ground - something our sheik owners will be keen to do - and stay where we are. Meanwhile make it painful for the new league to succeed. The players need to feel that the right thing to do is not follow the money in this case - that new format would get pretty boring after a year or two. 3 clubs in London, 3 clubs in North West. What about the rest of the country?

There is a lot of angst in this thread but most of it is based on two perceptions. Today it's the CL that will suffer but tomorrow it's the PL. And point 2, we are getting into bed with our enemies. We don't know what tomorrow holds but if the problem is tomorrow why react today if its only based on supposition? Point 2, we have worked hard in the past 13 years to get where we are, to reject a new European cup competition because we don't like our bedfellows would be childish and detrimental to the club's future.

It's a club most of us don't recognise anymore.
Apart from the sky blue shirts, this doesn't feel like the Manchester City we know and love.

Only been in the CL for 10 years lol. The same shit fucking cup that no one seemed to give a fuck about. Some people.

It’s not about the CL, it’s about English football. The ESL will ruin English football.

I see United fans have gone down the ‘working class game’ route with a much televised banner of “made by the poor, stolen by the rich’. Quite right too.
Anyone looking for an idea for a succinct banner to sum up the majority feeling on here can have this:
‘LOVE FOOTBALL, HATE SOCCER’.

The poker analogy doesn't work as well for me just because two groups have gone all in -- we don't actually know what their cards are yet, nor do you know what our cards are. The flop was a bad card for everyone -- widespread outrage from all corners of the globe. We haven't seen the turn nor the river and don't know who's won yet.

I do agree that we've kept our poker face better, and that the motivations are pretty clear for those groups who are all in. What I don't know is OUR motivation. All I know is we are in the game. While I agree that those calling our owners cunts or saying trust is forever broken are overreacting with limited information, with that same information I absolutely feel shame -- shame because we are playing this game in the first place (even if we had to). I'm just hoping we aren't the sucker at the table.

We have blown a massive PR opportunity in my opinion, if we had not gone in, the world of Football would have thanked us, as it is unless we backtrack quickly we are done, our reputation badly damaged and our owners reputation fatally damaged in term of his ownership.

Not a time for rivalry, this is an attack on the beautiful game, we need to ALL come together to stop this and once it is stopped the rivalry returns and is stronger than ever.

Rangers and Celtic will end up in this at some point.

Not a chance

No.

It's about sporting principles.
It's about NOT having a closed shop that irrevocably perpetuates the elite few regardless of sporting merit.
It's about giving all clubs the chance at the dream.

If this had come in ten years ago then City wouldn't have been one of the invited few, how would you have felt about it then?

Two options either of them excludes the sporting merit With UEFA’s proposal for revamped ECL clubs currently in top four wouldn’t qualify because their ranking was less than others lower in the table Both options stink

We’ll be the first to withdraw, or possibly with Chelsea at the same time, and this super league will fall on its arse. Bayern and Dorty won’t be going in and neither will PSG due to their links with Uefa.
