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

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Don't know why but i said this in my head in Ivan Drago's voice.

I must break you!

 

[blue5ter]

Do I - and many other match going fans

Here's the only thing that really counts

Nobody behind all this gives a f**k about you, me or any other match going fans

This last season has proven we are dispensible

We account for a decreasing percentage of the revenue stream

I'm sure they would prefer if we were on board all other things being equal, but nothing more than that. The American franchise model that is driving this has seen owners move clubs from one city to another - what more do you need to know than that

 

[Keeper!]

He will say nothing, its not his style. He will give a few soundbites about football as a whole, but he wont criticise our owners at all. Bit like Klopp yesterday, few scraps for the fans to get behind but then say how great the owners are. Completely sitting on the fence.

Not so sure, he is well rewarded but in return has give this club his all, he , his staff were stabbed in the back on Sunday , months of hard work and sacrifice, simply destroyed by greed and appalling timing.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

he's only arsed as he know's teh following.

1.) he may not get to cover the ESL
2.) Salford will never into the Elite competition

What’s the issue with number two? He’s got every right to invest in Salford.

With our game coming up against Villa I am not surprised Pep wants the club to make a statement - he is aware of whats coming in the interviews

The last thing we need is for him as the first manager to resign & walk away

 

[willipp]

Wowzers

Being pissed about the timing is very different than being pissed about the proposals.

 

[rabby]

Rightly so
If we pulled out before Villa I'm convinced we'd see a stella performance

Be a step too far for me if they turn up pissed

 

[dave_blue12]

Simon Jordan on Talksport talking a lot of sense.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

This is the guy leading us over the top, folks! I can tell already this is going to end well for the club...

Most people on here don't want this new SL. That's fine but most people on here don't like the CL - always playing the same crap clubs before the 'fun' really starts. So, what is your answer?? The new CL proposal by UEFA will probably mean more of the same crap games but less money because it will have to spread further. What is your answer?

I don’t get this. Perez alluded to it yesterday too, around these “crap” games and nobody being interested about the CL before the last 8.

He’s absolutely right. But these games aren’t crap because of the quality of opponent, it’s the complete lack of jeopardy created by group stage format. Lose a game it doesn’t matter, you can make up the points later. We’ve had group games against the biggest of sides over the years and while these have been good, do they ever have the same drama as the knockouts?

Both ESL and the new CL are just a further extension of these group stages that will create even more drama-less and even dead rubber games that nobody gives a shit about. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is, the format is dull.
