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

[M18CTID]

UEFA tried to destroy us mainly because of the teams we joined the ESL with!

That's a more accurate description.

to be fair the Arsenal fans have been delusional for years, paying crazy money watching no investment in their team as wenger chased his moral top 4 finish trophy

if you look at their club they would be mad not to sign up for this as they won't get any money out of their owner and the debts are still high

I can see the logic for SPurs and Arsenal. I can see the temptation for City - a wheelbarrow of money - but we were on to a good thing. Exit. Survive with some dignity and take the ESL through the safer route, the Champions League.

Come on City, do the right fcuking thing

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Problem is, we become even more irrelevant than we previously were, going back with tail between our legs to UEFA.

Tebas in now on their payroll and he was gunning for us even before this breakaway.

This is about taking power away from Uefa. It comes to something when they can claim the moral high ground at present.

Damned if we do, damned if don't.

But we’d recover some of our integrity and that means more to me right now. I am resigned to City’s competitiveness decreasing either way, I just want to recognise the club as having even vaguely similar values to the one I fell in love with.

Sure, but CIty pulling out could start chain reaction. Atletico and Chelsea are in poor position like us.

These are still three major clubs and this league would take big hit if this happened, especially as PSG and Bayern are not in this too.

Atletico and Chelsea need/want the money more than most, why would they leave?

I don't think City have any intentions on sitting down with Bayern and PSG, by far the most outspoken about us since the takeover, let them have the CL to themselves just like they do in Germany and France.

 

[Akiva]

That's a more accurate description.

I mean literally the other 5 teams are signatories to that letter. Why does everyone keep ignoring this?

We are literally jumping into bed with those who used all their might and mane to fuck us not even a year ago - in a move that will benefit only them.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

The backlash, and also Perez spoke. I think his interview has ruined his Madrid bail-out league for him.

But you don't make a decision, receive rightful criticism for that decision and then say this isnt what you signed up for. The ideology behind the Super League as of yet hasn't changed. This version of the Super League is exactly what they signed up for.

Perez being a lunatic saying that its to save football whilst wanting the best for Madrid will not be a surprise to the other clubs.

 

[wolviedinho]

It was Kroenke, Herny, Perez who tried to destroy us. They just used UEFA for it. Are you seriously this naive?!?!?

That these people now like us and it was just UEFA. Now it wasn't.

Perez just slagged us off, basically saying that we dont bring in enough viewers

Yes I agree the cabal are equally guilty but we can’t keep fighting these clubs. If we go back to uefa now do you really believe anything they say? FFP part 2 fuck city will be well under way before the club tell the super squad to fuck off. Both beds are rotten but we gotta sleep somewhere.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Funny but a bit small time.

 

[SWP's back]

Apologies if it's been mentioned above (this thread is moving bloody fast), and I might be looking in the wrong place, but the announcement about the ESL on the official website isn't there anymore.

It is.
