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

[Brad mcfc]

Expected really

 

[Keeper!]

Karen Woodward of Bananarama and Belinda Carlisle can play on my pitch anytime!

Belinda would melt under the floodlights in a night match, botox heaven

 

[WNRH]

That's bit unfair.

I don't think it is. These managers and players need to think outside their job securities and think of the future health of the game that gave them the fame and wealth.

 

[CC1]

Disappointed in pep thought he was a man of principle

You are being rather quick to judge. All managers and players seem to have been told not to discuss. He is a man of principle but we don't know what is going on behind the scenes.

 

[dubblue]

Pep not answering any questions re ESL, another spineless club action.

Yep,cowards.

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

Belinda would melt under the floodlights in a night match, botox heaven

I’d cope!

 

[worsleyweb]

I imagine he'll just diplomatically swerve the questions, saying that he's only here to talk about the Villa game.

well he is piss weak if he does. He is a man of principle and would go down in my estimation if he does. I have always been a great advocate of say whatever the fuck you feel.

We don't know where that term has been coined, so let's give them the benefit of the doubt for now, although it certainly does sound like something Soriano would say.

It is a term used by american investors to describe the fans of clubs from surroundding areas. A business term for those who do not buy a lot on a matchday, unlike a tourist who pays through the nose to dress like a matchday Tony Pulis

 

[Academica]

Can we fuck off this legavy fan term that keeos getting an airing, it’s a load of old shite!

That's the exact description of a legacy fan.

I've slept on it and i will be honest, I don't feel that strongly or angry about it at the moment as i dont think we have the full facts of what this is going to look like. This is all a natural evolution of where the "game" has been going for the last 30 years. Football at this level is no longer a game, it's a business. That doesn't mean the consumer can't enjoy it. However we (as fans) have to realise that, and try and enjoy the sport for what it is, as sad as what it has become over the years. From the First division to the Premier league. European Cup to Champions League. Its geared to make money.
All this talk about competitiveness - the Champions League is a closed shop anyway for the big leagues - in the last 20 years, only one English club outside the big 6 has made the group stages of the CL - Leicester (might be wrong there)
And UEFA - don't make me laugh about them being the moral arbiter of the Sport as they are seemingly trying to proclaim - they talk about this "spitting in the face of fans", meanwhile they pass legislation which expands the CL by 4 teams and 100 games in 3 years time - and re-engineer the competition so the big clubs & UEFA benefit again.
City have become a global team over the years since the takeover and are ran like a well oiled business to make money.
Its never going to be the same City from years ago, its changed and evolved and this is where we are in 2021.
