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

[kippaxwarrior]

All those saying we had to do it, no we didn’t. If Bayern and PSG can go without, then so can we.

I’m disgusted at the club

PSG chairman is on the UEFA board so its tricky for them but I think they will eventually follow suit. In Germany they have the 50 plus 1 rule which means 49% of the club is owned by the fans so it would have to go to a vote. Only RB Leipzig don't have that rule as they are owned by Red Bull so I can see them joining

We all knew a European Super League was on the cards, but no one expected it to happen this quickly and in this way. If thiS has nothing to do with trying to get a bigger slice of the CL, why has the announcement been timed to coincide with the day the CL reforms were being announced? I suspect the announcement of those reforms will be delayed and we will end up with a hybrid CL/ESL with certain clubs being guaranteed entry. If we hadn’t joined this, we would have gained some nice PR in the short term but strategically we’d have been worse off in the long run.

A disgrace!

Arsenal, Liverpool’s and Spurs christmases all come at once!
Anymore moaning I might do about our club not being treated fairly in the press to anyone who isn’t a “Pig Six” club and I will get told to quite rightly fuck off

As we seem to be going down the American sports route.
Will there be a draft system so the team that finishes bottom of Super league gets to pick the best academy players developed by all the other clubs for no transfer fee.I can see it now Haaland coming through at say Ac Milan and City have just finished bottom so we get to pick him for free.
The other thing the yanks do is all mercandise and ticket sales are shared equally anybody see that happening?

Pretty obvious to me he didn't know. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him walk.

And go where? All the top teams are in this shite and if wants to carry on earning as much as he does then here is where he’d stay. Maybe he packs it in all together idk

I did more than you'll ever know. But objectively, not blindly.

This is disgusting

I can understand this, somewhat.

Most of us have supported City since we were kids off the backs of our parents doing the same and their parents the same. City is our club.

It's not that we're walking away from City, but City seems to be walking away from us. The fans don't matter any more, our voice is silent, our presence unnecessary, our support replacable. We aren't the working class Manchester "team of the people" anymore, just the rags or dippers in Blue. Our identity, history, passion and morality are all being sold off here, so can any of us honestly say this is the club we support and love?

When the cartel dick us (And eventually will) we deserve everything we get...

Wrote that and realised were now part of the cartel!!!!

Even if as some have suggested that this may be another bluff call (which I personally dont think it is this time around) so they can dictate to UEFA - Then ALL parties should be sanctioned and banned for a set period for what they have done

I honestly think that this is more than a bluf call this time, The threats from the premier league etc etc are warranted but lets not forget that the PL also has played its part in creating the behemoth that todays game is - it isnt domestic anymore, as much as we hate to say it the game is now global on an unprecedented scale

If the super league goes through, the premier league will never kick the 6 clubs out - a deal will be settled on so the cash cow clubs that bring in the revenue can remain

I can't make my mind up with this. On one hand I'm all for it if it means extra income coming in but on the other hand it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth that it's going to mess up the footballing ladder.
If we read between the lines basically all the clubs that are in debt are in this and it's as clear as day the only reason they've done this is because they are all flying by the seat of their pants.
One positive to come out of it I suppose is we're sticking two fingers up to UEFA after the shite they've put us through. It's going to be weird but us as fans have absolutely zero say in things. We've already released a statement saying we're part of it but another thing that sticks in my throat is us getting into bed with the enemy, the same enemy that wanted us thrown out the champions league before any outcome at CAS.
Somehow though I just can't see this new super league happening.
