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

[nmc]

Utterly sunk by this. Can't really think straight and i've just been achingly sad since last night. It probably doesn't help now that I'm also possibly out of a job given my youtube channel was a full time endeavour. Emotionally and professionally devastated tbh.

So sorry to hear you feeling like that.... take a breath and I hope things take an upturn for you.

Football in the UK is part of the fabric of our society for more than 100 years. For these clubs, particularly ours, to lack the insight and awareness of public response to this is absolutely criminal for a leadership team we all lauded over CAS.
As I hear more and more about this during the day it becomes absolutely clear to me, I'd rather the club gave me the opportunity to attend York away part 2.

Football on Disney!

Mickey Mouse competition?

manchester city have to be part of any new super league and makes no sense in not signing up
football and european football needs a revamp and if city are not involved it will still happen. at lease this way we get a vote and a say on the board and any rules have to be voted

manchester city had to change to keep up ? there was no way manchester city was winning a single thing other than promotion and relegation. its was that simple and its the same thing with signing up to the super league

i don't understand why all the moaning is about. from what i heard and seen its a reforming of the champions league and not the premier league ? ok the league cup will be lost to the super league teams. but in farness its one of the lowest competition and they all ready play weaken teams in it

am a old fart and manchester city will be forever in my soul and blood nobody can take the memories away
like a old fart hate changes but in football they happen all the time and if you don't keep up with them you are lost to the also rans

MANCHESTER CITY ARE A BIG CLUB and thank god we are in a place to be seen as a big club and can take on the big boy and beat them

The premier league games if go ahead would be an inconvenience to the big 6 and the players would be saved for the midweek "important" games and what would be the point of playing the league games with no qualifying at stake?

Bayern and the word integrity ? Haha

Bayern know they will be invited in and we will see their integrity when they (don’t) turn it down.

This has certainly been a unifying force across the fans of the "Sneaky Six" Clubs...

Amazing to see tbh.

 

[WNRH]

What choice do they have, practically? A premier league without the big 6 is dead

Dead in its current money making format, but not dead overall.

Everton, West Ham, Newcastle, Leciester, Leeds, Southampton, Villa, Wolves all big clubs with 30k+ fanbases.

Then add the two Sheffield clubs, Nottingham Forest, Watford, Mboro, Burnley, Palace, Brighton, West Brom, Stoke, Blackburn, Derby, Sunderland, Portsmouth all with 20k+ attendances. It would actually be a great competitive league.

My guess is that it's about finances, not integrity.

yep

Added time multi-ball!

Seriously though I doubt they'll do away with draws. The fact you can draw a game in a league context is precisely the kind of superficially "unique" thing about football that they would want to preserve. It's the underlying governance and financial structure that they potentially would make more 'American' for want of a better shorthand.

There is nothing unique about football the American club owners will want to preserve.

Ask Luddite Americans about football. "Boring." "Why do they always tie zero-zero?" "Whiners who fake injuries." "Not a real man's sport."

The entirety of the way the league will work will be to combat these perceptions so that the game makes inroads among Americans over baseball (which kids aren't playing anymore) and American football (which is ultimately doomed in its current form as the science increases on concussions).

One positive is -- as in basketball and hockey -- there will be more cards (or whatever) for flopping.

And the American clubs want to do this (1) before the MLS steals new soccer fans away and (2) before the players in Europe figure out a way to bargain collectively the way that American professional athletes in the big four sports do.

City are about to even more popular internationally with even more younger fans desperate for content and you're out of a job?
Football stuff aside, this is basically you winning the lottery from a work perspective.

It's a bit different when you're sat in front of a camera and have to act enthusiastic.
