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

[Fred_Quimby]

Not surprising something like this has happened. Pep was dead correct - everyone looks after themselves. Just look at this season; PL didn’t give a sh1t when they started this season late and insisted on a FULL season no matter what, including both national cups, the International matches and they couldn’t give a stuff when players had to play up to 3 matches on an International fortnight even when some of those were friendlies. City players have been playing 2 or 3 times, on occasions, a week and nobody UEFA, FA, PL and so on give a stuff if players are tired/injured etc.

Lump into that the atrocious way we have been treated by UEFA and the appalling way VAR has been implemented and not to mention the officiating.

You know more about the EPL than I do! Which club of the 6 will quit the Super League Ideas first - if one does?

City or Chelsea

At least he's looking to do something. The silence from our players is deafening.

The are focussed on our games , we have a critical week , time for them when they have finished the season and the see how it plays out

 

[SWP's back]

So Micheal Jordan, Lebron James, Payton Manning arnt sports mega stars??

Deary me.

In America where sport isn’t sport, probably. I wouldn’t know any of them if I sat next to them on a train and I’m not sure of the sport Manny plays.

Fair play to him for getting this out there first but I suspect there's been plenty of discussions between players and captains over the last couple of days but he's the only one who's got his agent/publicist to get this to the press.
Having said that if it helps stop this shit show then I couldn't care less if the Sir Hendo and Sir Marcus of Rashford PR teams get them gold statues outside of Buckingham Palace as part of it.

Oh of course, texts etc internally and to friends at other clubs but he's taking a co-ordinated approach with all captains to get their views.

As I say, I dont care if he's painted as a saint or the one that stopped the SL when this is all done. If his meeting helps then good on him. Any action taken by fans, players, managers, other clubs, ex players etc to help stop this has to be commended.

How is this a bad thing? Fair play to him.

Everyone here would be cheering Fernandinho on if he’d done the same thing

Agreed. Dont care who it is, someone needs to come out from the players side and shoot this shit down. If its Henderson, so be it, might carry even more weight seeing as its his and rag shithouses that are the driving force behind this shambles.

It doesnt take 48 hours. It happens now or theyre not yet convinced to

A little. We already knew that a few clubs were behind what happened with Der Spiegel, FFP & CAS. There were 6 particularly, I'm told, with the US-owned PL clubs prominent.

We've paid very careful attention to what's gone on between those clubs and UEFA and, like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, we seem to have been waiting for our chance to strike.

That doesn't mean that I'm saying that I'm quietly confident that we've pulled a masterstroke here. It could just as easily have been a genuine and monumental error of judgement. So it'll be interesting to see how it develops.

What's the strike in this context? Is it joining them and being needed to help them achieve what they want? Or is it a different game, to lead them down a garden path and make them look bad?

 

[Sir peace frog]

That's always been the case.

I'm City through and through, and City will endure long after Pep has gone, but right now we're Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. Pep has won more in his career than the club has won in its entire history, but while Pep and the players might forever be associated with this golden period, the history of Manchester City belongs to the fans, those that went before us, and those to come.

Our present owners are just temporary custodians, Soriano has no childhood memory of having to paddle through the piss at the godawful urinals at Maine Road, he's just a temporary journeyman, they all are.

Me, you, our dads and granddads and the kids to come, they're City, everyone else is just passing through.

They might of been godawful urinals to you, but they smelt lovely on a cold winters day :)
