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

[sboroMCFC]

Super League wont ever happen. UEFA now has all the power meaning no cartel

But isn't reputation essential to "the project" for our owners? Surely that's completely in tatters now?

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

When people are saying this, and Woodward, what have they resigned from? Their clubs or the ECA/UEFA?

Clubs : )

 

[willipp]

Why do you think that?

Because the more you read, the more I feel we have been talking to UEFA all day to work this out. We have seen the main instigators of the CAS hearing resign from UEFA and the others show their true colors, that actually we now are in a very strong position moving forward to work with them on changing the CL into something so much better.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

We weren’t involved in the organising, the quotes on our site from Glazer etc were a clear indication of that. Basically had to sign up or miss out forever and did so, then left.

the quotes on our site from glazer’ - surely that’s bad enough.

we didn’t have to sign up to anything. We had a choice, just like Bayern. If it was so vital we wouldn’t be leaving now.

I don’t get how you can do blindly defend our club on this. I’m struggling like many to be a happy clapper like you

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Woodward resigning is a high price to pay for recovering my club. But I'll accept it. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.

 

[Shaelumstash]

They'll welcome the Rags back with open arms...just you see

I think UEFA are going to be a bit more wary this time mate.

 

[decmancity]

You must be so devastated

Gutted.

 

[Ric]

An error of judgment from City or a trap?

Don't you think City might face some sanction / rapped knuckles?

Error of judgement, almost certainly.

 

[Phil1]

In the end, the only real winner in all of this is @Ric

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Waiting to hear from the Glazers.

Why, has some Liverpool thug put a brick through your window.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Rubbish our owners were willing to put their nose in the trough with the red scum. We are just as bad as the rest.

That's because you want to believe it.

City have known for months what they have been battling against.

Ask yourself who has benefited the most from this last 48 hours, who has been removed from positions of power?

We are owned by people who do political strategy for a day job, do you think they aren't prepared to take a bloody nose to achieve their objectives?

We signed up to the rules of FFP, even though we didn't agree with them.

We took a pinch and decided to pay the fine to play the long game.

We did back deals with Platini and Infantino.

Cerefin has been an ally of City for a good length of time.

If you don't believe City aren't capable of doing some very deep shit, then I can't persuade otherwise.

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

The 105 people that voted yes in the poll must be gutted I guess.?

 

[CC1]

It was on OUR website that we joined, with a quote from Joel Glazer. Of course we signed on to it. Thank fuck we are out, but never forget the owners took the action they did.

Forgotten already pal. We'll never have owners as good as the ones we have

 

[Jazzman]

Did City ever sign up? Or were we in a waiting position?

 

[leo_city]

Super League wont ever happen. UEFA now has all the power meaning no cartel

UEFA allows the cartel and protects them, and will continue to do so. The matter was heated over payouts, and will now be sorted.

 

[BlueRain]

I really hope City have done this on purpose... it’s comedy gold

What they have done is effectively a boardroom “Aguerooooo” moment

“I swear you’ll never see anything like this again” pmsl

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Anyone think this might have been a Trojan Horse?

Get the dark forces to finally show their hands and cement their absolute positions, then find the levers and pull the rug.

I'm no happy clapper total believer, but choose to believe our team are that aware that even if this was sprung on them with joining (at first) being the only viable path on Sunday, this has been an extreme and extremely effective tactical reaction that has hopefully done the job.

 

[canadianblue]

What an absolute clusterfuck. Heads are rightly rolling...Woodward, Agnelli...no doubt more to come.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Where does this leave Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon?. Chairmen and executives resigning all over the shop
