Will you attend City games if we join a European Super League?

[otherwise]

I don't think City are sold on this. This is a Man Utd / Liverpool project. I think City would be happy for it to fail but felt obliged to accept invitation.

sounds like juve maybe aren't too sure about this...

Everyone seems to be forgetting Pep's extension. He knew.

This reminds me of the year united went to play in the US and didn’t play in the I forget which competition it was, maybe the FA cup, but we still let them back in the competition the following season

Wasnt it Brazil and Yhe FA Cup?

Wasnt it Brazil and Yhe FA Cup?

Yes, it was the FA Cup they missed out on when they played some jumped up competition in Brazil, and Brian Clough hoped they'd all come home with the shits!

For those saying what will change and we will still have the domestic leagues and cups. Even if these were allowed to continue domestically at present in the Champs league we are guaranteed 6 games and would play a maximum of 14 games to a final. Under this new format we would play a minimum of 18 games and a maximum of 24 so potentially 10 extra games a season.
Therefore no way even if allowed would these teams continue in the domestic cups at best it would be like the EFL Cup with City playing a youth team in these competitions totally undermining and undervaluing it. Without the big teams commercial interest is lost and these cups will no longer cease to be relevant and will fold so for those thinking domestically it won't change even if and it's a big if domestically we are allowed to continue it will not be the same.
How we can go from a possible quadruple to this within 48 hours god only knows.
Shameful the whole thing.

I wont go to these games, I possibly would have still gone to leagues games and cups games, but I would expect us to be kicked out of the domestic competitons amd deserve to, so my city watching days look like being over

 

[didsburyblu]

Wouldn't suprise me if we win it in an empty stadium and at a time when fans couldn't be any less interested. I'll be honest, thats what they deserve.

No chance we win it. 4 teams left three who've broken away and PSG. I wonder who UEFA want to see win their trophy?

 

[invisibleandalone]

Were over a barrell if we dont join may never get the chance again.

So we don't want to be left behind do we ?

Am reading it as a replacement for champs league so whats the issue thought we all hated champs league anyway ?

I do get what your saying and kind of agree , the problem for me is that we have jumped into bed with all the cunts who wanted to fuck us and at the same time had the media brainwashing the country and Europe that we were cheats . How can they be trusted ?

FTFY ;)

Reminds me of Kerry Packer's all star cricket tour in the 1970's

Yes Harlem Globe Trotters and Packer cricket are good analogies. But greed leading to rival competitions is something that might have been expected to come eventually to football in a capitalist world: as well as cricket, look at tennis (back in the day), boxing (notoriously), and other more minor sports. And chess too (officially recognised as a sport in scores of contries worldwide, however odd that seems) which moved rapidly on from achieving worldwide popularity, thanks to Bobby Fischer in the 1970s, to splitting into rival governing bodies by the 1990s. Football however is the one global sport, something that unites people all around the world, and all true football fans must not allow it to lose what makes it great, which it would do by excluding the unforeseeable as these "we can never be relegated" clubs are planning to do. How City can be part of that is beyond me: just twenty years ago I was watching them getting relegated from the EPL yet again, so how have they the gall and arrogance to deny other clubs the opportunity to come back and rise again to the top in the way they did within a doxen years after that abysmal season?
