European Super League

It would be fabulous if it was true that the reason why City entered the Super League was to oust those Clubs intent on destroying the Premier League, envied by those from Spain and Italy, but significantly the American Owners here, however that is not true, but I think it would have destroyed the Premier League
 
From a Raphael Honigstein piece in the Athletic on the 20th.

Florentino Perez said many contentious things in his El Chiringuito appearance on Monday night but one of his claims was correct: neither Bayern Munich nor Borussia Dortmund were invited to join the Super League before the founding member’s announcement on Sunday night.

Aware of the two German giants’ concerns over a breakaway move, Perez and his co-conspirators had never shown their hand to them.

“Florentino’s idea was to create maximum momentum with all the clubs that were on board,” a senior official from another top European club suggests. “Approaching the two German teams (and Paris Saint-Germain, who also harboured doubts) would have slowed things down and might have led to damaging leaks. You don’t start a revolution with guys who are not fully committed.”

Whereas the Super League’s main idea is to generate new revenue streams, Bayern’s big plan is to reduce costs: they want to push for salary cap with the help of the European Union. As football’s most prudently-run and consistently profitable elite club — in non-COVID-19 times — they would benefit greatly from a version of financial fair play rejigged along those lines.
 
Also from the Athletic two days ago from a piece on Woodward.

*Another of those who attended Tuesday’s Premier League summit of the 14 clubs said the prevailing mood was to question how Woodward and the others could “ever be trusted again”*.

City could say the same after the letter signed by PL clubs prior to the CAS case.
What's good for the goose.....

Plus he has increased my vocabulary - ingordigiousness – ‘extreme greed, an insatiable desire for wealth at any cost’. Wow. :oops: I must now work out how to weave that into a conversation.......
