paul ncfc 0 Posted March 18, 2009 Last home game of the season totally messed up by Murdoch''s Mob.Player of the season,lap of honour (lol) and just the general feel of final day wiped away by this.Hopefully this will be a meaningless match for us by then, but , I bet more pressure is applied by the weekends results.Can the club tell Rupert where to shove it ,or are we duty bound to accept this?

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted March 18, 2009 Although I''m a firm advocate of playing games on a Saturday afternoon like the S*um Derby games should always be played on a Saturday as Sunday football is c*ap on this occasion I''m reasonably pleased! We have had some great games in the evenings so the atmosphere should be good particularly if we need a result which is likely and the club will get some much needed money from SKY!

[/quote]Talking about Sky.....Off you go, follow this lot - frankly I won''t miss either of you: The end of the Prem CHAMPS ... Manchester United could compete in European Super League By MARK IRWIN Published: Today FOOTBALL’S most powerful clubs are hatching plans for a European Super League which could destroy the Premier League. Anxious Premier League officials are aware of the proposals and monitoring developments. The Euro revolution would see the creation of three divisions — each with 20 teams. Our Big Four — Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal — would be in the top division, forced to play 38 European games alone. That would rule out any chance of them competing in the Premier League as well and would therefore spell the end of English football as we know it. Premier chief executive Richard Scudamore has been alerted and would fiercely resist any moves to either abolish the Premier or reduce its size to accommodate extra European fixtures. But that resistance could force English competitors in a European League to withdraw from the Premier League altogether. Unofficial talks have already taken place between members of the influential European Club Association (ECA) to discuss the idea of a three-division competition involving up to 60 teams. The secret plotters plan to get their lucrative idea off the ground by as early as 2012. The idea, believed to be the brainchild of AC Milan, is to scrap the Champions League and UEFA Cup in favour of the new competition. England has FIVE members of the ECA — the Big Four and Newcastle. The Premier League’s Big Four would all qualify for the top division of a European League, while Newcastle would be involved in the second division. The idea for the new competition was first floated at a UEFA strategy meeting in Switzerland last Tuesday. And though it is not on the official agenda, the subject is sure to generate further discussion when the 135 ECA members meet this week. Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas let the cat out of the bag when he briefed the French media of the talks following his team’s elimination from the Champions League last week. Although the plans are still in their infancy, it appears the new league would be open only to members of the ECA. That would mean only the five English teams with the highest UEFA coefficient would be eligible to take part. It was the threat of a breakaway European League by the members of the former G14 organisation which forced UEFA to introduce the Champions League in 1992. But this time the competition could go ahead with the blessing of UEFA. Their president Michel Platini said: “We are a democratic organisation who will listen to the views of everyone. We will seek the views of all the stakeholders then, when the time comes, it will be up to the executive of UEFA to decide.” Advertisement TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/click%3Bh=v8/37f4/3/0/%2a/m%3B211760119%3B0-0%3B1%3B24193884%3B4307-300/250%3B30196948/30214825/1%3B%3B%7Eaopt%3D2/0/ff/0%3B%7Esscs%3D%3fhttp://www.thesuncashback.co.uk">SRC="http://m1.emea.2mdn.net/697837/_gif_mpu_suncashbackF_EB.gif" alt="" BORDER=0> href=''http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/adj/football.thesun.co.uk/mainhomepage;pos=mpu;sz=300x250;tile=2;bl=No;ord=1237396423968?'' class="border-none" alt="Ad Frame"> At present, the plan is for the European League to run alongside any domestic leagues. But fixture congestion would make that proposal virtually impossible. Any new competition could not start before 2012, when UEFA’s current deal for TV coverage of the Champions League expires. But Premier League observers are convinced it could be years before all the problems are ironed out. One source told SunSport: “No one has any idea how this proposal would work. “How would teams qualify? How would they decide on promotion and relegation? How many teams would be eligible from each country? How do you fit in all the games? “It wouldn’t be in the interests of any English team to leave the Premier League to play in a European competition. Manchester United fans would much rather watch their team playing against Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham than they would against Alkmaar, Porto and Zenit St Petersburg. “English teams are dominating in Europe because of the collective strength and wealth of the Premier League. “They would not want to jeopardise that by going it alone to play in a closed-shop competition created by European teams looking for guaranteed protection against failure to qualify for the Champions League.” Last night the ECA appeared to cave in as criticism of the plans leaked out. Executive board members issued a statement declaring: “The ECA is very happy with the existing European competitions.” But it will do little to silence the concerns of fans.

spudgfsh 0 Posted March 18, 2009 Not this rubbish again... This does the rounds every few years just like the rumour that Rangers and Celtic joining the premier league. it''ll never happen as the FA/Premier League/FIFA would never want it to happen. The clubs themselves should not want it to happen as they will be cutting off half of their money (from the premier league). The other clubs in the premier league will not want it to happen as it''ll make the premier league money the same as the football league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 141 Posted March 18, 2009 It''s a total disgrace, last Saturday home game is now laughably the 4th April! For us heading back to London it''s always a quick dash at the final whistle to make the 10pm train, so no hanging around for the "staying up" players parade. Wish the club would tell Sky where to shove it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theres only one Ken Foggo 0 Posted March 18, 2009 It simply won''t happen - the fans don''t want it. At the moment the big PL clubs can have their cake and eat it - they still play in a home-based league but also regularly have matches against the likes of Barcelona and Inter Milan. Why on earth would they change that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
