I’d rather all our players had the summer off and proper time to recover for next season to be honest.
This shit competition for nothing other than money could well ruin our season next season.
He’s talking about the new younger players we’ve bought and brought through as opposed to KDB, Gundogan etc.They won’t let us play our kids.
Obviously a tongue in cheek thread, but Pep could still find a way to have them raging, despite us having a nightmare season! (I hope they don't win it, but imagine them winning the Champions League) and then having to watch City represent UEFA (and potentially win £250m) in the Club World Cup, Despite them being European Royalty
Its funny as fuck that City could earn more in prize money for winning this club world cup than the cost for the whole City Football academy, or what the Sheik originally bought the club for!
Imagine the piss boiling if we played them in the Charity Shield with the new world champions badge on our kit!
Typical City!

It's not £250 million for winning it.
Estimate based on the announcement today is a max of $100mil which is c£77mil.
The £25 mil for winning the CL is part of a cumulative pot. Need to wait to see the payment structure of CWC but it’ll probably be less than winning CL. Still, would go a long way towards our rebuild.I thought they said that the total prize pot is $1bn and amounts for where you finish will be announced next week?
Not doubting what your saying tho mate (I just heard the $1bn on talksport news)!
£77m million for beating 7 teams in pre season, still dwarfs the £25m you get for winning the Champions League!
This club world cup could ruin Uefa!

Which will not quite make up the income we lost by going out of the UCL.It's not £250 million for winning it.

Thank God you're not in charge of planning club strategy . It's a bigger competition than the CL . Guess some people are yearning for York away type days .I’d rather all our players had the summer off and proper time to recover for next season to be honest.

It would far more than make up the money we lost compared with last years revenue.Which will not quite make up the income we lost by going out of the UCL.
We need this money if we are to avoid a big drop in income.
I think it’s 32 teams now in the new format this summer.How do you work that out? Prize pot is $1bn and there are 8 teams. It can’t mathematically work out that the winner gets less $125,000,000 even if every team took and equal share and the winner got nothing extra.

I respectfully refer you to my post on page 2honestly not arsed what liverpool do, have zero interest in them and don't care if we were knocked out of this meaningless FIFA cash grab and players got a proper rest before the charity shield and season.
if we win it fair fucks to us, if we don't then go out early at least and send the lads on holiday.
