CFG Expansion | Başakşehir to join? (p70)

[MeatHunterrr]

Still hasn’t produced a single player worthy of the City first team. Compared to the Red Bull system, that it a fairly pitiful record

CFG has not been set up to produce players. Its been set up to promote the City brand permanently in the biggest markets.

The CFA is there to produce players, not CFG.

Wrong. Player development is literally one of CFG’s stated goals on its own website

If Palermo can get back into Serie A and snap another Dybala at some point, it's worth it to the CFG.

That said, I've never understood not investing enough to secure top division status. What's the point of the stake in Girona if not to establish them as a La Liga side?

It is not a get rich quick investment, it is long term. Like our transfer policy is mostly buying developing players with the potential to improve, we invest in low cost clubs with the potential to improve their status over a period of time. Do not expect radical investment and improvement as seen at City, low cost clubs are like acorns to be nourished in the hope that they over time become oak trees, some won't make it but with the quality of CFG management I would expect in ten to 20 years time most will have substantially increased in value.

To be fair this plan of a network of several clubs was sorianos dream at barca and if not ousted he would have implememted it there.

Imagine of that was so and we were still owned by a poorer benefactor and barca came calling to add us to their portfolio of clubs, I expect mamy of us wpuld have been agaimst ot so I understand NEC fans reaction.

I think the process of creating new clubs or investing in clubs in their early years rather than buying established clubs has left push back and as has been seen with Mumbai and Melbourne they have been ecelated with some inotial trepidation from exsting fans but not hositility like Breda.

With clubs long established partnering is a better option

Palermo are a club that is easily capable of being sustainable at Serie A level. Very good investment.

i love the CFG buying more and more clubs! What a business machine they are building and have no doubts that the rag and dipper fans HATE that our owner is making this monster organisation!

Do you think Utd will be added to the Red Bull portfolio?

That doesn't say that the CFG is there to produce players for City though.

If all these other clubs thought City would come along and cherry pick the cream, the whole project would never get off the ground. It's a misconception as to what it's all about.
