CFG Expansion | Başakşehir to join? (p70)

The biggest thing this is doing is creating so many City fans globally. Those who already support all these local teams, Melbourne, New York ... to now these teams in Ukraine and Chile, will obviously go on to support their team but then also keep an eye on City then that becomes their default team to support in Europe. I know a lot of people in India for example who supported Barca or Real Madrid as a big team to watch (and in some cases even United) ... since Mumbai City joined the CFG have all gone to keeping an eye on City and support us now.

This isn't visible right now, but in a decade from now, one day the Uniteds and Liverpools will wake up and realize they are no longer the big fish in all these global markets, and City won't only be in China or India only but everywhere in all this clever mushroom spreading our brand and what not. CFG is doing great in these communities as well and that's also spreading our good name and Manchester City remains the top club in CFG and thus all these other clubs (and their fans) see us as ... let's say ... the mothership.

Yeah, stuff like this makes you realise that Sheikh Mansour might not get bored for a while.

I'd love to know what the endgame is, we just seem to associate with lots of clubs, very few of whom display any tangible success on the pitch or development of young superstars that can feed their way up the ranks. I also don't see the trading platform, say between Torque and Girona, that feeds talent up, allows Torque to dominate the Uruguayan market and then see Girona spewing out young talents from Spain and South America to boost their financial position and solidify a regular La Liga spot.

The endgame is money and possibly prestige. By CFG establishing itself it creates a huge global brand that eventually (way down the line) becomes so identifiable on and off the pitch through shared ideas that make it marketable to the point that it creates an absolute shit tonne of money in sponsorships and partnerships and whatnot. This'll create a trickle down effect in the CFG clubs that leads to more long term sustained success, which will lead to more prestige and therefore a greater brand and greater amounts of commercial income and so on... It's the Disneyfication of modern football, and CFG are looking to be the first one to get there.


Right now it's still in the real early phase. Results are only going to improve gradually and it's still hit and miss.

A lot of NYCFC fans seem to hate City though

Interesting to see what the plans are for Barnechea, they only have a 3k ground capacity

I reckon we would have got these Clubs at pandemic prices with lots of opportunities to grow the teams, facilities and hopefully, fan bases

CFG was never intended to just win trophies, they are essentially just academies and scouting posts for City and advertising vehicles for the sponsors. If they win trophies that is just a bonus.

We have made probably close to 100m so far on players just plucked from CFG partnerships. That is great income for City.
 
I'm surprised we still haven't bought a club in Africa.

We have 3 in Asia (Yokohama, Sichuan, Mumbai)
1 in Oceania (Melbourne)
3 in South America (Torque, Bolivar, Barnechea)
1 in North America (NYCFC)
6 in Europe (MCFC, Girona, Troyes, Lommel, Vannes, Lviv)

0 in Africa.

Weird, right?
