CFG Expansion | Başakşehir to join? (p70)

Question.

Is the CFG Soriano's idea, via a knock back at Barcelona, or is it an idea of Mansour/Khaldoon, tasked to Soriano, to take forward?
What do you think?
Likely Soriano's idea, given he's wanted to do this kind of thing since before joining City.

How the hell buying clubs most people have never heard of is going to help Manchester City is beyond me
In the grand scheme of things it might be good business for the owners but ain't a clue what it does for our club
 
They aren’t actually a ‘New York’ team. They play in a different City and a different state.
Which explains why they have New York in their title.

Not unlike our friends from Trafford?

True up to a point. New York City fans hate us, we are arab owned.
And where is our Middle East club?
Pretty sure NYC fans don't hate us because we are Arab owned. Most were, and still are rags, dippers and et al before NYC existed. They'd not support City even if we were owned by the Anglican Church.

True enough, but there was massive negative publicity in NY on the arab question. Khaldoon said that the perception that NYC were owned by an arab state was highly detrimental in the search for a stadium.
UAE has been blocked in the past from buying facilities in NY on the grounds that they were a security risk, despite being a US ally.
