City in talks with MLS for possible expansion

New Yorkers = evil...we don't want to be associated with those punk ass douchebags.

Agreed. The midwest is definitely closest to the attitude of the Northwest
 
I would love for City to be involved with the MLS team in my neck of the woods - Vancouver. Vancouver's MLS team has been approved for 2011, and I think it would be a great fit.

Besides, you lot would rather be involved with a rainy Northwest city in Canada than some place in the States, surely?

They should buy Red Bulls New York or whatever they're called this week. I've always thought there was a connection between Manchester and NYC, they both seem to be counterparts.

The Windy City meets the City of Rain. We're bound to kick up a storm.



*I'll get me mac*
 
Please buy Toronto FC.............. I know its never going to happen but still I would love to see it. Closest thing I have to a local club and they could use a few good loans.
 
The thing of it is, if City and Gerber are talking about buying a current team, my bet would be that it's a franchise that isn't doing to hot. Possibly one that is low in attendance or looking for a financial boost to build a new stadium. With that said, that automatically rules out several clubs, Seattle, Philly, New York, Chicago, LA, Chivas, Real Salt Lake, and I believe Toronto all either have very new football specific stadiums or they draw great attendance numbers at their current stadiums. Another aspect City could really help with over here is developing youth academies. They are just starting to gain a foothold here, and having a club like City, who has one of the most successful academies in the world here to give tips and pointers it would go a long long way.

Ya an international academy would be perfect. I would love to see one both in Canada and in America would make us much better footballers.
 
whilst I agree it would be nice to have an interest in the U.S. I definitey DON'T want us to set up another 'Manchester City' by starting a team in one of the U.S. Manchesters. Like the film 'Highlander', "There can only be one"! I mean, imagine if a new Manchester City actually became bigger and more successful than Manchester City?

I'd like to see us branch out into other sports away from football altogether. The IPL has been mentioned, what about setting up a professional cycling team which would wear pale blue jerseys similar to the club shirt? You could run a team for about £15m per year and recruit the best riders in the world. The Tour de France is the biggest sporting event in the world in terms of spectator numbers!
