City launch MLS Franchise

This is all about spreading the name of Abu Dhabi as a sporting centre. Don't think it will benefit MCFC.

Are you for real ! :) or just have to say something different ? who is the owner of mcfc ?
of course it will benefit mcfc it's not a rocket science to figure out

There's no guarantee at all that it will benefit MCFC

There are sporting franchises in the US which run at a big loss. And they are local "experts"

If it was guaranteed to make money, then why hasn't an American investor come forward?

The New York Yankees are the investor.

I'm assuming the badge would be the same as the icon on the nycfc web site is the city badge

The New York Yankees are the investor.

A minority partner which presumably means we take most of the hit for any losses. And they'll likely to be considerable in the early years

Anyone would think that Sheikh Mansour was short of a few bob. He could pay for New York City out of his back pocket. Shares on the London Stock Exchange are at a 14 year high and I guess Abu Dhabi investments aren't doing to bad either.
