I think it will be fantastic. Winning the first proper Club World Cup with that line-up of teams will be a major success and I am sure Pep wants it.

That's my take too. Over time the prestige of trophies change. The FA Cup to me is incredibly prestigious but does it get the same respect now as it did? I don't think so.

Europa League and Conference League feel elevated above what they should be too.

Could be that in 20-30 years the Club World Cup is seen in a much higher regard than now.

We have broken records domestically. Other than winning the most league titles, which we remain a distance off. Dominating on the European and world stage shouldn't be sniffed at regardless of what the competition is.

Huge marketing potential which only helps us stay at the top.
 
I still can't get my head around this tournament. I know it will make millions for City but in my book I'd rate it on par with the Charity Shield.

It's another grubby money making exercise that devalues the real value of our established competitions.

It will seriously impact on our start to next season and I can see another injury nightmare scenario.

Would be great if City finally grew some bollocks and fcked it right off.

We don't need it for our standing in world football and we should be concentrating on a fitting finale for Pep's last season.

Nobody knows when Pep's last season will be?

The cheapest are Frontier, Spirit, Jet Blue and Breeze but you get whacked in the wallet if you are carrying luggage / travelling with friends amd want to sit together.

It's called the "Ryanair" syndrome...;)

Frontier and Spirit are definitely the cheapest. Breeze is a subsidiary of Jet Blue but is limited on destinations. Definitely cheaper than Jet Blue though.

Pep will only want it if we have to play in it. And I'll bet the players would like a decent break for a change.

Don't get me wrong, in an ideal world where the football calendar wasn't overcrowded it would be a great idea, but the football calendar is overcrowded and the players aren't machine's.

I would rather ditch most international football and the Carabao Cup. I just think that football is totally global whether we like it or not. British clubs snubbed the European Cup for years because of their arrogant attitude and that was a mistake. I believe the Club World Cup (backed by FIFA and huge money) will become as big as the CL in the future and we should take it seriously. I am sure Pep will regard it as important. All the world's best teams are taking part and it will be a huge broadcast event across the world no matter how snobby the English press are about it. If we win this trophy it will be huge for our club.

I'm with you about getting rid of international football such as the nations league and friendlies, but at the end of the day, our players are going to be knackered after not getting another summer off.

Arsenal and Liverpool won't be there and that will be them rested with a big advantage for the following season. You don't seem concerned about the workload for our players? I will reiterate they aren't machine's and desperately need a decent break.

We won't pull out unilaterally but I hope the legal challenge against this tournament is a success.
