I can’t wait, all booked for it and I hope the club will be taking it seriously. I think they will be considering how lucrative it is.

It would be the pinnacle of supporting MCFC ( first match 1970 City 1 - whu 5 ) to watch us play either Boca or River in a competitive match . Ive been to both stadiums and the atmosphere is historic . btw, the beer , wine & women over there are pretty historic too. Anyone who disses this tournament is a complete R Sole .

Good. Spend our share on two top class full backs in summer.

The parochial UK media will slag this off because none of the red shirt teams have qualified. But most of the best teams in the world are competing for the biggest ever prize money. It is being played in the USA where City are already the most-watched team and is being backed by the US government. There will be huge crowds and a huge media circus and, over time, it will grow into a huge trophy. Perhaps second only to the CL. It would be fantastic for City if we could win the first one.

I see it superseding the Champions League by my life's end. We need to be known for winning this as RM are the European cup.

Imagine if Claudio Echeverri hits the ground running for us, and then we play River Plate in a later round …. it would be a fascinating spectacle.

I’m looking forward to it, especially because the Red Cartel have not been invited.

But it stinks that FIFA's $1bn includes payments to notable clubs who don't even qualify. The red cartel get paid for nothing.

I don't really understand the hand wringing. It's just going to replace the bollocks pre season tours to USA/Asia. Of course we want to win it but we won't be playing half fit or exhausted players in it. It's gonna be a swansong for our veterans and a chance to blood some of our new signings and young prospects while making a load of money. It will be miles better than a Summer with an international tournament.

Might even get some good old fashioned local friendlies before the new season for a change.

We suffered after the euros more than most, England outfield player in the PL with the most appearances, Foden, Stones, Walker, and then Rodri went the whole way too. It helped wipe out our season and no chance to recover until 2027. 4 years solid and no real break.
