And in terns of what we gain. We actually gain alot definitely market wise. Instead of taking leverage of a one City franchise market, like what most top clubs if not all go about, we look at a City market and other community markets. This way we are not targetting mainly gloryhunters by consumerism, but actually promoting foreign supporters to support their community teams. They will attend matches and hold season tickets and be local support. Not switching on ESPN/Starsports and stop supporting the moment their glory team disappear to mid table mediocrity. We are promoting community support while at the same time using that leverage to promote the City brand and what it does. This way, our support market will never be saturated. Enter revenue.
At least I think that is some part of it.
Definitely on board with the idea of CIty getting fans to support their local community club if that is part of the plan having stakes in these different clubs. After all, I imagine this is one of the reasons most of us support City. if they can maintain their local identity that would be great to. In saying all that, with our revenues presumably still lower than the scousers and rags, I'm sure the powers that be could find a way of getting Man City merchandise at club stores etc

If it wasn't for the super dodgy PSG Qatar deal we'd probably be in 5th.

J League is much more competitive than the English league. It isn't strange to see teams bounce up and down the league like this.
We'll sort them out if we're interested enough.
