They’ll be enough American owners soon to dictate the premier league rules!

Seems the fa love the yanks

The only positive to this is that it is another club to challenge the top four which is good for competition and pushes the Rags down the pecking order. It also confirms how important football (soccer!) is in the US at the moment. The growth of interest over there is huge (both PL and the MLS). After last night's victory in their conference title NYCFC are poised to become US Champions for the first time. That is good news for CFG which, in the short term at least, is good news for City. However I do fear that one day in the future our beautiful game could be taken over totally by the Americans and NYCFC may be more important to CFG than MCFC.

Is he called Ralf? I thought it was Nick? Rag Nick?

Double barreled surname, all the rage now. Its Ralph Rag really.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Probably trump as the next PL chief. Strangely he wouldn’t be the biggest **** to have done the job

Guarantee he'd be a Rag's fan.

The Rag's have been courting the 'power of the press' since around 1958. There was a bit of a lull in the early 80's but a massive resurgence since the Piscan took over.

And everything else suffers at the expense of keeping their profile at such ridiculous levels .

Brand placement I believe is the expression used in commercial /advertising circles

They’ll be happy to stay in the premier and reap the rewards not push the established top teams. History of American owners is they coming in for the easy money! American owners don’t put there own money in they get loans and stick the club on as collateral just like the new Burnley owner! Oh and if Burnley go down don’t come straight back up they will be in serious trouble!

The English fans turned round the attempt to form a Super League in 48 hours. If the Yanks try to interfere with the rules they'll get the same response.

Sounds better than Liverarse

We're in the 3rd round of the FA Cup for the first time in many, many years and have the BBC mentioned that? No they haven't, the bastards.

Incidentally, I would quite like to get United at Old Trafford than City at the Etihad because the revenue for us would be bigger because they will force their season-ticket holders to buy a ticket and, more importantly, we might beat them.

Not about just a super league it’s rules in the premier they can change like with sponsorships or reducing the premier to 18 teams also having only two teams relegated! Or reducing foreign players! The main issue is if we get 14 owners in cahoots they can change the rules to suit.
