Looking at people on all the message boards and clubs facebook page, we have fans across the UK, Europe and beyond-these are the people the players will be representing, not just the people of Manchester. Move on, it's a badge not the end of the world.

We'll put 3 stars on there, which are universally recognised as World Cup wining markings - but we'll do it 'just for decoration'.
I can't the issue with continuing tradition, as SWP's Back said "i wouldn't lose sleep over it, but it is a dissapointing decision; commerciality shouldn't come into a heritage decision.
Another final nail in the coffin of the "we'll keep the grass roots connections of this club, build on them and respect the history" - as Cook said right from the beginning.

We havent:
Brazil added three stars above their crest after winning their third World Cup in 1970. Italy did likewise in 1982. All world champions have since followed suit. Uruguay display four stars, regarding their triumphs in the 1924 and 1928 Olympics as equivalent to their later World Cup wins, as there was no World Cup at the time. In 2004, Denmark wore a star on their shirts specially for Euro 2004, to commemorate their victory in the competition in 1992. In the equipment regulations for FIFA competitions, section 18.2 states "Those Member Associations that have won the FIFA World Cup™ may put a symbol on the playing shirt representing this accomplishment and the number of times won."[6] The form of symbol is not specified, although the accompanying illustrative example depicts a gold star.
