What CAN he say? He's an employee of the club. Bingo the same.Prepare to be disappointed.
I'm fairly certain both Real Madrid and Barcelona have a similar model.Can't see any German teams joining, I believe they have a rule that the majority of the club must be owned by its members.

I've been trying to sum up how I feel about this and its so sickening. Im 38 years old now and first went in 1989. The one constant thing in my life has been following City.
Yesterday we agreed to get in bed with all the clubs who have been trying to stop us moving forward for the last 10 or so years. Just over a year ago we were banned from UEFA competition and spent fortunes to clear our name.
I have a 5 year old son who is just starting to get into football and City. I have been looking forward to taking him back to City so much. I'm more gutted about the fact I know we will never be able to experience the highs and lows together at a game the way I have enjoyed them with my dad growing up (many more lows but you get the picture).
If this goes tits up and City and the rest are still playing in the Prem then we'll always be (quite rightly) seen as the evil bastards we now are.
It isnt as simple as deciding to support someone else either. The feeling i have for this club can never be replicated for another one.
I dont feel like the club had died, I dont think I'm mourning them. Its more that they have cheated on me. In fact, its like they have been fucking 5 dickheads I've always hated and some other pricks too. And now they've fucked off to live with them.
Well City, you're a whore and I'm so, so disappointed in you

I just assumed he’d been drinking ;-)Bayern and the word integrity ? Haha
Probably because he’ll lose all enthusiasm for the club once this shit happens@twosips Why would your YT channel be sunk? Are City going out of existence?

Maybe I have too much pride then, as it feels like id be selling my soul to lie about enjoying the destruction of the domestic game. I just don't know if I can do that every day.
So to make this clear; you are perfectly happy with a Champions League that has been putting into place an unofficial top four for years, perfectly happy with having a billionaire owner artificially inflate the club competitively through investment, perfectly happy with that owner being of extremely questionable moral character and being the Deputy Prime Minister in a state whose laws are from the 15th century in many social areas, and perfectly happy with us essentially bending the UEFA rules on investment to every possible degree?
All of that you'd continue on. But moving to a different European competition, now THAT'S your line? Not the fact that we had a Gulf state put a billion pounds into us to ensure our "competitiveness"? That didn't hurt the domestic league?
You're overreacting and I think that eventually you and many others will come to your senses on this whole thing. You might not like it but you'll get over it enough to continue.
I hate the German Rags, but it's not even really a superleague if they aren't in it.That’s it dead before it begins in my opinion if they can’t get Bayern on board.

MK Dons? It's happened before, all that is standing in the way of other clubs ATM is that the authorities won't allow it anymore. Bypass the authorities and...It's weird how people think that the owners of football club, one of the world's most popular sports, want to make it "more American" that would appeal to a country that doesn't actually like football at the cost of the current massive and profitable worldwide audience.
Saying that they'll franchise clubs or introduce quarters is literally hysterical.
They *are* making it more like the US system already, by getting rid of relegation. They don't understand how things work over here. People who work with them say the same. And they think in terms of marketability, which includes moving to a bigger market, and rebranding from time to time to follow the latest trends.
