I’d keep an eye on Bayern.

those German rags are up to something make no mistake
They'll be clinching their arses. They're fan owned (50+1 model) and so they wouldn't get support to join, they get to take the moral high ground and hope it doesn't come to fruition for fear they'll be seriously left behind.
 
No doubt. But how can it work in England. For example, Dallas Cowboys might reasonably expect to flog tickets to those in state of Texas. Population of Texas is nearly 30 million! Even if all the people in the North West who have previously ignored going to football (lets leave aside all the other people who already support smaller clubs and go regularly), its probably well under one million people. So are they seriously expecting a whole new influx of fans flying into games from all over the world to attend, while true City fans abandon the game entirely. Its so obviously not going to happen. Its not how things work in this country, and from my experiences watching Italian football and visiting Italy, its not going to happen there either. Seriously who is this competition for in the sense of fans attending games? The US sports work because of franchise and the fact the majority of teams don't have local connection in the same way and can be relocated at will. What is the plan, rebuild Anfield in Singapore brick by brick and hope it will be the same thing?
It might not matter how full the stadiums are. It's the television audience where the money is and it will be flogged to the highest bidder and shown all over the world.

We've had a full season of fake crowd noise already. And fake VAR. Next will be fake holographic fans. (Consumers). Virtual reality. Fake football.
 
The sums of money being banded about are mind blowing and our owner is a business man at the end of the day BUT he (the club) had such a chance to just sit on the fence not commit to joining it and avoid this whole shitshow.

He is already a man that is wealthy beyond I presume his wildest dreams, as a man of integrity imagine the kudos he and by proxy the club could have got by distancing ourselves from this.

Fuck the Super League
