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?
