Aren’t we buying Nancy in France?
Is that Nancy with the laughin' face, or another Nancy?

Their influence is down to the input we have given them, Nancy for example could be a gold mine as for 20 years Wenger/Arsenal had sole rights to french youth arguably the best youth in the world , it could be said that we do now.We already have stakes in both countries.
For me, if we never did it again, I wouldn't care less, as not one of them has really influenced our club.

Maybe, we might gain some influence there, but can't say I'd want it happening to City.Their influence is down to the input we have given them, Nancy for example could be a gold mine as for 20 years Wenger/Arsenal had sole rights to french youth arguably the best youth in the world , it could be said that we do now.

Now that would be a debate, feeder club with security or third division and Swales? :)Maybe, we might gain some influence there, but can't say I'd want it happening to City.

JSR Yes we could buy 1860 Munich but that would have to be 49% of the club. As the law in Germany states that the fans themselves have to own 51% of any club.

I think we need to concentrate on the club in Manchester next.
The ground around the outside of the stadium is a right shit hole. When it rains the place is just full a giant puddles everywhere. The paint up Joe Mercer Way is faded and slippery when wet. We’ve been there nearly twenty years and still can’t walk out of the East Stand and get onto AnR towards Town without walking via Scandinavia first. The plot of land behind the East Stand is just a large waste of space that’s not being utilised to its full potential. There’s hardly anywhere to eat or drink around the ground. The transport to and from the stadium is not up to standard.
I couldn’t give one shiny shit about any of these other clubs around the world we have within our group. If none of them ever won a football match it wouldn’t bother me, and even if they won every single match it wouldn’t benefit Manchester City at all. What do they actually bring to the table?
They don’t provide us with players, they hardly bring in much sponsorship we couldn’t have found elsewhere, do they even bring us new fans (because fans of Melbourne and Yokohama didn’t even want us joining them and New York seemingly hate us)?
If they all folded tomorrow I doubt I’d even read the articles about it.

Yes they have given us players and giving companies like Nissan and Puma access to sponsor all CFG clubs is a lot more palatable than just us. Not necessairly, but gets our badge and name in more countries around the world.They don’t provide us with players, they hardly bring in much sponsorship we couldn’t have found elsewhere, do they even bring us new fans (because fans of Melbourne and Yokohama didn’t even want us joining them and New York seemingly hate us)?
