I always wonder what changes if he doesn’t score that.
Does City take a half step back? Does Abu Dhabi keep throwing hundreds of millions at the club? Does a slightly less aggressive spend let Liverpool tip them in 13-14?
Without those two titles are they able to attract Pep/willing to give him a billion dollars?
How different does English football look if City doesn’t become a juggernaut?

I think the only thing that changes is Ferguson stays on a few extra years.
Doesn’t effect LFC 13/14 at all. LFC 13/14 wasn’t even supposed to be there
No idea but Todd is about to launder his bad Chelsea contracts through the Saudi league

This is going to become a necessity; unless something is done about it (which it won’t be).

Maybe one day we can skip the pitch altogether and all club competitions can be contested directly on boardroom webcams.

What does him having to be an American have anything to do with this? This is more of a loophole in European Union/Sports by-laws than anything else.

I mean, this concept was started by Red Bull and Man City, but has been done by plenty of other teams, too.

it already is a necessity tbh. Off the top of my head for just the Premier League, Bournemouth, Brighton, Villa, Man City, Everton (soon), Chelsea (now), Newcastle (in talks with a club in Belgium recently + Saudi League), Palace, & Forest all have owners who have links/own parts of other clubs.
It really will start to be an arms race (if it isn't already). I know that UEFA have been investigating the links between Villa/Vitoria, Brighton/Union Saint-Gillois, and Milan/Toulouse with regards to each team in UEFA competitions
As Bluesfan mentioned, Red Bull did this long before nationality got involved. I get the value for the sport, but I suggest that an Arab prince, Chinese real estate tycoon, or African mining company owner could've all done this down the road themselves. Hell, the owner of Sunderland is the son of the owner who owns Olympique Marseille.
E: The primary way to stop this is actually implementing laws that make it illegal.

I absolutely despise multi-club models. It sucks.
I understand the competitive advantage but it really just does suck.
I genuinely wonder about long term salary caps, harsh player loan limits etc. that will turn off teams from trying to do this type of thing.

Yeah I was trying to be nice about it, but this is how you are going to need to feed your engine. It’s the best way to do it.
