In the City system, RB/LB are the hardest positions to play in. not only do you need to be a damn good defender, you neet to be as good as a winger in attack, becuase in the city way of playing, the width comes not from wingers but from the fullbacks. look how Zableta,Kolorov,clichy plays.. so when are you guys gonna get proper fullbacks then? So these guys mentioned are not good enough for a team that won their second title in 3 years and are regular for their national team? isee

What Drama queen you are. (you are not supposed to support the owners but the team) What a clown you are! He is supporting his team and the colours are an important part of that. If our colours had tried to be changed to red and white us City fans would also have been up in arms about it. But the very fact is, the colours will NOT be changed so why keep moaning about it. Im not sure city fans would moan half as much if city changed colours 5 years into its existenes, after all city have changed colours through history and as we all can see it worked out pretty well in the end.

What exactly has not gone CFGs way in NYCFC? i follow that "project" deeply and cant say i agree with that assumption If you're reffering to the stadum than i can say this, CFG will do something not many other have been able to do, build a stadium in the actual city.

Isn't that what the colour debate is all about? Another team deciding what our colours are? true, what i meant was. im not taking part or side in the colour of the shirt debate. its just weird that Sidney can influence hearts colour choice. I just hope Heart absolutly run over Sidney next season to shut them up.

about my latest post, didnt think i would need to expain it. i mean vs Sidney they can decide stuff like this without being challanged. still im not interesting in the colour debate that you guys are but how another team can decide another teams colours, this is just madnass

I hope CFG respond with full force. just to see who has the real power.

Sidney fooking cry babies think they can own a variation of sky blue..

I can see city leave. you cant just take invenstment and dont expect giving anything back. (CFG sole reason was to expand their brand) and the club and the league is worth as much as bench player for city. Im pretty sure city will not care as much about heart now when they cant even get their brand 100 per cent out there. I bet there will be no big signings either. From a business perspektive its just not worth it, CFG have teams in shanghai, japan, soon India and Sout Africa where money will be better spent. best for both parties, Heart supporters got what they wanted. Now let us see NYCFC flourish

There is not a chance City will walk away from Heart over this. They signed a contract for a 20 year licence for the club, they knew FFA would have final say over such matters, and any return of the Heart licence would result in likely legal proceedings from the FFA. The negative publicity from walking away alone would be devastating to their reputation, and would make many federations weary from allowing them to further invest in other leagues across the world. Can't see it happening, and can't see them taking this to the Supreme Court without further putting the FFA, football public and media offside. FFA won't budge on the issue, cause if they do they will undermine the entire league and open every HAL club up to offers and complete rebrands from foreign football clubs in the future. It is the right decision from them for the integrity of the league. If going to the supreme court is what is required to get us playing in sky blue then that is what will happen. FFA have played a strong hand, which may come back to bite them as they need city to pump cash in the league to get it to grow. City can still "walk away" by running the club on a shoe string budget like it previously was run and then just focus on NYCFC. If you think any negative media will tarnish their brand then you are wrong as money and results ( for city not us) are ultimately what people focus on not a small team in a shitty league in a country full of people that don't even like the game. Like I said, they have little ground to challenge the FFA on. The FFA controls nearly all aspects of the A-League, they knew this before buying into it. The league has experienced significant growth over the past three seasons and is in arguably the strongest shape it's ever been in. The FFA don't need City to grow the league like you say, to grow Heart yes, but not the league and not if the investments come at the expense of the integrity of the league as a whole. FFA has shown many times before it is prepared to cast off owners no matter how many billions they own, if they threatened the integrity of the league as a whole. And if they put Heart on a drip feed and try to kill the club (like you say) then I can't see how that wouldn't damage their rep. How could anyone allow them to invest in other clubs in the future, knowing they might do that to their club. So yeah nah, I reckon you're wrong about that. A-leauge may grow, but its sill a nothing leauge compared everything els. Citys revenue are what? 10 times that of the entire A-league. city revenue is larger than any sporting league in the country. we are talking about one single club here larger than entire leagues. so FFA could need some help from city to grow.

true but brands like these mentioned, dont attract sponsorships. CFG need to build a platform where its sponsors can reach out to most ppl as possible and this is easier if the brand itself is the same on all continents.

I want to point out that i only try to see this from CFG point of view. because seeing it from supporters is not very hard.. i dot not advocate a color change here..

the difference in sponsorship deals to CFG (you reach out on all continents in all iconic cities) compared to today where its one team one city one league. do i need to futher explain why this is a good thing compared to the rest of the world football.. But if the CFG brand are not unified it will damage the brand. and everyone will lose out. this is why i believe this is so important for CFG

you think you would care in 20 years? pretty much the entire club is at stake only because of colours that in 20 years you would have grown to like so much the red and white would be a distant memory like ALL other clubs that have changed colours clubs with 100 + years of history CFG as a global brand would lose shot load if theres one continent where the brand cant be unified. it basic business. a sponsor would probably dont care about australia if the brand are different to the other clubs..
