My favorite teams
Remember when Manchester City made huge waves by purchasing an 80% stake in the expansion New York City Football Club, with 20% being owned by the New York Yankees, and how the team was the 2nd in the market?
Well, it is deja vu down under now...
Manchester City has purchased 80% of the Melbourne Heart, which will likely be renamed Melbourne City Football Club, while the other 20% will be owned by the Melbourne Storm of the National Rugby League. The team has always been in the shadow of the rival Melbourne Victory.

I'm anticipating that the dominant side from Manchester will be partnered with a dominant side in New York and a dominate side in Melbourne, in basically that order of overall talent level.
