I have been impressed by City's ability to keep season ticket prices down - mine is more or less the same now as it was when we first moved into CoMS - and for the policy to keep prices down we should be grateful......

Caps on wages and caps (or restrictions) on transfer fees. If a club violates the cap, they pay stiff penalties. Also start working on more revenue sharing. Is is done with great success in the NFL. Whan was the last time you heard of a modern NFL team going into administraition or receivership... Never. The owners are making bank, the players are making bank.... the fans seem happy.... Not sure if it will work in europe though. Football has been run like it is for a long time and change so drastic is hard. Expect to see MLS int he states run more like the NFL than any UEFA afiliated football association. If they can avoid growing faster than their fans base will support I think the MLS will be very big int he US sports market, instead of it's present number 6 spot (behind NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and NASCAR)... personally I prefer WRC or F1 if we are talking racing but that is another subject.... Come on City! Grab 4th! I know now one wants to hear it, but if the majority want parity in world football, then you have to insititute caps.
