San Jose Earthquakes....They have a good academy, have history of using youth as its the cheap option.

Would be good exposure for them to get players to The European market, while they get an established club sending them prospects to work with for a season.

San Jose earthquakes have a link up with Tottenham already, Spurs were mentioned as a club we’ve visited in the Evening News article so there might be a possibility it is them.

Previously owned some Telemundo stations in the US, which would suggest that Miami would be a focus (Telemundo is based in Coral Gables, Florida).

Selfishly, LAFC, as that's my home team here in LA. Unfortunately, LAFC posted Celtic related item that they had received through Adidas. I did send a note to the Head of Commercial telling him to get some Hibs merchandise in instead :D

He seems to be based in DC these days.

49ers.

Am wondering if you have some useful inside information ?
Thought this comment was a bit random until I read this article about Leeds involvement with the 49ers

Am in no position to speculate or even suggest that there is to be a tie in with an NFL club , but if Ron Gordon was suggesting the club he was talking to has a turnover in the hundreds of millions of dollars , would suggest this was an NFL club rather than a MLS club. The largest revenue figures are Atlanta who are around $78 million

Possibly an organisation who owns an NFL club and a soccer club. But maybe just a wild theory

If it's an NFL club then I hope it's not the Eagles.

We're so bad right now it's probably contagious.

Has that brought any benefit to Man City? Genuine question. I don’t know the answer to that.

The City Group bought Melbourne Heart for fairly small sum and rebadged them as Melbourne City. Later they acquired Aaron Mooy from Melbourne City and put im out on loan to Huddersfield Town. Huddersfield gained promotion and signed Mooy for a bigger sum than was paid for the purchase the Melbourne City club.

Since then Jack Harrison joined New York City while he was studying at College in the USA. He transferred to City and went on loan to Leeds United. He is expected to sign full time for Leeds for an sum of around £20 million.

City also secured a seeason long loan for Frank Lampard a few seasons back because of the New York City links.
