This is this Tebas guy who keeps shooting his mouth off with incredibly mis-informed rants about City.

Complete fuckin idiot

There was definitely an article in The Times on 17th Aug. but I can't access the full report.
Spain’s La Liga has announced that it plans to play regular league matches in the United States as part of a new 15-year deal but it can be revealed that the move has big hurdles to overcome before it becomes reality.

Fifa, US Soccer and the Concacaf federation will have to authorise the matches, which could prove problematic if they are viewed as impacting on tournaments already in the country, such as Major League Soccer.

The day I have to give up a game at our ground so some fat American cunt can whoop and holler like an inbred toddler, is the day I turn my back on footy


see that girona v barca is the game that is likely to be played over there...
