It won't be on transfers, guaranteed
It might be on pricing of tickets/merchandise etc
It won't be on our stadium infrastructure and future plans around this
But, it might, and probably has had in the past, discussions around the ESL, possible future developments in the PL, things like league size. Italy I think at the moment are debating whether to decrease the size of Serie A because of the expanded European competitions. Discussions around parachute payments
What both clubs can do for Manchester
I'm not suggesting we are in bed with them. But equally I cannot believe we completely ignore them and we don't communicate
I thought ticket prices was fixed now? And the cost of shirts you can see by just visiting the clubs website. Still don’t see why a meeting would be needed for that?
Ticket prices aren’t fixed at all. Maybe they discuss pricing for packages for tourists? This is increasingly becoming a more lucrative market for clubs. Not beyond the realm of possibility we want to increase our share of this. Maybe this sort of thing isn’t discussed.
My last point re the ESL is pertinent though. And so it’s very likely we have informal chats over dinner or over a round of golf. So I do get your football viewpoint of why would we. But from a business angle it’s almost certainly a given
