It is laughable when people try and use Pool, not ManU for this exercise. We are talking in the modern era so present day relevance and global branding is a huge fricking factor.



Your head is in the sand if you dont think the pool brand is massive globally

Pool's brand is huge, but it is not ManU big. That is why the Yankees makes more sense.

Pool would be closer to the Cardinals or something. Again, this is just a fun exercise in futility.

Global brands:

Barca
Madrid

ManU

Bayern

Other clubs (Liverpool and other huge clubs like Milan)

I don't know baseball that well, but what about the obvious comparison of Liverpool to the Boston Red Sox?

I just liked the comparison to the Cards, because they're my favorite baseball team (not that I watch that sport any more)...

yeah, the Cards are consistently good...

There are no great fits, but ManU to the Yankees is pretty damn close. It is not a negative to either team. Both have glorious histories.

Liverpool is more Cardinals than Red Sox, but both ball clubs have been great in the 21st century. Cardinals have had more past success and the second most titles.

Is this really still true? I'm not disagreeing, there just seems to be a sense of London being such an advantage in recruitment (regardless of what level tier of club there you are comparing to a comparable club outside the city)now.

considering there is only one major team in london who actively spends money, and they haven't been that active lately, i can't agree
