Anyone else think this could be a first move towards starting an mls franchise

I don't think so. City and Red Bull are the only two European clubs that have franchise clubs outside of Europe to my knowledge, they have a different business model and vision in my opinion. We are simply there to expand our footprint and influence and generate more commercial revenues. I don't think we have the means and resources or need to have franchise clubs around the world.

It seems the primary goal is a women's team:

Hmm, interesting. I wonder if they see it as a tool to promote our club and presence in the US or intend to use that team as a feeder team for our women's team?

A bit of both.

This is good. We won't have a golden generation like we had in a decade so increasing our revenue significantly ahead of our rivals is good. Can't fall behind.

Absolutely, I am really happy with the direction they are steering the club in and the vision of a globally admired institution they have for the club. We are going neck with neck with Real Madrid, Bayern, Manchester United, PSG etc. when it comes to commercial revenue EVEN with in the golden generation of Messi & Co., we have to prepare for life after Messi & Co., and make sure we will not be hit with a big plummet in influence and revenues.

No disrespect to the Koreans, but the SK market is too small. Plus, we might lose both of them down the road because of mandatory conscription.

Anyway, we should sign and scoop up talent based on merit, not as a marketing/publicity gimmick to placate certain market/population.

My Spanish is not that good.
They keep on using Barca brand for their air company so they are paying 50 more?

Qatar might not be our shirt sponsor anymore but they will become our Official airline of the Club!

So Turkish Airlines is out of the picture.
I don't think we profited much.

I could be wrong, but I don't Turkish Airlines was ever an official partner of the club, they just had deals with individual players such as Messi.

They were definitely at one point an official partner, headsponsor even.
