NEW YORK - New York City FC fan Barry Williams indicated his interest in exploring a one time switch to Manchester City FC if the Major League Soccer owners lock out the league.

“I already care about the team, they are already playing and they are first in the premier league,” stated Williams to The Nutmeg News. “I’m contacting my representation about filing my FIFA one time switch should the MLS season be destroyed by the owners.”

Williams admits he is in the same situation as many fans of MLS teams who are exploring transfers to the Bundesliga, Premier League, La Liga and Liga MX should the owners kill the season.

“I don’t have that many quality years supporting teams left,” stated Williams. “And I want to ensure that if the league will not support me that I’ll be able to spend my final years supporting a team abroad. I don’t trust the league to do the right thing, so I’m going to explore all my options.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Williams prepares for his premier league switch by complaining about VAR.
