So for me it is either Bayern Munich to tip the hat to a legendary Goodison memory or Everton de Vina del Mar to acknowledge our historic influence as first/second in some order.
My third choice is Real Madrid if Carlo is still in charge as that would get global attention and we know he would be respectful and helpful from a PR angle which matters.
Maybe the USA team from a marketing angle leveraging our former players might be worth considering, particularly if we still need investors having been sold to a kind of bridging private equity/investment consortium.
If it is an English club it should be Villa. The longest running rivalry and again a fitting nod to the past whilst looking forward.
FWIW I am strongly opposed to giving the other lot any chance to steal our thunder.
and why ?
A local rival ?
A team we have history with ?
A European Giant ?
Someone we can beat ?
