    And still £32m less than Bayern Munich who don’t enjoy the big fat broadcasting revenue like PL clubs do while City won treble. One must marvel at Bayern Munich operations and also wonder when state owned clubs can’t catch big clubs revenues after fudging sponsorship deals and other things what do normal clubs do to have a chance. Big clubs are too big and they keep becoming bigger and bigger.

      I see what you’re trying to say but this is definitely not the thread for this discussion. When you bring it up here it just looks apologetic to City.

        As a Chelsea fan, where ever I bring it up it would be the same case. I didn’t have Manchester City revenue results to comment under Bayern Munich revenue’s results post. If it was the other way around I would’ve made this comparison comment. All those billions spent, illegal stuff, one of the best run club’s, had best season and you still can’t catch Bayern who don’t have the biggest broadcasting revenue like EPL and who don’t charge fans overprice tickets. Sometimes you got to sit back and wonder how big are these clubs that even billions and legal stuff can’t catch them in couple of decades. If a normal club wants to compete in the right way it’s almost not possible. Asking this question doesn’t necessarily mean one is apologising for Manchester City or Chelsea. Incredible stuff if you zone out for a moment and think.

    People of city of Manchester are known for their great work ethic, good manners and humbleness. They have two great football clubs in their city, Manchester United and Manchester City. While the first one were successful for a long time same could not be said about the second one. Before the current ownership came MC had many ups and downs, however now with the establishment of City Football Group Man City are the best football club in the world. This is because Sheikh Mansour’s great vision, hard work, wisdom and business acumen. Now people of Manchester, those who support City can hold their heads high and have a sense of pride and accomplishment for their beloved football club.

        Yeah and generally sponsors pay in advance or at least installments so even if they could just cut it early they are probably already locked in just on that they already paid.

      This sounds like when some 14-year-old tried to make Asahi a no-name company when City signed a deal with them.

    Add this to the 115 reasons we already know that this club is a cheating and illegitimate state run machine with no morals. How they can continually be allowed to get away with this and face no punishment while playing with 2 first XIs with a completely empty stadium and no fans I don’t know. Someone at the Premier League needs to wake up. Has anyone ever actually seen someone wearing a City shirt in public? You’d think they’d want to keep a low profile right after paying off the referees in the Liverpool Vs Spurs game. Shameless

        I don’t want to be that guy but this is exactly what Chelsea were doing ten years ago under Abramovich

        City in 2023 and Chelsea in 2013 have a lot of similarities when you think about it. Clubs that were largely irrelevant at the very top level for a long time and then both clubs were bought by foreign entities where the money being funnelled into both clubs attracted a lot of criticism due to the questionable morals that the owners represented

        Both clubs started to immediately find success not long after the respective takeovers and just after winning the European cup for the first time, both clubs are starting to cement themselves as established football clubs amongst younger generations

      Like a test run of a 17 yr old spouting incorrect things he heard online. 115 charges of which 95% are connected to the same charge of false accounting 14 years ago, there are no moral billionaires running Premier league clubs, just those in different parts of the world with different rules. Mate, please everyone and their sister knows city doesn’t have two 11s. The stadium has over 50k people for 60 games a year.

      I will say it’s entertaining to watch some people just break down mentally over all of this. Paid the ref for other teams games? lol

      The funniest thing is that they don’t even try to hide it.
      In one season they were the club with the most income!
      more than real madrid!
      They behave like cheaters. When you don’t punish cheaters, they will continue cheating!.

      I spent the whole summer in a resort town in my country and from my (admittedly anecdotal) experience the overwhelming majority of kids wear PSG and City shirts. And it’s mostly tourists from different parts of Europe. Basically kids from countries without big clubs tend to flock to the current generation of stars.

        95% of the ‘Old team’ flairs here are that. I’m an American and tons of people are United fans, did they just draw United out of a hat to support? No they were good and wanted to watch good football when they were younger.

      I’m very new to football. What are the rules around sponsorships? A team can take funds from literally any company as a sponsorship? I assume there are rules around this (and sounds like City has broke the rules) but I find it hard to believe that everything they’ve done to get here is illegitimate?
