Truly the most heartwarming British football story since MK Dons.
Biggest club in the world 💪🏼
City cheated
lol imagine
not even top 2 in manchester. just an oily bolton wanderers
Not even top 3 in the country
In the city
Lol
Not even the biggest club in Manchester. A derelict North West English city.
Have you found your uncle?
Biggest underdog story in the world of football. All the money is obviously real and accounted for.
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.
Hilarious coming from a Chelsea supporter
If you want to banter about club allegiance, flair up.
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.
Seems very legitimate
Bulshit, rofl
Lol, I love how the utd flairs are all over this…
Found their revenue sheet:
Shirt Sales 42 £2,100 Matchday Tickets 3000 £150,000 Sponsorship 3 £712.785m Pies & Pints 60 £480
Can we charge them yet
Something is really fishy here … those pies and pints can’t be £8 each
Right? They’ve written this like the club is based in London
Unfortunately Manchester is extortionate as well now
State ownership - Priceless
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.
People of city of Manchester are known for their […] humbleness
I know this is a copypasta but this bit is comical. Very few places in the UK that huff their own farts as much as the mancs.
Manx’s are great but they aren’t humble lol
I don’t know why you are being downvoted lol I found it hilarious. People do know it’s sarcasm right?
ChatGPT doesn’t know that United is based in Trafford instead of the city of Manchester?
Knew this was a sarcastic post the moment you mentioned Mancs and humbleness in the same sentence.
One of their sponsors is WeWork. They filed for bankruptcy recently. How does that work??
The accounts are for last season. So the bankruptcy wouldn’t have any baring the results for that season.
You just shout “I declare bankruptcy”
Congratulations, you are now bankrupt!
The shrews will arrive at your registered address within five working days.
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.
Hey. I just wanted you to know that you can’t just say the word “bankruptcy” and expect anything to happen
Exactly! You have to declare it, which they obviously didn’t.
Didn’t WeWork valued at 40B+ at one point?
This sounds like when some 14-year-old tried to make Asahi a no-name company when City signed a deal with them.They did their IPO like 6 months before demand for office space cratered.
Real shame because they could have got done nice free advertising from the latest David Fincher movie
I’m guessing they signed a multi-year sponsorship and are contractually obligated to see it through
WeWentBankrupt,LookingForWork
It’s okay, there will be no lay offs as they didn’t actually have any staff. Their purpose was to sponsor Man CIty and they achieved that already
A true underdog tale 😂
Yeah, ignore the fact that City won the Treble, and all the revenue that’ll bring in, especially this day in age… must be fake.
Yeah, ignore all the fake sponsorship deals. Definitely are fake.
Prize money is a drop in the bucket for big clubs. It’s really minor in the total revenue
Have to pay it all back in fines soon. 115 charges ain’t cheap!
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’ve seen a fair few kids wearing City shirts lately. They’ve definitely made a huge dent in capturing the next generations fandom with their on field success.
Yep I remember getting the train to Manchester from Chester the weekend City won the treble and the amount of kids wearing City shirts was crazy
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
Yeah no duh. Success begets fans the only difference this time is where the clubs got their money. the richest clubs have always had the most success and thus the most new fans.
I genuinely don’t think I’ve noticed a single kid wearing a city shirt in London (have seen some adults). Quite a lot of PSG ones but otherwise it’s still pretty much the usual suspects
It’s fake. I heard the club give them our for free
Yeah that’s factual.
don’t those kids get made fun of at school tho
I think someone pointed out that last season’s title winning thread on their subreddit had like 400 comments or something lol
LOL
The fact people don’t realise your comment is satire lol
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
Lots of kids wearing City shirts in Vietnam TBF.
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!.You’re think the stadium is empty? as as season ticket holder I implore you to try and get a ticket for one of our PL games later in the season?
You took the bait my friend
chef’s kiss
New copypasta dropped
I see loads of City shirts in London nowadays
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.
Basically kids from countries without big clubs tend to flock to the current generation of stars.
Kids from all countries do this, look at all the United fans in the south.
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.
Lol yeah, in France in the summer I saw a shop with four kids kits hanging outside. PSG, City, Inter Miami and Al-Nassr. No need to guess the players on the back.
Man City jerseys are some of the most common amongst kids in my neck of the woods
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?
How are you a mod of our sub. Fuck off
Can’t sell out a stadium though.
