I'm sorry but you'll never be able to convince me that City legitimately overtook United as a financial giant in the span of a decade. Obviously they've grown in recent years and will continue to do so but to go from where they were in 2008 to now in such a quick amount of time? I'm not buying that

300m from the treble alone LMAO. Why are any of you surprised? That the team that gets to the finals of every completion practically every year makes money?

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.

But what's the real number though?

Check the LinkedIn profiles of these odd sponsorship companies City gets its money from.

Rags to riches story for the ages.

Reminds me of the classic line from IT crowd - “ When I started Reynholm Industries, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and six million pounds.”

Biggest underdog story in the world of football. All the money is obviously real and accounted for.

[–] lrzbca@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

One of their sponsors is WeWork. They filed for bankruptcy recently. How does that work??

[–] belanaria@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The accounts are for last season. So the bankruptcy wouldn’t have any baring the results for that season.

Why don't other clubs sponsor themselves for hundreds of millions of dollars? Are they stupid?

[–] Darkstar5050@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Shirt Sales 42 £2,100 Matchday Tickets 3000 £150,000 Sponsorship 3 £712.785m Pies & Pints 60 £480

Pep Guardiola's managerial skill cannot be overstated enough, considering the figures he has to make do with.
