Some guy at my work said he is a Man City supporter. Total glory supporter. But I can see how the treble will bring in more revenue.
Just businessmen doing business. Nothing odd to see here at all.
technically they’re also investing this profit back into the club by using it for their lawyers’ retainers
10% margin is not bad.
Most supermarkets hit 3% margin. Amazon hit 1% margin.
I still think the primary intent of these fuel states when they buy clubs is actually to just make money and diversify their assets a bit, the sportswashing thing is really overblown in my opinion.
If cleaning their image was all they cared about they’d be buying the biggest clubs in the world and not buying ‘cheap’ clubs like Man City and Newcastle and turning them into profitable machines (too early to say with Newcastle but that’s the route they’re heading at the moment)
Their main intent was to get in on the property market in the UK. They used their purchase of Man City as an in to start buying up loads of land in Manchester on the cheap to develop. It’s also why Neville is such a big fan of them, because they fund some of his projects.
In 5 to 10 years you’ll see Newcastle have loads of new buildings built by the Saudi’s.
They do not care about their image lmao they have outright said that they don’t and it’s a business and hobby interest.
It’s an asset to them not some sort of imaginary vehicle for a perception they’ve said is meaningless to them.
Yup seems obvious to me but I’m sitting here on like -100 for giving my opinion and reasoning, pretty funny
Let’s say this profit is legit, and to be fair I do think it is, it will all still be scandalous because, if proven, they cheated to get any success they now have. They purchased a multitude of players in the run up to their consistency. So I don’t listen to any claims about their spending in the 2 or 3 years because the suspected cheating happened all the years prior. I’ll wait for the final verdict but until then it’s all asterix for me. Before anyone freaks out this is only my opinion.
And they got 750 million in “sponsor money”
🤮
Weekly City hate thread, everybody get in here
FFPEEEEEEEE
Made all that turnover but only £80m profit.
They had to pay a lot in bonuses for all the titles they won
Plus all the people they’ve paid off.
Oh shut up you little weasel
For a football club that’s amazing
That’s a good amount of profit for a football club. It’s about double what Bayern made in the same timeframe
Hmmmmm. Interesting comparison with Bayern. Nothing to see here folks, move along!
I think you need to have a look at Bayern’s sponsors and who owns half the club 🤦♂️
Mate, double digit % net margin is bloody good, no matter what industry you’re in.
Absolutely laughable . Seriously though, for the sake of the league , City need to be punished for what they’ve done . Severely
Say that without crying 😂
List out what we’ve done.
You know well what City have done
I really didn’t and neither do you. But I was talking about the charges.
The media is complicit in this absolute bullshit.
Rags to riches story for the ages. Truly inspirational 🙏
From 3rd division of English football to here. Truly a great story.
The cheek of it, it’s honestly pathetic on the premier leagues part letting them get away with it.
I’m out of the loop, haven’t kept up with city since mufc is having a shit season, what did city do?
They are trying lol, they slapped 115 charges on City
So if I move £100m from one pocket to another, am I £100m richer?
Amazing what you can achieve breaking the rules 👍
Football Manager In Game Editor IRL.
#ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!!!
No. Neither are the 1000’s of murdered people of which these corrupt regimes are built.
Because England has never killed 1000s of people innit
Why does everyone moan, I want more corruption and dodgy news get all the best players what’s the big deal not your money is it ? If your club goes down you can still watch football I don’t get the moaning who cares what they spend. Man United spend 100s mills and Chelsea and their shit lol
