There were many contract extensions/improvements and bonuses in that period.Bonuses wouldn't have been that different to the previous year though? We're up almost 20% on the previous year.
KDB, Sterling, Stones and Walker and probably others.

The 13 month period was 2 years ago, not last year. It's possible the new Etihad deal was front-loaded but we might not have recorded it that way. It's also possible that the Nike deal was originally front-loaded and with 2018/19 being the final year of that arrangement that we got a lot less to balance out the front-loading when it started.Another couple of items that might explain the decrease in commercial income could be
a) 12 month reporting period compared to previous seasons 13
b) if I remember rightly, wasn't the Etihad deal front-loaded to help with ffp? So higher payments at start, reducing year on year
Might even show that pro rata we have actually seen an increase in commercial money.....
As a Holding Company can they use losses elsewhere to offset any taxation due?The ones about the loan facility are interesting. I've said before that we probably generate about £120m+ free cash per annum which we would normally spend on players. We don't publish a separate cash flow statement for City so can't say for sure but that's my best guess. CFG however had generated a negative £50m from operations, which suggests City are propping up CFG cash wise. If that's the case I'd be a bit worried.
Me neither.Does being part of CFG have any sort of positive impact on the club?
Can’t see anything obvious to be honest.
I would imagine that with the losses we ran up in the earlier years (eg £198M),we'll be quite safe from CT for a while.As a Holding Company can they use losses elsewhere to offset any taxation due?
