Global fans count...why is that even a thing?

This is a business, plain and simple; the amount of deals done by our owner, or indeed any owner, has little, if anything, to do with the number of alleged fans.

Plus, what is the magnificent algorithm that works this out?

I guess these numbers are used when attracting global sponsors,so it will have quite a bit to do with the clubs business plan.

What actually counts is EXPOSURE. Sponsors look at stuff like tv audience figures how many? where? etc. Historic cups won etc not really relevant. Number of fans claimed not really cogent.

Well quite, not sure why anyone would draw any conclusions from total revenue as a multiple of social media following. Commercial income, maybe, and if anyone looked at that, they would see City are at the high end, but Bayern, Spurs, Dortmund and PSG are all higher than City. Seems they have some pretty good commercial people too.

Actually, commercial income as a proportion of broadcast income may be the best indication of commercial prowess, including as it does both monies for success and for global coverage. I may have a look at that ....

Hasn't it dawned on the Scousers, Rags, Harris, Delooney and the rest of the rabble that City's accounts and sponsorship deals are scrutinised by UEFA and the PL every year/season. If they are happy with City's revenue and sponsorship deals, whats the problem? (ssssh, there isn't one)

Yes but we're fiddling the books and have pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. All the Liverpool & United fans know this.

Lol. City can fool the financial and legal world but can’t get past the scum/dipper detective agency. Red sleuths are on the case ;)

The Premier League has now been in existence 30yrs and City has dominated it for a third of this time, yet we are still getting this shite about not earning our revenue and sponsorships, beggars belief

You really need to add you’re being sarcastic there mate, it’s not beyond this deluded lot to cherry pick that and say “look, even Prestwich Blue is saying it”, ;-)
