Khaldoon's End of Season Review 2025

Damocles said:
City made £80m profit last year.

The TOTAL match day revenue from every game in every competition, not just ticket sales but boxes and Tunnel Clubs and concourses and everything was £83m.

City could let every fan in yhe ground in for free and still be profitable. So yes, the rises are a choice and not a necessity. It would have been okay if they made £78m instead.

Let’s get serious for a minute.

City made that money in a season where they won EVERYTHING on God’s green earth! What if we hadn’t finished the season with a CL victory…and the revenues that flowed from that? Who would YOU have sold to raise the shortfall?

Where do you think INVESTMENT in the club comes from?

If we can’t drop a dime and ask the Sheikh for £50M, then where do we get that money?

I can only assume you have never run a successful business or taken a business course, but if you think that £80m is a huge profit from the best season ANY TEAM IN ENGLAND HAS EVER HAD should mean no ticket price increase WHILE they’re expanding the stadium and improving the product, then we don’t have much to talk about.

That said, I have said REPEATEDLY when this subject comes up that the Club would do well to provide supporters with basic long term ticket price structure, realizing that the strong core of support comes from an economic area that is distinctly different than the large London clubs with whom we compete.

If the Club said that they would cap SC tickets at (say) 3% per year for the next 5 years, and provide a match day ticket price scheme for the different teams and Sections with the same basic increases, it would stop the annual hand wringing, provide the Club with forward visibility and allow supporters to budget, too.

I want to think it's pure weight loss, but the Chairman doesn't look well. Here's hoping that he is, and if he is ill, he makes a speedy recovery.

Compared to some fat bastards I’m sure he doesn’t look well. Personally I think he looks great, a few grey hairs from all the stress but otherwise looks healthy and composed as usual.

Indeed. It would seem to be very odd to refer to someone, the ‘enemy’, by their 1st name and in the tone and manner he did, without there being a veiled undercurrent of good news (for city).

That might be going a bit far, but it at least makes Masters feel very uncomfortable :)

Good move.

They know how the game should be played. Everyone who is stressing out, needs to relax.

I am sure he has more stress dealing with multinational trade delegations and deciding how to invest his enormous fortune than he does worrying about Richard fucking Masters.

The way the senior executives have allowed the squad to age and the obsession with buying substandard cheaper options should be put to Khaldoon at the end of the season - but I’m guessing it’ll be the usual home run questions from Chris Bailey.
 
he needs to have a word with Soriano and DoF of going back to the way of signing the next Rodri,next KDB, next Bernardo etc rather than the next Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell, Bony.

if needed he has too lie that Mansour very angry with seeing his money is spent on duds making us weaker not stronger allowing rivals to overtake us on the table.

again some rumours started that instead of Wirtz we may try Eze or Cunha.

this is why we are in current situation.

instead of Raphinha or building up Palmer we opted for Doku, instead of Bellingham and Rice we opted for Nunes.

instead of a top midifelder we may go for Pogba.

sell Alvarez and replace him with Mubama from WHU's released list.
 
Where the fuck is Khaldoon in all of this lately?

He’s the fucking invisible man until the end of season PR interview

He is the Chairman. He should keep quiet except for once a year. The management should be more visible, though. And actually address issues that are relevant to the fanbase every now and then.

They won’t be Chris Bailey’s questions. It’ll be Khaldoon’s team who put those questions and answers together. All rehearsed.

He will be pissed off about all this without question but he`s too savvy to be shouting about it in public?

It feels like Pep's been hung out to dry, for months now, and STILL has to answer questions about the charges and all other bollocks like that every other week, there could be more visibility from the chairman/other personnel at the top in a time of crisis IMO
