It's all detailed in the accounts, or the business desk article.

They increased sponsorship by £30m due to 2 new deals. Matchday went up because they played 5 extra home games.


They seem to have some very big exceptional costs which make the headline numbers look better, but really by now we (City fans) should be well versed from the 115 case how unlikely it is that they're faking the books because of the huge number of people being involved across multiple public companies and the liability it would involve. Reading half a dozen comments on here about second accounts or fake accounts is like reading clueless kids rant about City on twitter.
Thats is true but i thought it was well documented that they had one set of accounts of red football and one set of accounts for manchester united and one is presented to avoid ffp issues?
 
Amorim is a dead man walking. He has 3 games to save his job. That would bring us up to November international break. Which also coincides with him being manager for over a year.

He has a clause in his contract that if he is sacked within the first 12 months, he receives 12m in a severance pay out. If he is sacked after 12 months, he only gets half that.

If When they lose to Chelsea he is gone.
 
£33m debt this year, £113m debt the year before £28.7m the year before. So that's £174m over the 3 year qualifying period. No covid period to help them out this time. They have to find £70m of relief from somewhere which would be an another extraordinary amount to wave away by the PL.
Not long before we see MUFC Ladies on eBay.
 
I’d love it if we have won the 115 case we released the outcome today, just to overshadow their revenue bull shit.
 
If Google is correct, United have reported losses of:

24/25 - £33m
23/24 - £113.2m
22/23 - £28.7m

That gives them a figure of £174.9m loss over the last three seasons. I know they were permitted around £48m special costs as exempt for "restructuring" during the takeover, but their £40m special "COVID losses" season (which was substantially higher than most other clubs and, some may say, unusually out of step) is now out of the period taken into account for psr.

I also see they've been granted a £50m exceptional cost for the Carrington refurbishment, and the £10.4m cost for sacking tent peg is it included or another exception?

But even then, they've got to be close to the limits, surely? And that's is now heading into a season where they're guaranteed to have less matchdays and ticketing income because of less games. Maybe we should be crediting their accountants here, but it does feel an awful lot like certain clubs enjoy a closer relationship with the rule makers, than others.
 
How the fuck have these cunts made revenues of £650 mill

For comparison City made £715 in the 2024 accounts, things to think about going forward

Improved kit deal with Puma
Improved Etihad deal
Extended North stand and hotel bumping match day revenues

Two clubs going in different directions

Manchester United submits the accounts of its UK-registered subsidiary, Red Football Ltd (RFL), for Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) assessments, rather than the Cayman Islands-based Manchester United plc, resulting in a significantly lower pre-tax loss figure. This discrepancy is due to RFL's accounts excluding exceptional costs, such as Sir Jim Ratcliffe's minority stake acquisition costs and other currency-related financial costs, which were incurred at the plc level but not passed down to the subsidiary. This strategic reporting has provided the club with more financial headroom for spending and has influenced how its PSR compliance is perceived.

It stinks doesn't it?
 
Record revenues isn't a particularly interesting statement, everybody in this league at least, are regularly posting record revenues. The TV money is so vast that it dwarves anything else now.

The net loss is the clear signficiant figure here and that's after all of the cost cutting they've done. They've cut everything possible and whilst they have reduced losses substantially, they have still have made a net loss, that should be a big concern.

They arent getting CL anytime soon to raise their necks above water, they don't have many saleable assets anymore. They'll have a big payout to make soon enough when they sack amorim and replace him. They have plans for a new stadium to fund as they can fuck off asking for handouts on that. Any suggestion this is a positive set of figures for them comes from somebody who hasn't a clue what they are looking at.

It's a bleak immediate future ahead for them and its going to be glorious.

They're telling them what they want to hear so they can get the engagement. 1st goal is always huge in the derby, but coming home from the game I couldn't remember them having a shot on target even though the stats said 2
Gigi's fantastic save was from one of them, but the other escapes me
