When will City pass Utd's revenue?

This, people, is what we call a raggy thread. I would expect this on ragcafe, come on guys.

Who is the biggest club? Seriously who cares. As long as we are the best on the pitch does anyone, apart from the people within the club that are paid to care, really give a shit if we have more or less commercial revenue that United?
 
united and the rest of the so called biggest clubs in europe are up to there eyeballs in hidden debt in holding companies that they don't have to declare as there debt. and all united's debts in the final figures will be added on if they was up for sale its could be something close to another £200 million added on to the £300 million they say

and if you look at manchester city and the club value to what its was sold for 10 years ago its amazing and they say we have spent a £billion on the team well if they was to sell right now they would double there money in the investment they paid so to all the knockers they knew what they was doing

It's net debt I think. Debt plus cash assets.

From their 3rd quarter report

"Net debt as of 31 March 2018 was £301.3 million, a decrease of £65.0 million over the year. The gross USD debt principal remains unchanged."

They include cash paid in prize money at the end of the season to get 301M. The 65M yearly reduction will be an increase in prize money or changes in exchange rates (probably a bit of both).
They will be paying just as much in interest payments as last season.

The only objective way of measuring the size of a football club is through footballing revenue because that is what delivers football on the pitch

That's complete and utter nonsense.

By this logic Burnley are a bigger club than Benfica, and Leicester City is a bigger club than AC Milan.

It always makes me chuckle that football supporters get such a massive hard-on for how big their club is (or perceived to be)
 
Keep winning, playing beautiful football, and keep working hard off the pitch to secure more and higher value sponsorship, which will become easier the more succesful we are on the pitch.

We're catching the bastards up fast, and if we continue on our current trajectory we should hopefully pass them in the next few years, provided we keep winning trophies, and providing they continue to regress. We need another PL title next season and a longer CL run, coupled with those cünts winning nothing again.
 
Not for decades - and only if we are very successful in that time.
Their debt is well under control and will be gone within 10 years. Indeed we are currently in a golden period of about 4 seasons where our disposable income is nearly equivalent to theirs. After that we will need to be canny.
The fact that we have a DOF means we have some sort of consistancy across managers. Utd don't and is the main reason why they lose a shedload of cash every tine a new manager brings in their player choice.
