It'S $780mil on a 49 year lease + option for further 25 years.Then we pay up to $4mil on the lease as New York own the land. This outlay is for the stadium only. It is no different to the new Co-op Live arena which is being built for c50% of the cost of the NYCFC stadium. The land is owned...

Aside from these big developments and investment from CFG, Mubadala are keen to get in on the act as well.... Mubadala Capital are investing just short of $1billion for 20% of the Brazilian league commercial rights. Seems CFG and Mubadala/UAE continue to see a big future for football related...

Update from stefan when asked about it this morning:

Just seen. He gets around but back to his roots!

Great post and informative as always. Just for some more context about 2008. On the day the takeover was announced Marty Edelman (New York attorney who had worked on a series of Abu Dhabi projects since 2002) was with Sheikh Mansour and was invited on to the board by Khaldoon the following...

But he doesn't get picked most games. 6 starts out of 14 in the league 14th in the squad for PL minutes played but ahead of Mahrez and Alvarez. It was the same for the 2nd half of last season. From Jan 1st 2022, 9 starts out of 18 in the PL and 0 starts out of 6 in the Champions League k/o...

Thanks. Slight typo - original post edited to read as below. Point still holds. 22 games he started we were W15 D5 L2 (ppg 2.27) 16 games he didn't start we were W14 D1 L1 (ppg 2.68)

6 starts out of 14 in the league. 14th in the squad for minutes played but ahead of Mahrez and Alvarez. He's been a squad player for all of calendar year 2022. Post-world cup and the mad schedule in 2023 I bet we see much more of him and ample playing time to prove himself fully to Pep and...

Have you got the source? Based on understat or fbref he wasn't second in his own team. Understat: 0.46 KDB 0.29 Foden 0.28 Jesus 0.25 Grealish 0.24 Mahrez 0.23 Gundog 0.21 Sterling 0.25 Bernardo

Yep. Like the "dropping points when Grealish hasn't played" stat above, correlation does not imply causation and there are multiple other factors. I've also seen it on here (I think on here but might have been elsewhere) that last season we did better in the league with him rather than without...

Mancini's full contract details were dropped earlier in the year and clearly spells out the Premier League was the most important and dispels the usual media shit that our owners only wanted to win the Champions League. The hierarchy of bonuses in Mancini's contract was: the Club will pay...

Funding from the Executive Council? Sounds like Harris picked-up on your Open Skies revelation.

There's a 90 minute video to accompany the conference where those quotes are taken from. A heavyweight anti-City, anti-UAE panel of Tariq Panja, Nick Harris, James Corbett, Philip Auclair, David Goldblatt + a couple others all in a row. I listened to the NicK Harris section spouting his bile...

On a quick search closest I can find is this on Page 27 point 37 Even the CFCB 's own valuations of these sponsorship rights for 2012/2013 ranged from £40 million to £77 million for Etihad The actual was £67.5mil so under the highest value in the range

Yep. As others have said if they use "state funded" it is accurate because of the Abu Dhabi sponsorships and they are mainly state owned companies.

I referenced cityblue brain before and his work is good. I think he has underestimated UAE sponsorship income and the £65m-£67.5m was confirmed over 8 years ago. That's a long time ago and presumably increased since then. Before anyone jumps on me again this is irrelevant as per the "Abu Dhabi"...

Operating income is £613m from, as you say, £249m broadcasting, £54m matchday and £309mil commercial. Player profits (whilst highly relevant) are not included at the top line operating income/loss. Under the "Abu Dhabi" clause introduced from 2015/2016 in UEFA FFP regs (at the behest of the...

It was renewed to £67.5 mil about 8 years ago. The figures are in the CAS2 settlement document.

For the 2 years 2019 to 2021 no we at 45+ mil followed by 37mil for 2022. LIverpool up by 30mil for 2019 - to 2021. Accept looks different depending on the starting year. Stefan's point was that for those looking from the outside we've accelerated through 2019-2022 when the sponsorship market...

Not officially afaik but I've noticed it is still on the shirts :)
