2021-2022 Annual report - City post club record profits and revenues

Yep. I find it hard to believe we couldn’t get a new main sponsor for a similar amount of money. You could argue that at this point it would be worth the club taking a little less money from a “non AD” company just to make the media nonsense that surrounds it go away. As you say, the only explanation is that they don’t want to.

I don’t want them to. It winds up just the right idiot curtain twitchers who are obsessed with us…

United and Liverpool fans any time we walk past their windows.

I honestly don’t understand why it’s so difficult for other fans to grasp the concept that the best/most successful team earns the most money. United and Liverpool are the biggest culprits yet they have been through it themselves. They had periods of sustained success and lo and behold they grew bigger fan bases and enjoyed the financial fruits from it. City become successful on the pitch and revenues grow off it. It’s the natural order.

In any other walk of life people accept that this is how the world works. What percentage of people had a Nokia phone in the late 90s/early 2000s? How many have them now? When Apple came along with the iPhone in 2007 nobody was like “oh no, you can’t do that, you’re a nobody”. It was just accepted as progress.

Big companies are interested in growth potential. City started from a pretty low level and growth potential was huge. It has paid off handsomely. Mansour could sell us tomorrow and get every penny back plus plenty more. In any other industry (or at any other club) it would be considered fantastic business. It will be considered fantastic business when FSG sell up and realise a huge profit on their outlay. Only in football and specifically at City is owner investment frowned upon. It’s a complete stitch-up narrative peddled by media shills from certain clubs.

The Sheik has already got a massive chunk of his investment back with the shares sale to the Chinese and to Silver Lake.

Can only invest so much due to FFP rules. That horse well and truly rode off into the sunset when them rules came out. So it doesn't really matter how much money the owners of Newcastle have they can't spend it.

Liverpool have had to face the fact that no ordinary, working class, republican, anti-royalist, fair play club can compete in a game run by reactionary, royalist, elitist elements, even with the help of American billionaires. Despite heroic efforts to insist on reasonable transfer fees and to treat players with respect it has become clear that nothing can stop the rise of new clubs financed by oil money which not only buys FIFA, UEFA, the PL, the EFL, the RSPCA, clubs which inflate sponsorship deals and even bought the referee on Saturday. It is a sad day for traditional football clubs and for UEFA's traditional football values. To any interested parties FSG will not consider bids of under $5 billion.
