As always, Swiss Ramble presents his analysis in a way that is so understandable to non accountants. A valuable and much appreciated service. Thanks SR.

Swiss Ramble’s analysis on Twitter worth a read, as always:

It's hard to read that and not appreciate the outstanding job the people in charge have done, especially with the numerous hurdles that have been used to try stop us.

What a club.

Not their legitimacy, their “provenance” which alludes to a belief in too many AbuDhabi based sponsors.

Semantics.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Very much this.

FFS. Pull yourself together.

I wonder how many would be acceptable?

I wonder how many would be acceptable?

The silliest is the critics lump the hotel in with this, when the sponsoring company is Chinese,

I always remember khaldoon saying in 2010 or sometime around that period that we'll become self sustainable and will outgrow and be more successful than most if not all Premier league teams and I'll be honest I thought yeah ok, we're in debt and not even in the top 4.

But the club, the chairman, the CEO's, sheikh mansour and everybody else behind the scenes have been absolutely true to their word, here we are one of the best teams in Europe, on and off the pitch an absolute juggernaut and hopefully the next 10 years will outdo the last 10 years.

I fuckin love being a city fan.

Understandable as well.
Stefan (@projectriver on here) made a comment in his instant reaction to our accounts on the excellent The City Spaces last week.

This is not to challenge the legitimacy of the accounts/auditors but we simply don't know the source of the big increase in commercial income in the last couple of years. 19/20 we had Puma but where has the £60+mil increase for 20/21 and 21/22 come from?

A large amoutn would be title winning bonuses no? It's common knowledge those feature in big deals like the ones signed in 2020.
