2022/2023 Accounts - Record Revenues & Profit - Annual Report

[ninjamonkey]

Good to see those annual season ticket price hikes were neccesary...

Could be looking at a £78 million profit and a ticket price freeze.

Phenomenally ran football club, just wish they showed us match going fans even the slightest bit of respect.

Someone just couldn't help their bitter selves in the headline....

Man City post record annual income although potential breaches hang over club

City’s annual revenue of £712.8m tops the previous record declared by Manchester United

www.independent.co.uk

The more they write that City are topping rags achievements on & off the pitch the more it will gradually sink in & be believed & accepted as the norm

So look at it as they’re unwittingly doing us a favour :) :)

If you are looking at those figures and have responsibility for further increasing revenue then the obvious 'weakness' is match day income compared to say United and Liverpool.

It you take Liverpool as the easier one to compare as our respective capacities have been very similar most of the time then why do they out perform us? Simple really, they have a much lower proportion of season ticket holders than us so far more tickets are sold at match day prices and presumably corporate and hospitality. The club is tackling this by not issuing new SCs so the overall number is lower than previously due to non renewals and by significantly raising match day prices. A test of this strategy will be the number of *NEW* SCs issued when the expanded NS opens. My feeling is that the proportion will be closer to Liverpool's than it even is now (& that is lower than where we were say five years ago).

Enjoying the caveat and proviso ridden reporting of this excellent news.

But we wouldn't would we? Because had we not sold those players we wouldn't have spent the money on the ones that replaced them!!!!

...any word from the club on the utter shambles that was Istanbul yet? If what unfolded had happend to a certain club at the wrong end of the east Lancs Rd, the club involved would have made sure this had been brought up in parliament by now - not that I'm advocating such a course of action and waste of taxpayer money.

It would be nice to have had some kind of acknowlegement from the club about what people had to endure though. Unfortunately all City are interested in doing is sucking up to uefa and hanging the club's supporters out to dry at any given opportunity - the most heinous example of which was when the club hierarchy saw fit to publish an open letter, that put its own supporters on the same level as the feral filth supoorters of the club refered to earlier in this post.

Not sure they're quite that greedy, Liverpool are a real outlier in terms of how poorly they treat fans.

Roel de Vries has a project with a Tech Company to design a virtual Etihad stadium with a pick your seat ticket buying system. If it works out this could generate considerable revenue from our global fan base. It could flop though.

A little ganders at RAWK and this has the exact response you’d imagine. Put a proper spring in my step.
