Accounts are out for 2017/18 - revenues over £500m, profit of £10.4m

Even the biased Scouse/rag fanzine the BBC at least gives us a positive headline, compared to the veiled criticism from the Guardian headlining how much Sheikh Mansour has paid. For a media outlet purportedly originating in Manchester its bile towards us is a disgrace,

The article itself penned by David Conn, say no more.

Dearey me talk about how to create a huge negative out of a positive. Must be delight to be around that guy!

This is really good news but I wonder in terms of profit what we are going to aspire to in the coming years?

Has anyone mentioned "when they get bored" yet ?

If I was the Sheikh, I'd be bored by now - making 90 million a year must be boring as f*ck.

BUT WHAT WILL WE DO WHEN THE SHEIKH GETS BORED??????

Conn's take here: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...city-accounts-sheikh-mansour?CMP=share_btn_tw - observant readers will manage a full house on their 'David Conn City Article' card, I fancy.

If you can discern anything positive in here, you're a better person than me. No mention, for instance, of the fact that Mansour's investment (perhaps just a clue in that word, David) has enabled Mansour now to own an asset that's worth hundreds of millions more than he's spent on it. Perhaps just that line about moving away from the UAE sponsors, but then he moves swiftly on and discusses how we were overly reliant on them to buy players we couldn't afford.

It's a pretty short and perfunctory from our favourite po-faced purveyor of dismal, handwringing bullshit. Still, maybe he just didn't have time to write anything upbeat about City today. He must be busy putting the finishing touches to his piece about what's gone wrong for his mates at FCUM. Due just about now, surely?

The comments on MOTD Facebook are great, and far too predictable. Gotta love football banter.
