Forbes have just published their latest '20 Most Valuable Football Clubs' article and we're in at 6th place. It quotes our revenue as $558m, which is around £425m. We haven't released our accounts yet so that's the first indication of how we've done for the 2015/16 financial year.

I was expecting just over £400m so it's slightly higher than that and around 20% up on last year's £358m.
 
But according to rags all our money is oil money given to us by our sugar daddy and our accounts are falsified because we run at a huge loss every year. Oh, and our sponsorships are all bent related party transactions.

Seriously though, this is very good news. Onwards and upwards Blues.

By my calculations, we know we've earned £160m from TV for the PL & CL. We've also probably pulled in about £60m in ticket revenue. That means we've probably earned about £200m in commercial revenue.

Is any transfer income outside this? Do you have the 3 income categories of TV, matchday and commercial tracked since the takeover? Would be interesting to see how they have moved.

Not bad for a massive club with 20,000 empty seats.

Are you f***'ing sure? ;-)

Red Cafe will be in meltdown.

All the Rag's in London, the Home Counties, across the UK and the World, will be accusing us of every financial and related parties tricks possible. You can already feel their pain here in M/CR.

It doesn't matter how much you try and spell it out to some people - and present accompanying evidence - they are so blinkered that they still think every penny of our commercial revenue comes from companies based in the UAE. It's not just a section of United's support either - the same goes for some Arse and dipper fans too.

Another thing that makes me laugh regards the part of our income that does come from Abu Dhabi based companies and the Etihad deal in particular. We didn't just get criticised at the time for it being supposedly above market value but we also got pelters for our owner sponsoring the club with his own money. Of course, we all know that that isn't quite the case and Etihad isn't a related party going off international accounting standards but when have other clubs been slated for being sponsored by their owners? Newcastle got mocked for the Sports Direct Arena thing but they weren't criticised outright for it. And what about Stoke? Owned by the Coates family and shirt (and now stadium) sponsors are BET365 which just happens to be owned by the Coates family, yet I have never once seen an iota of criticism of this set-up anywhere. If anything, Stoke's owners get praised for being shrewd business people (I don't disagree with that) whereas ours gets called out for being dodgy or bent despite him conducting business deals - often with other national governments - that are many times more significant than any that are done by other football club owners.

Ha ha can't wait for the following comments from the soft cunts..
'Dirty money'
'Oil money'
'Paying the fa'
'Bribe money'
'Somebody is fiddling the books'
Personally I think it's absolutely fantastic that we are producing the goods on and off the pitch. Great news and it's only going to get better.

Good post. You don't expect anything better from brain-dead plastic rags and dippers but it always makes me laugh when Arsenal fans refer to Arab or oil money. That would be the same Arsenal who play in the Emirates stadium and have 'Emirates' on their shirts, plus they're part-owned by one of the dodgiest fuckers imaginable.

And even if Etihad decided to stop sponsoring us, do they seriously think that we wouldn't get an alternative sponsor for the shirts and the stadium? And probably for significantly more than the reported Etihad deal.

Presumably our Etihad deal is under valued at this point in time, so were they to stop their sponsorship I guess we could get a better deal with somebody else. I would further guess that renewal of shirt sponsorship and kit deal represents a next stage in our planned revenue growth.
