Nothing would give me greater pleasure than Khaldoons Kabs , a taxi firm from Beswick with one car, sponsoring us to the tune of £80 million and reading Herbert's subsequent interview with Wenger on the subject.
"The Khaldoon's Kabs Arena" I'm not feeling, though. Then again, 'Etihad Stadium' grew on me.
"Khaldoon's Khabs" surely?

The reason why I ask is that will we ever be able to spend £70-£100 like Real for a truly world class player, or will doing so instantly put us in contravention of FFP for the following year?
Don't those last two posts show just how far we've come since 2008?BlueAnorak said:Bluewonder said:Soriano predicts our revenue for the 2014-2015 season to be around £400m.

It was predicted to be €400m (Euros) for season 2013-14 or £300m (£318m at the current referendum depressed exchange rate) at that UAE government conference in February.
Not seen or heard any Ferran predictions for season 2014-15 income - so I would be interested in the source of this statement. Though an article I read on a US business information publication (sadly behind a paywall) predicted rises of £50m a year for the next 3 season - so I believe a rise to that level is possible just not in one season.

I believe it's $405m Or around £250m. So still a way behind the rags.
no it isn't, we've already made £271m in 2012/13.

It's €400m not £400m. So about £330m for the 2013/14 financial year. Still good although the usual suspects will no doubt be whingeing that it's all Abu Dhabi money and the Sheikh buys all the season tickets.Marvin said:Do you have a source for this, or a report etc?Bluewonder said:Soriano predicts our revenue for the 2014-2015 season to be around £400m.

It would be remarkable if we were to exceed Man Utd's revenues at this stage of our development (with the ground development, training ground etc still to be completed, and City just establishing ourselves as one of Europe's top clubs)

Yeah, I'm talking about the 2014-2015 season. Which indeed fits the rise of £50m per season.Prestwich_Blue said:It's €400m not £400m. So about £330m for the 2013/14 financial year.

The accounts they released last week are predicting £390m for the 2014-2015 season which is similar to what Soriano is predicting for us.Chippy_boy said:Prestwich_Blue said:It's €400m not £400m.

And I'd be surprised if the scum's revenues were going to be as low as £385m - £395m, as quoted a couple of pages back.
Didn't they come in at circa £430m for the year ending June 2014?
I know the Adidas money doesn't kick in until 15/16, but even so I would be surprised if their revenues fell this year.
