I think it's begun to slow down TV money aside, but the timing is perfect with regards to squad build as our initial high costs are beginning to disappear. If we can get what we want from Nike and Etihad then we'll have one big jump of around 25-28% in revenue followed by yearly increases of 2-8% dependent on performance. Imo of course.

I think we might wait a bit longer on the Nike and Etihad deal and renew them when it'll make the biggest impact, a record deal with Etihad after winning the CL? that would cause a massive jump in our revenue

He's just sent me this:

Which would suggest any qualifying Scottish club get 10% of an overall UK pool instead of it being split by association which would be strange after reading UEFAs own statements on it but he could be right.

Cheers, so Jock football being shite is good for English clubs....UEFA seem to have pulled a fast one here with the distribution of money.

The best time to renew the Nike deal would be now after they've lost their deals with Arsenal and the scum.

It's negligible tbh even if true. They got slightly under £7m from the TV pool in 2012/13 of which £1.5m or so would have found it's way to City otherwise.

I'm sure there will be subtle hints that if Nike wish to retain City over the longer term, then it might be in their interests to re-negotiate. It's standard business practice to subtly make it clear that not playing ball is likely to result in a contract not being renewed.

As NYC have to play in an Adidas kit because of their league's collective deal, we may negotiate for the whole CFG to go to Adidas

The spanner in the works is that generally a global brand kit supplier only has one major club per city (if you class the rags being in Manchester)

Yep and for once shirt sales shouldn't come into the negotiations. It should be a case of "Pay up, or all those spectators watching the most watched league in the world will see 0 Nike shirts".

Some cracking comments at the end of this article: (It seems fans of other "Big" clubs who also spend just don't like the extra competition).

And all factored without the leisure destination, which will be a licence to print money in the years to come, no doubt :)

Also, perhaps, with our production line in the next five to ten years starting to impact on our need to sign superstars from other clubs.

Just a couple of really minor points, he missed £700k on Trippier and £4.5m on Suarez.

And both Milner and Richards were earning an extra £1m a year in wages between them.

I think we are gearing up for a financial arms race with United and Chelsea in the next couple of years.

Thankfully, United are well behind at present.

However, I am still of the opinion that signing Messi will see City become the biggest club in the world.

that last line of yours tolm, fanciful speculation or.....

he would be 29 next june, 3 to 4 years left at the very peak of his powers?

Nike are not stupid, they won't need to be told. I'm no billionaire businessman (you're shocked, right?) but if it was me I'd be going down the route of saying that this must be a concern to you, but we are very much your partners in this, and perhaps we need to sit down and discuss how best to maximise Nike's exposure in the Premier League over the longer term etc etc.
