City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

For what it's worth I've complained to the BBC about their half arsed stories and constant ridicule of my club. Enough is enough now, I don't mind them giving it us when we're in the wrong or broke the rules but it's getting beyond a joke now when they print these lazy, untrue and slanderous headlines.
Surely somebody who works at the BBC with half a braincell should be pulling whoever writes these headlines and saying have you thought about what you are about to put on social media.
Absolute imbeciles.

Normally they're pretty good, and are probably at least internally consistent.

Sancho is there, but it's a little convoluted as he is listed as sold by City U18, rather than the first team. That will be something that will comfortably slip by casual stat collectors like journos - I only noticed because you said it was on Dortmund's listing.

Thanks. That explains it. As you say though data collectors are probably going to miss that so when papers report the net transfer spending they're unlikely to capture that.
 
The thing is, PSG's deal with the Qatar Tourism Authority is clearly dodgy. There's no way that should have been benchmarked at anything like the EUR 100 million reported here: http://www.espnfc.com/paris-saint-g...in-to-value-qta-contract-at-175m-euros-report

And now they're trying to value it at EUR 175 million, which is 30% of their income. I remember reading an assessment on a football business site that suggested the benchmark figure could be ten times too high. UEFA bottled a confrontation with them in the past, but is now being pressured to act by the vested interests. OK, fine.

But leave us out of it. Our Etihad deal is now clearly undervalued, we agreed as part of our FFP settlement in 2014 not to increase two AD second-tier sponsorships and AFAIK haven't done so since, or announced any new ones. We aren't the same as them at all.
 
So let me get this straight: the BBC website's lead sports story is in effect a non-story about City and some people still think there isn't a media bias against City....
 
It's got to the stage where I feel as a club we should start fighting back publically not necessarily in this instance against UEFA, as they have confirmed there is no case to answer, but against La Liga & cronies tell them a few home truths, as one person stated 'stop taking it up the Arse'
 
Barcelona, a club that likes to paint itself as a moral guardian in a sea of shit but in reality they are the most cynical club on the planet.
Yes, worse than the Rags
