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

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Cash generated from operations to fund transfers is likely the most important metric for a football club. This is of course driven by turnover and key costs such as player wages.

Profit is meaningless as a football club doesn't or shouldn't (cough cough, Glaziers) exist to turn a profit.

Agree - cash generated to cover the cost of the squad (wages + amortised fee's) is the key factor all clubs will look at. Wages are a bigger cost than fees now and will continue to be.

The above assumes that all other costs are accounted for. For the likes of the rags the owners are draining money out and that is a massive problem for them. In addition you have paying for infrastructure and historic debt. When you factor all those things in we get a tick in every box, we dont have any of these problems.

The teams that can tick these box's; us, PSG, Bayern Munich and Chelsea are in a very strong position.

with so much money now lets extend the north stand, we might not fill it but it will look well smart then.

yeah i personally think doing that and doing alot of external comestic work on the stdium would be a priority to be honest as it would ram home that we want to have the best of everything? Really dont think they will build a brand new one but the etihad needs to be made one of the best with the north stand expanded (hopefully a single tier wall type) and the whole exterior LED wrapped to really stand out.

Most likely the fumes from the swamp

Since 1992 city net spend 2.096 billion=6 titles (including this season)
Liverpool =£1.62 billion = 1 pl title
Chelsea £2.201 billion net spend = 5 pl title
And they say we bought the title

Is that the sound of baconface expiring?

Runs to fridge.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Well our turnover is massive and our profits are tiny, who cares, we win lots of silver pots and have the worlds best players and manager.

That won't be the case for much longer. Once the arena opens there will an extra £50m a year flowing into CFG.

The c*nts can't write a positive headline about City without having a sly dig. It's a continual war of attrition against City.

What has Ferguson and the noisy neighbours got to do with the article?

Charlie Walker - the Daily United.

Runs to fridge.

And freezer surely?

Do you get cups for turnover?

Turnover in all businesses is a dick measuring ego trip, profit is king and success on the pitch is all that is important.

Yes whatever happened to the old financial comment "Turnover for show profit for dough?"

The noisy neighbours have invested in their house whilst the foolish grumps have sat on their hands hoping and spraying the cash on tat.

Surely that’s poking fun at what Fergie said back then?
