Because they are horrible at transfer fees

I don’t know but I’m currently writing a review of that new Johnny Marr album. I haven’t listened to it yet though.

That's probably the best way

Bacon face sounds like he's slurring his words in that video. I can hardly make out what the piss head is saying.

In that video? I’ve never heard him speak and not hear him slur his words.

He’s never been able to say their club name properly; it’s always been “Manchesternited”.

There are many important parts of the financial report, but as far as I’m concerned this is one of the most important parts! Which often get’s over looked in favour of the figures, which are the most important part of the financial report.

That’s right you lurking Rag and Scouse c*nts!

‘INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’

I doubt very much any poster on the CAF or on the Asylum that is RAWK has gone to the trouble of posting this very important information and point.

Unlike United, City don’t funnel their money through the Cayman Islands Tax Haven.

Unlike Liverpool, City don’t have a shirt sponsor that has been fined £100mill’s for money laundering and other illegal activities.

Not just money laundering, but money laundering for terrorists on multiple occasions in Iran and Afghanistan.

Went to redcafe and rawk to see some reactions... Bitterness, delusion and hatred ... I love it!

Manchester City won a trophy 4 years before Newton Heath were formed,26 years before Arsenal and 51 years before Chelsea and won the FA Cup 61 years before Liverpool, also won a European trophy 4 years and the League Cup 11 years before them
And we're the one's with no history.

Not sure about that first stat. Don’t think we won a trophy in 1874, 20 years before we became Manchester City.

How come ‘City income overtakes rag shits’ (or similar wording) isn’t a headline on the BBC football page?

You can bet your bottom dollar that it will be if they come top next year.

So City overtake United in club revenue, for the first time in Premier League history.

Most of the money comes from broadcasting revenue(TV appearances) and prize money. None of City's commercial deals have been found to inflated by City's independent auditors nor UEFA's approved auditors either(since 2014). Etihad are not a related party, no disguised owner investment has ever been proven. Nor would Etihad need that if they were short on funds... The airline is owned by one of the wealthiest states in the world and sponsorship is part of their growth plan.

Yet the bitter false narratives will continue.

According to some sources, United now have the most expensively assembled squad in the Premier League after City's sale of Ferran Torres. They had the most expensive squad in 2014 and 2016 too, apparently.

United also have the highest wage bill(base wages I assume) in the Premier League this season too.

United also have the highest net spend in the premier league for the last 5 years(sort by balance, descending). I find it weird how some sources report different figures. Some sources report transfer fees that are different to everyone else's. While some sources seem reluctant to keep their list up to date:

*We’ve not included the £49.5million that City received for Ferran Torres in January 2022.[So they did an edit but decided not to update the total, when it would have taken barely any extra time?]

Total net spend:​

Man City – £490.96million
Man Utd – £444.91million
Arsenal – £336.99million
Tottenham – £202.09million
Chelsea – £180.07million
Liverpool – £147.07million

City's net spend this season, after the sale of Torres, is currently £30m. That's £1m less than Spurs', which puts City in 10th place in the biggest net spend table. United's net spend this season, is £98m, which is the second highest after Arsenal's. That's something to remind the bitters of, if we do win the league this season(and more hopefully) and we don't splash any cash in this window.

Yet the narrative will continue. That City are only winning because they spend money and "Anyone could do what City are doing, if they spent the same".

 

[Metalartin]

What was City's wage bill last season? I can't seem to find that. It shouldn't be surprising if it is the highest. The team that is winning silverware the most consistently and getting to big finals, should be the best paid in the league. Chelsea had to pay out because they won the CL. United's being so close to theirs, shows they are doing what they criticised City for doing when the City project started. They are overpaying in transfer fees and in wages. To attract the players they want to their club. That's because they aren't winning things, they aren't even challenging and CL football is not guaranteed. They don't have a team or a brand of football that the best players want to be a part of and the club itself is not as an attractive prospect as it once was. Not that they will admit it.

United fans are unlike their mates from Liverpool who think that football ceased in 1992 (apart from European competitions) and did not restart until Klopp arrived?

Villa fans think that everything stopped in the Victorian era apart from a brief window at the turn of the 1980s.

And many City fans of a certain vintage think football died when we stopped being shit! Me? I couldn’t care less as I only started supporting us once the money came in ;)

What will Simon Jordan say when he’s analysed the figures???
