this is all well and good. but will we ever win the biggest club in asia trophy
They're not doomed, but whilst the Glazers are in charge they will be forever hamstrung by their business philosophy and their financial aims.
Manchester City set to overtake rivals Manchester United in financial stakes with club record turnover as Reds count cost of no Champions League football last season
That figure was a £76m rise from the previous year and a similar increase this time around will see them sail past United for the first time in decades.
City are keeping tight-lipped about what their annual report will show but Sportsmail understands they are very happy with the figures.
Mike Keegan spouting his usual bollocks. Read the story and it reinforces what I said earlier. He's making a completely ridiculous assumption that our turnover will go up by the same percentage that it did last year. I can't see any justification for that as there are no major new income streams that I'm aware of that would be reflected in these last accounts. The 2014 accounts included the boost from what was then the new Sky/BT deal.
Here's the crucial bit of the article:
So Keegan has no idea what our turnover is for 2014/15 but you can bet your life that when the figures do come out, his headline will be "City fail to catch United in revenue".
I've added a comment but the fear and panic among the plastic rags is hilarious.Some of the comments underneath are hilarious @Prestwich_Blue

Why are they using five year old sensationalist shitty press nonsense as gospel?
Its hilarious though.Poor education i'm afraid.
All very well and good mate. But your conclusion was "very difficult even for a club like Utd to get back in to the CL if you drop out!" and this is still nonsense.
Since you like to multiply all your numbers by three (to make them sound more significant presumably) then United's revenues over 3 years are circa €1.5bn with or without CL money. That makes they one of the richest clubs in the world, with or without CL money. And therefore - as one of the richest clubs in the world - the idea that they are suddenly so impoverished that they cannot afford to invest enought to get back into the CL again, is just nonsense.
Sure, missing out on the £38m will have pissed them off, but it's really only a "pinch" to use our terminology.
How much of Utd's £362.2million do they repay every season?
I ask because that is what has to be deducted from their income compared with ours for a meaningful comparison.
