Deloitte Football Rich List (merged)

[Techno]

If this MEN article is true then we're likely to overtake the rags and for that matter the rest of Europe

But a man who oversaw Barca’s rise from the world’s 13th richest football club to become European champions and second only to Real Madrid in terms of revenue, has been eyeing a return to football.

We are still in Europe. The latter stages of any European competition are attractive to fans and TV. Maybe it's well behind the Champions League, but if City go to the Final it would make up for the revenue lost from failing to qualify to the next round of the competition (and it might also help earn more ranking points to earn an easier draw next time around)

tbh ... when the results from this season are released next year ... well be just behind Inter i think.

Nice title by talkSHITE, completely disregarding the effect Etihad + this year's Champions League will have next season.

Absolute bollocks isn't it? Only United are allowed to win things with maybe the odd cup for Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool as these are the "biggest clubs"
We should really fuck off. I feel a bit guilty about being top of the league now.

Re: Delloite Financial Figs positive for future

In 10 years or so it seems every Champs League final will be Barca vs Real. Just cant compete with that kind of money. Cause of individual tv rights they are just untouchable. And fact their fanbase increases dramatically by year, cause only 2 teams are good in spain and they practically share all silverware between them, never out of CL cause no competition. If like 10 years ago some other spanish teams could compete with them, its quite clear in 10 years, there is no chance to win league/cup for anyone outside those 2 and FFPR are helping that it stays like that

its self defeating.
Their income will only grow so far, as the domestic competition becomes boring their rights lose value and their income will fall.
The premier league is competitive and so the value of its rights will remain high.

add into the equation the state of the spanish economy and the inevitable reduction in the backhanded state support both receive and the future isnt rosy.
As soon as the they both have a dip in form they will lose revenue, lose competitiveness, there will be no response from the rest of the spanish league as they still wont have money and eventually spanish football looks a lot like ducth football, or if really unlucky like scottish<br /><br />-- Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:46 pm --<br /><br />

I can see us maybe reacing Arsenal and Chelsea levels in the next 5 years but can't see us going higher than that realistically.

the main limiting factor is the size of our stadium (and thus matchday revenue).
I have just a sneaking suspicion this will be sorted in 5 years

its not only a increase in matchday attendences that will increase revenue its that very clever marketing ploy ie gold season tickets

And how many corporate boxes we can cram in and sell to rich British and Arab business men after a nice call from His Royal Highness Sheikh Mansour "insisting" they enjoy the entertainment of Manchester City. :P

The long term increase in finance will be from the global markets as the RAGS.

today has seen the launch of sky blue membership in the UAE and the signing up of Japanese media partners, Next Summer we are going on tour to China, It is all linked into globalization of the club. It may not be everyones cup of tea but will be necessary to continue comercial growth.

Unlike previous tours I suggest we field a strong team to beat Arsenal in China, then they will follow a winning team getting beat in South Africa doesnt improve the clubs image.

Figure in brackets is ECI ranking so you can see which teams are doing better relative to their wealth. Porto are extremely well run as their ECI is No5 and they aren't even in top 15 in terms of turnover. We look very good in this table but only because the spend levels aren't shown! Still the relationship between momey and success is clear. Roma look the big underachievers.
