I'm only guessing here with fag packet accounting but with revenue of approx £500 mill we have been making roughly £50 mill profit,less some years. Using that, even if we increase revenue to £700mill I wouldn't expect profit increase be much more than £20 mill. Too easy to confuse revenues with profit or even losses.The “huge additional revenues” from winning the Treble are an incremental 50m max, most of which will have gone out on bonuses. We also have a £300m new North Stand to build..
I know I want to post something irrelevant but I'm just not sure whether to go over the top positive or over the top negative.
Your’e just having a laugh here, I hope anyway.Seems like we are clearing the decks for a spell in league two, post premier league charges ;)
What I don’t get is if you identify a player and there is competition, sometimes you need to pay over the odds.
Offering £90m for Rice, could’ve gone to £105m (offloading some academy kid for the other £15m)
Players will choose City but they are also like the rest of us, if there is significant money elsewhere, they will relent.
Could be the year where we slide back into the pack. No panic, as long as the board stop worrying about looking good with regards to net spend. You get what you pay for….

We do know that the new stand and development is £300m, that’s on the record. Liverpool’s new stand is reported at around £110m.Not having a go at you.
You don't know that. You don't access to any financial information at the club that backs up your comments. Nobody does on BM.
Expanding a stand hasn't stopped Liverpool or other clubs expanding their grounds from buying players. It didn't stop City buying players when the South stand was expanded.
Worst case scenario, I still don't think there's any chance we end up not challenging strongly for the title.Seems like we are clearing the decks for a spell in league two, post premier league charges ;)

That 300mil doesn’t count towards FFP so it shouldn’t affect our transfers. We’ll probably take out a loan where the additional revenue will offset the annual repayments, similar to Spurs did with their stadium.The “huge additional revenues” from winning the Treble are an incremental 50m max, most of which will have gone out on bonuses.

Mate you are too emotional and sentimental….Seems like we are clearing the decks for a spell in league two, post premier league charges ;)

This isn't the rag's we're talking about, we don't do debt.That 300mil doesn’t count towards FFP so it shouldn’t affect our transfers. We’ll probably take out a loan where the additional revenue will offset the annual repayments, similar to Spurs did with their stadium.
