He’s so out of sync (or out of touch!) with it all, as well.
2022-23 - when we had a higher revenue than Madrid - isn’t even in the years of the 115 case. Yet he’s talking as if it is.
Plus, even when we look at that season, Madrid only got £129m from La Liga TV revenue. That’s the same as what Brentford got that season in the Prem.
Prem TV revenue is larger than La Liga and Bundesliga combined.
In terms of adding the likes of United and Liverpool to Madrid; City have a completely different business model to them. While they have bigger fanbases, globally, that would only go as far as shirt sales which is tiny money, and in most countries is from the fakes industry anyway. Two of them only have brand reach from having their most successful eras decades ago.
City have a current group of teams under our umbrella across the globe and we are currently in the midst of our most successful era. We are an active business presence in most continents and our reach is contemporary. We have a different more modern kind of reach for sponsors that they don’t have.
They live in the past as fans, but their clubs are operated like it’s the past n’all.
