The rags club is like one of those scrawny cows they have in Africa which has been milked and milked and milked and is just about clinging on to life.
The Glazers have done the milking and the herdsman (Ten Hag) has the unenviable task of getting them to market to be sold.

It might be because I'm a FOC but I don't understand the appeal of Goldbridge and his like. Who the fuck wants to watch someone watching a game on their own TV whilst giving a running commentary on what he's seeing?
It wouldn't be so bad if the 'commentating' was fair and partial, but why would any non-rag want to listen to an uber çunt like him waffling on and on? Most people have access to a TV or laptop/computer nowadays.

Bizarre.

Nobody watches this sort of nonsense for the live content and insightful commentary. These people make a living off their team losing and opposition fans watching their staged, over the top reaction to it.

This guy probably gets more views ( and indirectly, money ) off City fans than he does United fans.

That’s the money maker, he’s making money off United being shit. He doesn’t want to see the 90s return as the rest of the world won’t tune in to watch his melt downs.

It would make massively more sense, the potential to 'add value' to any of these teams in a business sense is huge.

I just can't understand the appeal of the rags as a commercial investment, yes they've got huge income but they've got even bigger debts and are basically just breaking even at best.

I suppose ultimately these investors are just like the typical rag fans, it's all about glory and being associated with the big name rather than having any real interest in football.

Any guaranteed Premier League club is basically a cash cow at this point. It's not really about the operating profit, but the value of the club. The Glazers bought the club for 800 million they're about to sell it for something in the region of 4 billion. So they've increased their money by five times in 18 years, all the while being able to take money out of the club to fund their luxury lifestyle.

Partly, but I reckon there's also a big market of armchair fans overseas who don't really have a sense of community around their club. Go on Twitter on any of those 'banter' pages or even the clubs' official social media channels, and it's all foreign fans.

I'd say the majority of his subscribers are plastics who never go.

Yes. On line is the major way to participate in a club in another continent. TV is a passive medium. City have millions of on line fans but it is impossible at the moment to monetise them. In future, things like the virtual stadium (currently in development) may change this.
