    Why 700? Their daddy shell companies could have round that up 1 billions. I mean it’s just a make-believe figures all around. Don’t be stingy.

    I could send them an A4 paper with £300 millions written on it. It’s about the same as their sponsorship revenue

    One of their sponsors is WeWork. They filed for bankruptcy recently. How does that work??

      Didn’t WeWork valued at 40B+ at one point?
      This sounds like when some 14-year-old tried to make Asahi a no-name company when City signed a deal with them.

      Real shame because they could have got done nice free advertising from the latest David Fincher movie

      It’s okay, there will be no lay offs as they didn’t actually have any staff. Their purpose was to sponsor Man CIty and they achieved that already

      The accounts are for last season. So the bankruptcy wouldn’t have any baring the results for that season.

      I’m guessing they signed a multi-year sponsorship and are contractually obligated to see it through

        Yeah and generally sponsors pay in advance or at least installments so even if they could just cut it early they are probably already locked in just on that they already paid.

        Hey. I just wanted you to know that you can’t just say the word “bankruptcy” and expect anything to happen

    I’ve went to Asia and America, never seen anyone with a Man City shirt, I even saw someone with a Tottenham shirt.

    Pretty inspiring. I think their fundamentals, their long history of high achievement, and their passionate international following should get them above Real Madrid soon

    It’s mad how insanely good they are at just about everything, and how none of it matters. Schrödinger FC.

    Congrats to Manchester City on a great business. Unfortunate for Everton you broke 1 rule once so you will have to be docked 20 points and get relegated Sorry but you shouldn’t have broke the rules. Be more like Man City. and break the rules 100 times then it’s fine.

      But it was fine in the 70’s and 80’s when Liverpool were the richest team in England due to their owner.

        It’s hilarious seeing it. I hate city dominating but the are literally doing what United have done for 20 years under Sir Alex… Buy the best players and dominate the league.

          difference is neither club had a unethical, backwards state backing them for non sporting reasons

          I think people are more angry about where the money comes from (which wasn’t an issue when Liverpool and United dominated respectively) and the fact that regardless of spending a lot of money, there is growing evidence that City have been ignoring the existing financial rules for years anyway

            Again, you’re not wrong. Where the money comes from is a valid, but in my opinion, separate argument from the money ruins football thing. As for the breaches, I agree, the rules may have been brought in by the current elite to limit competition or you may disagree with that. It’s irrelevant if the rules were in place and broken there should be punishments.

          And Liverpool before that, Chelsea after it, and so on and so forth.

          Shankly might have picked the players back in the 60’s but it was Eric Sawyer who arranged all the financing. In other words, they needed money to build the team and sign the best players.

          Go back far enough and once the wage cap was lifted every team used money to buy success. Some also tried and failed.

          Also in Liverpool (the city)back in the day the biggest team were 100% Everton. Once Liverpool became successful (under Shankly)those percentages began to change. In other words, there were plastic success chasing glory hunters even back in those days.

          No one will ever admit this though.

            I know what you’re saying but that is a really modern way of looking at it. This is forgetting a significant thing in the way football fans behaved in the 50s and 60s, at least in Liverpool, can’t speak for other places obviously, but it was extremely common for people to ‘support’ both clubs. You had your preferred chosen side of course but it was far from unusual for people to attend the match of whoever was at home that week, Everton or Liverpool.
