The 22 comments in 3 hours of this post on the city sub is funny. All 22 of them.
they’re up to 28 now. Guess some fans must have commented twice
So each of their fans has wrote 3 comments each.
Guess we’re not as used to beating off over financial reports as Utd fans
Weird cos we got LOADSAMONEY
touch grass
Yeah, ignore the fact that City won the Treble, and all the revenue that’ll bring in, especially this day in age… must be fake.
Prize money is a drop in the bucket for big clubs. It’s really minor in the total revenue
Yeah, ignore all the fake sponsorship deals. Definitely are fake.
Dreams cannot be buy
The most shocking part of the article is that Man United held the record for a month before this.
Manchester City post Premier League record revenue of £712.8m*
Can’t be much of that in jerseys lmao
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.
Cheque Complete
Really is amazing how City have done this, and without breaking any laws or rules
Truly amazing
A great day for Manchester and therefore the world
How could the glazers do this???
Rags to riches story for the ages.
Reminds me of the classic line from IT crowd - “ When I started Reynholm Industries, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and six million pounds.”
Built from the ground up, with nothing more than just a few billion pounds investment
“A small loan of a million dollars”
A small loan of a million dollars…
Art of the Deal
A true example of the American dream in club form: anyone can make it as long as you have hard work, vision, generational wealth and oil money.
When I started this club, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and six million pounds. Today I have a football empire the like of which the world has never seen the like of which. I hope it doesn’t sound arrogant when I say that I am the greatest man in the world!
What’s the value of the investment now?
Almost certainly less because its a business likley operating at a net loss
Sport has never been so clean
Amazing what a good shoelace sponsor can do for you
“The greatest story in club football history”

Totally legal, totally cool
Check the LinkedIn profiles of these odd sponsorship companies City gets its money from.
Do you have any examples? I looked at the MCFC sponsor page and none seemed off (other than WeWork).
I could see how some of them might involve ‘laundering’ but that would apply to any club, e.g. overpayment on services for that company whilst receiving sponsorship, but I assume that that’s at least against sponsorship rules, if not illegal, and would apply to any club anyway.
Here is a story that explains the situation with 8xBet where the ‘CEO’ is caught in lies about the validity of the company. Online images of employees were traced back to modelling agencies in London.
They accepted money from a Crypto site called 3Key and then it wasn’t until an external investigation showed that none of their executives actually existed anywhere online before they cancelled the sponsorship.
Here is a financial prepaid debit card sponsor that gave City over £500k per year for a few years despite only activating 145 cards in the history of their company.
Either City’s owners are thick as shit accepting money from everybody or they are cheating. And I don’t think they’re thick as shit.
One came up on here once, the CEO photo was a stock image, the company all but didn’t exist. They’re cheats.
Do you know what it was called?
Shell companies
Hard work does pay off.
Dreams can be buy
Why don’t poor people just pay themselves some money, are they stupid?
Bro, Man City accountants have been working tirelessly for 15 years straight.
Why don’t all lower table clubs just follow the City model? Are they stupid?
Newcastle got the memo on this
All the lawyers are tied up working for City
Magic!
