gonzo Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The only hope is yon fella getting bored after not winning the champions league and pulling the plug. They’re still a long way off United or Liverpool etc in terms of world wide revenue imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted November 27, 2019 Members Share Posted November 27, 2019 If anyone goes and have a look at the size of the continued operation and construction in and around the stadium and training grounds as well as the other affiliated teams across the world you’ll see that owners are going nowhere and are in it for the long haul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also reckon the infrastructure and associated stuff makes them less of a money sink than a club which has money chucked purely at the team. Companies buying in surely points to something being done right on the business front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Still around 1bn less than the Yankees and 2bn less than the Dallas cowboys. Still a way behind on a global sports team scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger_Dubuis Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Renovating half of East Manchester is stretching it.City had already moved there but the Arabs have added a small ground for the womens team/ reserves and some training pitches.Droylsden, Denton, Openshaw, Ashton, Audenshaw etc are still the shitholes they were 20 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted November 27, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2019 Most of those places are in tameside. I don't think he was really talking about them with "East Manchester" to be fair. Can be no doubt that a lot of money has been invested around the stadium.

Fair enough.The city centre to Ashton is an urban sprawl I would class as East Manchester.Wine bars and restaurants don't line the streets, it hasn't been gentrified like some other areas of Manchester despite City having a ground there and being worth nearly £4 billion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the jobs come, and money filters down, it will be like Vegas. Saudis, Russians and all manner of wealthy individuals pouring money into casinos and high class housing. Scrotes will have to relocate to Trafford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Red Rodge wins by playing the numbers game - ie Man U have more morons up for it than anyone else in England, but thats probably because Man U have more morons following them than any other club in England.

Life is much better with them winning stuff than the vermin. Anyone who says different I won’t even dignify with a response.

Built on sand (or oil) in my opinion, no way on earth the money chucked at it can ever be recouped and therefore it will at some stage go pop. Might be 20 years but it will.

Traf Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Another way of looking at it is this. The sheikhs have sold a 10% share of the group for the equivalent of the transfer fees for two top players. When you look at it that way, the group is possibly undervalued at 373 billion.

For year ending 2018 City made 10 million from increased turnover off 500 million, that’s with the best manager in the world running the club and with them winning the league, it only takes a couple of seasons with no trophy or a change in manager to change fortunes drastically (as we found out) a 10 million profit can quickly turn into loss, no way on earth the club/group worth 373 billion never mind more.
