    Spent over 1 billion Euros in transfer fees since Guardiola's arrival, for people who understand how and why certain sides have created such huge worldwide following and therefore generate far more money in sponsorship deals, merchandise, gate receipts, corporates and broadcasting revenue than the vast majority of other clubs it is pertinently obvious that City are NOT the top earning club in world football or anywhere near approaching it and can't possibly be, but for their owners circumventing FFP to put their own money into the club as revealed by Der Speigle, yet UEFA and the Premier League are STILL investigating

    Look at this list, the decades of success, in all the top Leagues and European competitions, having built massive worldwide fanbases, regularly selling out all available seats and tickets and corporate and event boxes for every single game and the footballing world believes these figures are legit?

    Come off it Without a billionaire actually putting their own money in through various alleged sponsors and image rights companies, there is simply no possible way on their incredibly limited success that City are possibly ahead of all those world renouned historically top and massive clubs

    Same with PSG. Minimal tv revenue in an annual one horse race. No way the have more legit income than we do, no way.
    Chelsea probably won’t be that high in the coming years either … hopefully

    I was watching the game last night on low volume as there was a documentary on football and tye super league etc.
    Basically showing how Real are he'll bent on it to retain their status as the worlds glamour club. They are the biggest shithouse club ever, I despise them. No idea why any neutral would have time for them.
    We all hate Utd but they're a different class to those shitcunts.
    That Agnelli at Juve is a full on Fredo Corleone. Didn't realise UEFA president Caeferin is his best pal. Turned his phone off when super league news came out last year.

    I found the Ferran Torress transfer too be weird. Man-city bought him for an original fee of 25 million rising to 40 or something along those lines. Yet sold him to Barc for 50 million?

    No mention of Real Madrid being subsidised by the Spanish government, mind. Or is that just hearsay?

    Never mentioned that. Just said that it was the transfer of Neymar and Mbappe that completely changed everything. From that point on Real and Barca were fucked, not making enough money to compete with PSG,City,Utd and Chelsea and it just proved that the oil clubs could basically do what they wanted.

    The super league idea was fitted by Berlosconi over 30 years ago but it got bombed out and then UEFA changed the European Cup to the champions league in 92.

    What's the hold up? Look at the top earning clubs list and you must surely understand, with their limited profile compared to the top clubs on the list and never having won a Champions League in their history, let alone several, but for incredible creative accounting City cannot possibly be top of that list or anywhere near it

    Contact Der Speigel and get copies of all the relevant evidence and deduct them points retrospectively in all seasons they have been breaking FFP rules, stripping them of any prizes they accumulated through doing so

    And while you're at get the police involved in looking for payments to Mike Riley, Tierney, Kavanagh and any others who seem very obviously involved in deliberate attempts at match fixing that only benefit City and look for any offshore money there
