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

Built from the ground up, with nothing more than just a few billion pounds investment

And still £32m less than Bayern Munich who don’t enjoy the big fat broadcasting revenue like PL clubs do while City won treble. One must marvel at Bayern Munich operations and also wonder when state owned clubs can’t catch big clubs revenues after fudging sponsorship deals and other things what do normal clubs do to have a chance. Big clubs are too big and they keep becoming bigger and bigger.

I see what you're trying to say but this is definitely not the thread for this discussion. When you bring it up here it just looks apologetic to City.

Why don't all lower table clubs just follow the City model? Are they stupid?

Biggest underdog story in the world of football. All the money is obviously real and accounted for.

Check the LinkedIn profiles of these odd sponsorship companies City gets its money from.

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

Add this to the 115 reasons we already know that this club is a cheating and illegitimate state run machine with no morals. How they can continually be allowed to get away with this and face no punishment while playing with 2 first XIs with a completely empty stadium and no fans I don't know. Someone at the Premier League needs to wake up. Has anyone ever actually seen someone wearing a City shirt in public? You'd think they'd want to keep a low profile right after paying off the referees in the Liverpool Vs Spurs game. Shameless

People of city of Manchester are known for their great work ethic, good manners and humbleness. They have two great football clubs in their city, Manchester United and Manchester City. While the first one were successful for a long time same could not be said about the second one. Before the current ownership came MC had many ups and downs, however now with the establishment of City Football Group Man City are the best football club in the world. This is because Sheikh Mansour’s great vision, hard work, wisdom and business acumen. Now people of Manchester, those who support City can hold their heads high and have a sense of pride and accomplishment for their beloved football club.

ChatGPT doesn't know that United is based in Trafford instead of the city of Manchester?

and all it took was just billions of ”””sponsor””” money, truly the underdogs of modern football.

The world's most valuable footballing brand, a club which cannot sell out its stadium. All its very real perfectly legitimate sponsors. Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

[–] leebrother@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Can we charge them yet

[–] telcomet@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Something is really fishy here … those pies and pints can’t be £8 each

[–] aguer0@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Right? They've written this like the club is based in London

A true underdog tale 😂

[–] telcomet@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

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