Presumably whether we get CL or not will make a big difference given there's a sizeable uplift in CL revenue for next season.
It helps when you can sponsor yourself from a pot of oil money. But then that would be cheating.Revenue still some way behind these two though, have to raise prices even further to catch up
Manchester City post Premier League record revenue of £712.8m. Manchester City have announced record-breaking revenue for the 2022-23 financial year. The club confirmed income of £712.8m, outstripping the Premier League record £648.4m reported by Manchester United last month
You’re right. Romero was included in the last financial year. 300m of buys in that time. Don’t say we don’t spend money.Doesn’t the article on the official site suggest that the Maddison and Vicario purchases are included? It says they came at the end of this period while the others will be included in the next accounts.
Can someone explain what all that means in basic terms?
Basically ignoring transfer activities and accounting expenses we made 140 million more than we spent.
Then you have stuff like depreciation (estimate of how much value our assets like stadium and facilities lost), amortization (basically expensing transfers over the lifetime of the contract), then net gains/losses on sold players (basically the difference between their amortized value and how much we got paid), and taxes.
But really amortization doesn't tell you that much because players' values change substantially from what they were initially signed for, plus we've already spent the money so the expense is being reported in a different period than the actual cash flow.
So I would say looks pretty good. If we're generating 140 million more than we're spending each year that should mean a decent net transfer budget
The problem for all PL clubs is shifting players. No one else can afford the wages. If the Saudis come back into play we might let Richy go for a decent fee. We have the usual suspects to move in the summer. Might have to take a hit on some but it’s better to move them on if possible.we have also trimmed the wage bill a lot, loosing dier, Loris, Kane, Persic they are a a lot of our big earners.
The accounts state that the balance sheet events taking place after the period of these accounts was a net cost of £109m.Not sure on the last part - since this year's numbers will include £100m+ profit on the Kane deal alone.
I expect we will be fairly aggressive - within reason.
I doubt Richy will accept a move to Saudi.The problem for all PL clubs is shifting players. No one else can afford the wages. If the Saudis come back into play we might let Richy go for a decent fee.

Rodon, Pierre and Lo Celso are decent players and should fetch decent fees, but not the 30m that some people quote. I think they will trigger the one year extension for Sess. They won’t just bin him because of the injuries. Try to get him on loan to a club
The hotel and housing will require reasonable capital.Also now confirmed that the board are actively looking for external investment. Which to me indicates that Levy and co are not going anywhere and potentially looking to invest heavily in the squad.
I can't think of any other capital projects that would require investment
The hotel for one, due to be 30 stories and up and running well before the 2026 WC.I can't think of any other capital projects that would require investment
