So I've been doing some digging around and come up with this figure:

£2.089,950,000

That figure does not include player wage bills from may '17, nor does it include any summer 2017 transfers. It comes from player trading and annual wage bills - 2008 until 2016. 8 years or, £261.243,750 per annum.

That figure does not include the £200.000,000 training centre, nor manager / staff wages / compensation. It also doesn't include the pikey rent of their stadium (approx. £4.500,000 p/a - Here is the transcript from Manchester City Council outlining the club's annual stadium costs '15)

Manchester City's stadium capacity is 55,097. Everton's is 40,157.

You format digits strangely.
 
So back in 2014, the City Football Group purchased Melbourne Heart and renamed them Melbourne City.

They signed Aaron Mooy from them in 2016 on a free transfer and now they've just sold him for £10,000,000.

Modern day football.

Ake + him for a combined £30m. Between the two of them just 2 league starts!!!

Chelsea and Citeh stock piling strategy now paying off creating big bucks. I thought Bentaleb was big money at £16-£20m but consider that he had 46 first team games under his belt makes him look a bargain.

One of several dangers here is this approach just distorts the market place, a market place set buy these two bastard whore clubs.

The only thing they may have done is push up Walkers value by another 50%.
 
There is no end to it............

They should say Abu Dhabi agree a deal to add Girona to their growing number of state sponsored clubs.
It's diabolical.
The next thing they'll have the best training facility & academy in Spain, a new stadium, a shirt and club sponsorship deal with eithad on par with the best in la liga offering 100k a week wages.
 
I think in the very near future all decent European football clubs will be owned by Russians, Chinese and Arabs.
The US a small part.
Maybe only Germany will remain untouched.
 
They have to make sure Girona don't qualify for the CL.
or even the EL. What if they make it and into KO stages and City drop into it?
ENIC were the precedent with AEK Slavia Prague

Doubt they care.

They said they'd do the same with Leipzig and Salzburg didn't they? Both are allowed in the CL this season.

at that time though, if you wanted more than 10% of the shares, you could only hold an interest in one club. when they bought us, ENIC had to dispose of their interests in other clubs. Now, Citeh's owners can own clubs anywhere they fancy, apart from, it would seem, in the same country. so far, anyway. i can see city being the first to have an unofficial B team in this country

That was only within UEFA with ENIC - I think this is the first time City's owners have had two clubs that could play each other in competitive matches.

If FIFA wants to stop such practices, they should ban the loan system (and even the use of buyback clauses). A club's players should either play for the club or wait on the bench. If City of Chelsea could not send players out on loan, they would stop stockpiling them.

Apparently Salzburg are no longer owned by Dietrich and RB employees have left positions. RB are effectively now just a sponsor. UEFA have swallowed that
Same way Chelsea say they don't have any stake in the ownership of Arnhem.
Proxy owners/shareholders. Then again unlike Man City they never declared their joint ownership.
So, Eithad and ABu Dhabi can just become 'sponsors'.
I also wonder if we will see the Pozzo family having the same issues.

That's the thing. Usminov has basically thrown his financial backing into Everton whilst owning 30% of Woolwich.
As far as I know you can't have a stake of more than 10% of more than one PL club.
This still does not stop you appointing a business partner and using your money to buy a controlling share percentage or using the company you share to sponsor another club even if you own an 'interest ' in a PL club .
It's all too cosy and needs to be investigated.
 
justified and ancient, all bound for Mu Mu Land....

fans of other clubs and the media forget... from 2008-2017 City must have generated over 2.5 billion from TV/Sponsorship deals/prize money /ticket sales

In Abu Dhabi, who in the current Gulf political climate will be furious about being outsmarted by the Quataris. It will be interesting what kind of statement move our owners sanction.

"Fuck the £50m. We should start buying up all the building materials in London and bring the WHL building site to a close until they sell us Walker at a reasonable price."

Do that and your tiny oil funded club will have even less money than before the takeover :dembelelol:
