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

      I’m guessing they signed a multi-year sponsorship and are contractually obligated to see it through

      It’s okay, there will be no lay offs as they didn’t actually have any staff. Their purpose was to sponsor Man CIty and they achieved that already

        Hey. I just wanted you to know that you can’t just say the word “bankruptcy” and expect anything to happen

      Didn’t WeWork valued at 40B+ at one point?
      This sounds like when some 14-year-old tried to make Asahi a no-name company when City signed a deal with them.

    Yeah, ignore the fact that City won the Treble, and all the revenue that’ll bring in, especially this day in age… must be fake.

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

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

      But it was fine in the 70’s and 80’s when Liverpool were the richest team in England due to their owner.

        It’s hilarious seeing it. I hate city dominating but the are literally doing what United have done for 20 years under Sir Alex… Buy the best players and dominate the league.

          difference is neither club had a unethical, backwards state backing them for non sporting reasons

          And Liverpool before that, Chelsea after it, and so on and so forth.

          Shankly might have picked the players back in the 60’s but it was Eric Sawyer who arranged all the financing. In other words, they needed money to build the team and sign the best players.

          Go back far enough and once the wage cap was lifted every team used money to buy success. Some also tried and failed.

          Also in Liverpool (the city)back in the day the biggest team were 100% Everton. Once Liverpool became successful (under Shankly)those percentages began to change. In other words, there were plastic success chasing glory hunters even back in those days.

          No one will ever admit this though.

          I think people are more angry about where the money comes from (which wasn’t an issue when Liverpool and United dominated respectively) and the fact that regardless of spending a lot of money, there is growing evidence that City have been ignoring the existing financial rules for years anyway

            Again, you’re not wrong. Where the money comes from is a valid, but in my opinion, separate argument from the money ruins football thing. As for the breaches, I agree, the rules may have been brought in by the current elite to limit competition or you may disagree with that. It’s irrelevant if the rules were in place and broken there should be punishments.

    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.

      I know this is a copypasta but this bit is comical. Very few places in the UK that huff their own farts as much as the mancs.
