Earnings are up by £38m, which is a 44% increase from last year, wages are up 60%. That's a pretty extreme rise on both parts, and yes the wages are unsustainable - unless City qualify for the Champions League, which doesn't look horribly unlikely this season (though I think the owners would have preferred managing to do it last season). This season all 35,000 season tickets have sold for the first time since moving to the City of Manchster Stadium, matchday attendance is currently an average of another 10,000-12,000 on top of that, it's not hopelessly bad. Spending on the same level as the last couple of seasons is unlikely, and with added income from the Champions League (which will happen in the near future, even if not this season) combined with an inevitable increase in support (in the same way that Chelsea's support has increased) the wage bill is large, but it could soon be sustainable.

Surely Pompey fans can support Havant & Waterlooville until AFC Pompey or whatever gets formed?

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/Video/Features/New-Academy-overview Obviously its club propaganda, so take it with as much of a pinch of salt as you like, but this video outlines part of why the Etihad deal isn't anywhere near just a stadium naming rights deal and why it probably won't fall foul of the UEFA rules. If you've ever been to this part of East Manchester you'll know just how run down it is and how much of a difference the jobs and particularly the 6th Form College could make to the local community. On the other hand it's certainly sad to be eventually severing the last remaining link to Rusholme/Moss Side when this new Academy site takes over from Platt Lane, but it makes logistical sense to have everything on more or less the same site rather than spread between East Manchester, Moss Side and Carrington as it is now.

Honestly I wasn't really following the thread but thought it would be the appropriate place to post the post I posted.

Ninpo posted:Yeah discrepancies in United's TV money from say, Arsenal's or Chelsea's is explained with funds from CL matches, FA Cup matches and League Cup matches. ITV pay more than Sky per match but don't get as many matches. League success is a factor as well, I believe Sky dynamically chose what to air during the season (see matches being rescheduled mid season as a result of this) depending on how important matches are. Are one of the teams a title rival, relegation candidate, etc. Isn't there also some factor of bigger teams not having as many Saturday 3pm games? They're not permitted to be broadcast live in the UK (for those not in the know) so if you rarely get to be on SKY SUPER SUNDAY you're not going to get as much broadcast cash as the top clubs. Or is the UK Premier League broadcast money divided completely evenly and I'm barking up the wrong tree?

The real comedy in that graph is the Italian teams' matchday revenue, of course
