    Tax exile billionaire minority shareholders wants the public purse to foot the bill of a new stadium, he can get to fk, Glazers staying 10 more years cos the cow can still be milked.

    Whilst the Glazers have been taking £100s of millions in dividends and investing nothing in the fan experience, Manchester has turned blue, City Sports Group don't even own the Etihad, 200+ year lease from the local council yet are spending £250 million on a new stand, hotel and fan park, next to the largest indoor arena in Europe.

    A 200+ yrs lease puts it into perspective. £250M Is peanuts in real terms.

    Copied
    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.15 Nov 2023

    Get your point re Man utd. The Glazers are not exactly well liked by the fanbase.

    They lease it at a pretty large cost though. Approximately £100k a week it costs them to lease the stadium.
