Like the time Wales sent the Millennium Stadium wild when qualifying for the Euro's despite not playing there for a decade. Or the time Wigan Athletic won the World Cup. Top bantz.
The Glazers thought that they could live off the history of winning that manchester united had, so as long as the team was just good enough to compete for top 4 and just sign big names, that would be enough to keep people around the world buying united products. But, City's shown us now what most of us already knew - people are attracted to WINNING. If united don't sort out their culture, their transfer decisions and their way of playing, as magnificent the history of manchester united is, the gloss will die down and give way to the clubs that are winning.
Exactly, the biggest markets aren’t Manchester or in the UK but rather across the world where people don’t get all the matches but do get the big matches, if you’re in the big matches your revenues automatically go up as kids in Africa and Asia buy your products

@@ShayHezarkhani venture capitalists try to increase value before selling out by investing time, money and energy into a venture. Glazers are basically just leeches who want to extract maximum value by investing the least amount, ignoring long term success
When you have gone through the likes of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, and soon Ralf Rangnick through the tenure of Ed Woodward… Think the managers might not be the problem.
So....... we're not gonna talk about the fact that most of City's commercial deals come from firms that are based in the same country as their owners? I'm sure it's a total coincidence, just like when Newcastle inevitably get Aramco on the front of their shirts
So? That's because the owners want to promote themselves, what's wrong with that? Are you really gonna act like city won't be able to get any other sponsorship deals if etihad stops sponsoring them?
@@kushagrajain6644 Man City weren't able to get sponsorships of high value when the owners took over. That's why they sponsored themselves so they could financially dope without consequence. This isn't rocket science.
LVG once said that the people running United think the club is too big to fail. Woodward's comment saying "playing performance doesn't really have a meaningful impact..." Is evidence of that. The proof is the pudding and the club is reaping what Woodward, the Glazers & co have sown. It's a slow but continuous downward trend for the club.
Compare Chelsea and united both got new owners around the same time, glazers benefited from a winning team and Ferguson but after 2010 began a slow decline, Chelsea were an average team who have been getting better each season until 2022
One owner pumped money into the club to help it achieve its goals, the other drained as much money from the club as possible, with zero care shown for what the clubs goals were.
Liverpool fan here: its not a fair comparison considering city has sponsors who would pay as much as city wants and won't ask for cuts or anything else
City's etihad deal is worth around as much as United's shirt deal if I recall correctly. They were overpriced at the beginning but now they're worth that much
Thats simply not true and nothing but slandorous. If it was true FFP would pick it up and the deal wouldn't be allowed. Simply put sponsors have to be fair and cannot be above a fair value of the club. The Etihad deal has been looked into by people in the past and found to be fair and in fact that was when city were initially taken over I would argue the fact City could ask much more now with the successes they have had as they don't make no way near as much money from Etihad as utd do from their sponsor deals.
@@vherostar so you are telling me if city group wouldn't have bought man city they would still have Etihad as sponsors with the same amount of initial money? And they would have sponsored stadium, kit, training kit, training center?
Anyone else think a video tracking each teams performance through a season from certain ‘exciting’ years in the premier league era would be cool? We could possibly see which ‘underdog’ teams had incredible seasons and vise versa.
we're not winning anything whilst the glazers are here. problem is that our fanbase is so divided and disjointed that we can never keep the pressure on them for longer than a couple of weeks. if we'd kept the pressure up on them after the ESL shitshow then we might have been able to force them out. but we didn't we went back to be divided and childish.
On field performance does, and will eventually affect revenue as we are seeing now. Getting Ronaldo back may have boosted merch sales a bit, but since then, they're knocked out of the CL, they're out of P4 in the PL and will be out of the CL next year. Europa revenue can't be all that high anyway.
They will have caught up if there's no gap when removing the family money, like dodgy sponsorship deals. The fact they have the highest stadium naming rights deal in the world, while not even being able to fill said stadium says it all.
Why would you make a video about the ‘commercial success’ of Man City ? Are we also going to get a video next year of how Newcastle became a powerhouse through their ‘shrewd financial operations’ and ‘marketing’ ?
Bottomline : The world loves winners , as long as they win If they dont , they skip on to the next winner in line It is how it is , and the sooner teams like United and Arsenal understand , especially their owners , the better
It's so glaringly obvious as well. Can you seriously tell me they make more from fans than united and Liverpool? Their sponsors are shell companies owned by their owners or affiliates. Some companies that sponsor them don't even have permanent staff or turnover anywhere near they're deal value, confirmed on companies house.
If that was true FFP would shut it down but UEFA feel the deal is fair in fact they did so long before MCFC got to a final of a champions league and won so many PL trophies the only ppl who think its "doping" are rival fans and its slandor to say it is and shows nothing but jealousy. City are more than self sustained now. True they were not for the first few years of the club and the owner helped them get on their feet. But they make more than utd thanks to lower wages and tv revenue, not just from sponsors like Etihad (which they make less from than utds deals btw). Your also saying UEFA and the FA dope city aswell right? As most of citys money comes from them which they use to pay wages and buy players from winning and getting far in the champions league. Its takes seconds to make up lies and be slandorous. It takes minutes to learn the truth.
@@vherostar Man City actually got caught by UEFA for financial doping. The report is online. They didn’t get suspended from the Champions League because the statute of limitations had passed (I think five years). I am not jealous of Man City 😅. But I do get some satisfaction seeing PSG and City spend so much and not win the UCL
I’m worried if they are becoming sell outs to corporations because corporations doesn’t care about a sport’s team history.

This is why I don’t get that upset at city for buying championships. If we’re gonna be honest a club like Manchester United only has this much success because they earn the most money throughout the history of English football
1 Europa League, 1 FA Cup and 1 League Cup over the course of nine years while not once being able to seriously challenge for the Premier League title in 9 years is pretty disappointing for a club that won one PL title after the next under Ferguson.
United has a horrible track record in Europe and still makes more money n every one else. -2018: Eliminated from the UCL in the last 16 against Sevilla. -2019:Eliminated from the UCL in the last 8 against Barcelona. -2020: Eliminated from the Europa League in the SM against Sevilla(again). -2021: Lost the Europa League final against Villarreal (a town of just 50k people) -2022: Eliminated from the UCL in the last 16 against Atletico Madrid.
They caught up because of dodgy sponsorship deals from the middle east, with value far above the market rate, which artifically inflates their revenue numbers to avoid FFP restrictions.
I don't want to make any salty claim about this situation but City's a lot of "good sponsorship" money come from their owners :) By the time when they first sign that sponsorship it make a lot of fuzz about the money and the value. I like City but that's the fact :) Good video as always
Why is Tifo presenting City’s financial growth completely uncritically? Now Chelsea and Abramovich are finally facing some consequence it would be nice to see even a hint that City are built on the same process of sport washing instead of doing the job for them.
@@stevenlannister184 I understand not wanting to bring it up when discussing on the pitch stuff and I know a lot of analysts don’t care but this is a finance video. It’s just lying to their followers.
The glazers ruined this club root and stem they've been an absolute cancer, they took something great and ground it into dirt. May I just say thank you Glazers I think you're amazing and you will always have a special place in my heart
This is great, but are we really going to treat City’s Etihad sponsorships as anything other than the owners pumping cash into the club? It’s their way of giving FFP the finger and daring FIFA to act. We saw City make a mockery out of FFP. I’m genuinely surprised that Tifo totally ignored that major point of context.
Dont know about the last part but one dodgy sponsorship deal doesnt give a mid table side the money to compete for trophies. It got them into the converdation, then great structure, management and innfrastructure does the rest. FFP just controls the speed, not the volume of investment that comes into a club. The only difference between newcastle and city is newcastles rise will be a bit slower.
Failing to mention the dodgy nature of Cities sponsors is a huge oversight in this video. Etihad Airways are less a sponsor for City than a vehicle for the club owners to funnel money into the club while getting around FFP. Putting it down to "success on the pitch" is paramount to complicity in the soft power campaign of the Abu Dhabi owners.
Exactly! They basically self sponsors themselves. Atleast chelsea with Roman had proper revenue and sponsors. Almost 80% of Man City sponsors are from Abu Dhabi.
Tifo are too visible, these days, to have the bottle to remind a million subscribers that City are guilty of fraud. Maybe five years ago they'd have talked about the fact they invented sponsorship and were never cleared of it, but these days they're far too worried about being sued to even mention it in a video like this. Besides, ABU clickbait is what sells. Let's not pretend this video is anything more than that. Perhaps ironic, given the subject of the video.
@@aditya.sagraha Yeah, Tifo used to be really good for that stuff. I think their report on PSG was what brought me to the channel, several years ago. I'm not saying they're corrupt, themselves, these days, but this video is so incredibly soft and takes such painful steps to avoid the elephant in the room, it might as well be a piece of hand-written propaganda for the City Group. I guess there's no chance we'll ever see the hard-hitting, investigative journalism again, that made Tifo so popular in the first place. Let's be honest, though, they've been making ever more click-baity stuff for years, now. I guess you can chase money or the truth, not both.
@@suchitapage4725 yeah, that's it. You do realise Abu Dhabi is an absolute monarchy and the Royal family, which also owns City, owns literally everything there, right? It's 100% state owned.
I've always attributed Manchester United's success down to their speed in maximising the Premier League's commercial appeal. They aren't magic like their fans believe.
TIFO team , pls do a episode about Saudi owners. They already bought Newcarstle Utd, now they want Chelsea too. What are regulations about same owner owning 2 fc in Premier League ? Pls enlighten me
nothing to enlighten. They can't own two clubs in the same competition. Don't Red Bull have a similar conundrum if Leipzig and Salzberg were to meet in European competition? However, your question about could the same people own both Newcastle and Chelsea? It's a flat no. You could have different Saudi people owning the two clubs mind you, as long as it was shown they were different owners
the party showing interest aren't the same ones that own Newcastle, so there's not gonna be problematic. But I bet the Newcastle owners are thinking they should've waited a bit
again, i can never blame the Glazers because they can spend for the teams it was the management, how Sir Alex left, and coincidentally along with David Gill you see, all of it came down for the next one, and they`re all came unprepared (untill now)
Ed Woodward and the Glazers really screwed up by claiming on pitch failures don't mean losing money. City and Chelsea build a squad to win silverware while we stagnated became Arsenal during Wenger's reign between 2008 and 2018.
As a united fan couldn’t care less about this. This is all the glazers care about so I’m glad that the “brand” is taking a hit, the fans even contributed to this by calling off the Liverpool game last season
The problem with the Glazers is that they treat the PL like NFL. They don’t realize that if you don’t win, you get punished and will start losing money whereas the NFL doesn’t have that risk since it has no threat of relegation to a lower division. Man City will be the nosy neighbors now but At the current state Man Utd will keep living in the past whereas Man City will keep winning trophies.
So basically this is saying if United don’t get back to winning ways within the next decade, they’ll end up in a 2010 Liverpool situation where they can fold and declare bankruptcy due to partial lack of on pitch success and dodgy ownership? Sponsors could leave and United’s historical relevancy will eventually dry up to the point where sponsors want to see on field results and silverware.
This feels a bit disingenuous. We know for a fact that city have invented their sponsorship income to match their market spending, then avoided prosecution by UEFA after appeal on a technicality. I feel, as football fans, we need to remember when people have shown themselves to be willing to commit fraud, and to not legitimise them in retrospect, simply because we forgot what happened.
What SAF did on those last years of his, with the lack of backing by the Glazers, im glad nobody can replicate, the Glazers dont deserve to be rewarded for their decadence
Can’t stand either club but you can’t really compete them. City is owned by a whole country and the financial realities faced by normal billionaires doesn’t impact them
I don't understand how United had so much more revenue in 1992. Like why were they turning over so much, it's not like they'd had a decade of dominance
we all know this is heavily juiced by endorsement deals from parties related to the owner, would have preferred you give that a mention, folks get away with stuff when people who know better refuse to talk, their numbers a sham
Tifo knew that united had no chance to qualify into quater-finals in ucl, so they waited for the match to take place in order to post this video the next day. Smart af
In 20/30 years city will be the biggest club in England and I find that disgusting lol. This ain’t the English prem anymore it’s the global football league.
The fact Woodward stated on field performance doesn't affect revenue tells you everything you need to know about the current state of play at man utd.
Unbelievable isn’t it imagine David Gill hearing that!!
Yup😔
Shows how deluded and short sighted he is, it's literally the only thing that will sustain long term money.
Maybe they brought back Ronaldo for boosting this commercial earning

@@stevenlannister184 I understand not wanting to bring it up when discussing on the pitch stuff and I know a lot of analysts don’t care but this is a finance video. It’s just lying to their followers.
"To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin-" is not a good opening line for any video.
The glazers ruined this club root and stem they've been an absolute cancer, they took something great and ground it into dirt. May I just say thank you Glazers I think you're amazing and you will always have a special place in my heart

@natsudama4604 how many is it now or don't you know?
This is great, but are we really going to treat City’s Etihad sponsorships as anything other than the owners pumping cash into the club? It’s their way of giving FFP the finger and daring FIFA to act. We saw City make a mockery out of FFP. I’m genuinely surprised that Tifo totally ignored that major point of context.
Dont know about the last part but one dodgy sponsorship deal doesnt give a mid table side the money to compete for trophies. It got them into the converdation, then great structure, management and innfrastructure does the rest. FFP just controls the speed, not the volume of investment that comes into a club. The only difference between newcastle and city is newcastles rise will be a bit slower.
`Playing performance doesn't really have a meaningful impact on what we can do on the commercial side of the business.'
It is down spiral from now!
We need any story about the gunners Arsenal
Hi! Not an english speaker here. Is dynasty pronounced "d-i-nasty" or "d-ee-nasty"? Thanks
I think it depends based where you are from because in America we say d-i-nasty
Failing to mention the dodgy nature of Cities sponsors is a huge oversight in this video. Etihad Airways are less a sponsor for City than a vehicle for the club owners to funnel money into the club while getting around FFP. Putting it down to "success on the pitch" is paramount to complicity in the soft power campaign of the Abu Dhabi owners.
Exactly! They basically self sponsors themselves. Atleast chelsea with Roman had proper revenue and sponsors. Almost 80% of Man City sponsors are from Abu Dhabi.
Tifo are too visible, these days, to have the bottle to remind a million subscribers that City are guilty of fraud.
Maybe five years ago they'd have talked about the fact they invented sponsorship and were never cleared of it, but these days they're far too worried about being sued to even mention it in a video like this.
Besides, ABU clickbait is what sells. Let's not pretend this video is anything more than that. Perhaps ironic, given the subject of the video.
Does anyone genuinely care about it tho? It's not like the Premier League is meant to be this fan run collective..
They did make a video regarding the "controversial Etihad deal" a few years ago
@@aditya.sagraha Yeah, Tifo used to be really good for that stuff. I think their report on PSG was what brought me to the channel, several years ago.
I'm not saying they're corrupt, themselves, these days, but this video is so incredibly soft and takes such painful steps to avoid the elephant in the room, it might as well be a piece of hand-written propaganda for the City Group. I guess there's no chance we'll ever see the hard-hitting, investigative journalism again, that made Tifo so popular in the first place.
Let's be honest, though, they've been making ever more click-baity stuff for years, now. I guess you can chase money or the truth, not both.
Not surprised to be fair
This right here sums up what's going on in Manchester
Glazers out! Now!
City have "caught up"... mostly thanks to some extremely "generous" sponsorship* contracts from entities that totally aren't funded by Abu Dhabi.
Exactly
Their owner is from Abu dhabi.
So ofcourse, most of the deals would come from their regional or local sponsors.
@@suchitapage4725 yeah, that's it. You do realise Abu Dhabi is an absolute monarchy and the Royal family, which also owns City, owns literally everything there, right? It's 100% state owned.
City have only caught up because of their inflated sponsorship deals
cry
@@Stardog-w2c about what?
I've always attributed Manchester United's success down to their speed in maximising the Premier League's commercial appeal. They aren't magic like their fans believe.
TIFO team , pls do a episode about Saudi owners.
They already bought Newcarstle Utd, now they want Chelsea too.
What are regulations about same owner owning 2 fc in Premier League ?
Pls enlighten me
nothing to enlighten. They can't own two clubs in the same competition. Don't Red Bull have a similar conundrum if Leipzig and Salzberg were to meet in European competition? However, your question about could the same people own both Newcastle and Chelsea? It's a flat no. You could have different Saudi people owning the two clubs mind you, as long as it was shown they were different owners
the party showing interest aren't the same ones that own Newcastle, so there's not gonna be problematic. But I bet the Newcastle owners are thinking they should've waited a bit
again, i can never blame the Glazers because they can spend for the teams
it was the management, how Sir Alex left, and coincidentally along with David Gill
you see, all of it came down for the next one, and they`re all came unprepared (untill now)
Can never blame the Glazer’s? It’s literally 99.5% their fault that United is where they are now.
easy to generate revenue when you can sign inflated sponsorship deals with companies from the UAE that are directly connected to your owners
Ed Woodward and the Glazers really screwed up by claiming on pitch failures don't mean losing money. City and Chelsea build a squad to win silverware while we stagnated became Arsenal during Wenger's reign between 2008 and 2018.
Except wenger still won fa cups lol
As a united fan couldn’t care less about this. This is all the glazers care about so I’m glad that the “brand” is taking a hit, the fans even contributed to this by calling off the Liverpool game last season
_Citeh_ are essentially funded by a sovereign state. Not really an apples-to-apples comparison....
The problem with the Glazers is that they treat the PL like NFL. They don’t realize that if you don’t win, you get punished and will start losing money whereas the NFL doesn’t have that risk since it has no threat of relegation to a lower division. Man City will be the nosy neighbors now but At the current state Man Utd will keep living in the past whereas Man City will keep winning trophies.
So basically this is saying if United don’t get back to winning ways within the next decade, they’ll end up in a 2010 Liverpool situation where they can fold and declare bankruptcy due to partial lack of on pitch success and dodgy ownership? Sponsors could leave and United’s historical relevancy will eventually dry up to the point where sponsors want to see on field results and silverware.
Idk if this is a hot take or not but without Sir Alex, I honestly think United would've faded out be another Nottingham Forest.
You know it’s a hot take when you get 0 replies
I call him Pops Guediora
This feels a bit disingenuous.
We know for a fact that city have invented their sponsorship income to match their market spending, then avoided prosecution by UEFA after appeal on a technicality.
I feel, as football fans, we need to remember when people have shown themselves to be willing to commit fraud, and to not legitimise them in retrospect, simply because we forgot what happened.
What SAF did on those last years of his, with the lack of backing by the Glazers, im glad nobody can replicate, the Glazers dont deserve to be rewarded for their decadence
I love leveraged buy outs 😍

City's are state sponsored. All the companies sponsoring City are from that state. All vastly overvaluing that sponsorship
Pretty sure Liverpool won the title without having a top 3 wages bill. United, City and Chelsea have a higher wage bill I think
Can’t stand either club but you can’t really compete them. City is owned by a whole country and the financial realities faced by normal billionaires doesn’t impact them
In short Man United ain't coming out of this misery anytime soon
I like the thumbnail despite being random
I don't understand how United had so much more revenue in 1992. Like why were they turning over so much, it's not like they'd had a decade of dominance
Tifo massive error!! City won their first in 2011/12.. Utd won it in 2012/13 in SAF last season
Manchester United are an also-ran team now. The only thing keeping us afloat was SAF, and now that he's long gone, we're screwed.
This thumbnail is beautiful
Correction: City won in the 11/12 season. 12/13 was the FA's and PGMOL's retirement gift to Fergiscum.
Increase in income or cooking the books, I think it's the latter.
we all know this is heavily juiced by endorsement deals from parties related to the owner, would have preferred you give that a mention, folks get away with stuff when people who know better refuse to talk, their numbers a sham
Tifo knew that united had no chance to qualify into quater-finals in ucl, so they waited for the match to take place in order to post this video the next day. Smart af
ty
If anything this is Woodward's legacy in it's entirety
In 20/30 years city will be the biggest club in England and I find that disgusting lol. This ain’t the English prem anymore it’s the global football league.
@@chriswolf1089 not at this rate mate, city are growing massively. Every new football fan is choosing them or pool
man city's oil money have finally caught up to man utd's american corporate money
