Palmer signed for £6,000, Sancho £80M

According to consultants at KPMG (as reported in the Financial Times) City recorded operating revenues of €644m in the 2020/21 season, up 17 per cent year on year. The figure covers broadcast, matchday and commercial income. City declined to comment on the report.

Winning the Premier League title and reaching the final of the Champions League helped City to avoid the financial impacts many Premier League clubs felt during the pandemic.

Meanwhile, Manchester United took home €557m last season, the first time they have fallen behind City in this regard.

Our view: After largely bettering United on the pitch over the last 10 years, it's no surprise that City have now overtaken them off it too.

Commercial deals of course account for a large chunk of City's revenue, but so does on-field success - the run to the Champions League final brought in €129.5m from UEFA.

This is just the latest indicator that City are no longer just 'noisy neighbours'. Oh, and what was the point of commercial and football genius Ed Woodward, exactly?

You forgot "and covers free handouts of large wedges of oil money from friends and family that make no commercial sense whatsoever and are just a way of cheating FFP".

Can't imagine why.

There are five days remaining of the January transfer window for Manchester City to complete any business.

City are working on a deal for Argentine prospect Julian Alvarez, who has also been linked with Manchester United, which would see him link up with his new team-mates in the summer.

Elsewhere, Erling Haaland has been discussing his future ahead of what is expected to be one of the fiercest transfer battles in recent years as the Borussia Dortmund star becomes available for around £65million thanks to a release clause.


City are expected to be firmly in the race for one of the world's top talents as they look to replace Sergio Aguero a year on from the legendary striker's exit.

I'm not surprised supporting your shower of shite!

The Football Association has sought observations from Wayne Rooney in relation to comments by the Derby County manager in a recent interview.

Rooney said he changed his studs to "long metal ones" when playing for Manchester United at Chelsea in 2006 as he "wanted to try and hurt someone".

United were beaten 3-0 and Chelsea won the Premier League that season.

"We knew if Chelsea won then they had won the league that day," said 36-year-old Rooney.

"Until my last game for Derby, I always wore the old plastic studs with the metal tip.

"For that game I changed them to big, long metal ones - the maximum length you could have because I wanted to try and hurt someone, try and injure someone.

"I knew they were going to win that game. You could feel they were a better team at the time so I changed my studs.

"The studs were legal but thinking if there's a challenge there I knew I'd want to go in for it properly, basically. I did actually.

"John Terry left the stadium on crutches. I left a hole in his foot and then I signed my shirt to him after the game... and a few weeks later I sent it to him and asked for my stud back.

"If you look back when they were celebrating, JT's got his crutches from that tackle."

In 2002, ex-Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane was banned and fined by the FA after a claim in his autobiography that he deliberately set out to hurt Manchester City midfielder Alf Inge Haaland in a game in April 2001.

Rooney joined United from Everton and, after returning for a second spell at the Goodison Park club, also played for DC United and Derby County before taking over as manager of the Rams in November 2020.

He is also England's all-time record goalscorer, having found the net 53 times for his country.

Responding to Rooney's comments, Terry posted a message on social media with a number of laughing emojis and said: "Is this when you left your stud in my foot?"

Dirty Red rag wankers, no class!
