Massive

Feeling a little jaded today.  You really can't beat injury time winners against little city.....

But how little are they? Here's a snippet (from the accounts to 31st May 2009 City slipped out on 13th January and the recent United accounts to 30th June 2009):

Turnover	City	United
Matchday	£15.4m	£108.8m
Media	£48.3m	£99.7m
Commercial	£28.3m	£69.9m
Total	£87.0m	£278.5m

EBITDA	City	United
2008/09	-£30.7m	£91.3m

Obviously the 40% cumulative ticket price rises at United since 2005 make that £109m number possible, but ask yourself this:

a) Isn't Michel Platini right?  Isn't the financial tragedy of football both United style debt but also the fantasy world of £31m+ annual losses funded by rich men who feel nothing for their club toys?


but more importantly....


b) Aren't City a MASSIVE club?
