What's their wage bill? Any reliable data?

 

Manchester City made a financial loss of £121m in the 12 months to 31 May 2010, the first full year of ownership by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the club will announce today. Their income of £125m was entirely eclipsed by the wage bill which, for all staff, rose to £133m, up from £83m. That meant the club spent £8m more than their entire turnover on wages alone.

 

The result of Mansour's investment, now up to £500m in all of City's operations – most spectacularly by signing a squad of international players, several on wages of more than £100,000 a week – is the second biggest financial loss in the Premier League's history. The highest was that of Chelsea, who lost £141m in 2004-0

The blog Swissramble.blogspot.com pulls them together. As said above, 133M in 2009/10 (107% of turnover). By way of comparison, Man U's was 132M (46%), Arsenal's 111M (50%) and Spurs' 67M (56%). Remember, this is last year's figure. Some others from the previous year - Chelsea 149M (68%), Liverpool 90M (57%), Aston Villa 61M (77%), Everton 49M (62%). City's will almost certainly have gone up loads for this year, although increased turnover will offset it somewhat. It would be nice to think that Tevez leaving will mean they miss top four, but even if they do it will not make much difference (other than guaranteeing a Mancini sacking).

Still lower than ours (185m budgeted for this season), give them time I guess.

In other news Atletico are currently going out so the UEFA Cup will be finding a new home. Pissing with snow at their game in Leverkusen too.

Just edited my post, our wage bill is €220m euro (185m pounds). This, however, includes the wages of all our sporting sections (football, basketball, handball, roller hockey, etc...).

If Man City get through in second, who could they face?

 

Vilarreal, Zenit, Spartak, Twente, Ajax, Braga, Stuttgart, PSG, Porto, Sporting, CSKA, Leverkusen, Kiev and one of PSV or Metallist. 

 

Thanks - well you never know, there are a couple in there that look awkward. I'd love to see them go out of both cups, then try to keep everyone happy.

Leverkusen aren't through yet. It'll be Atletico and ARIS if Atletico beat Leverkusen and the current ARIS result remains, no?

They top the group. Atletico need to better Aris' result.

 

Leffe - the teams going through currently in 2nd are a lot weaker IMO although Rubin Kazan & Benfica are strong in that half from the CL.

16mins - MAN UNITED GOAL (1-0): It's been a tight game which needed a goal, and it's been provided by the home side's Ravel Morrison. He picked the ball up on the edge of the box and shot with a low effort which left Ole Soderberg helpess.
