Manchester United were a commercial powerhouse, a footballing brand that brought in more revenue than any other british football club.
Note the “were”. Not any more. Manchester City, their “noisy neighbours” have overtaken them.
But how? Have United dropped the ball? Or have City become too big to ignore?
Kieran Maguire writes, Henry Cooke illustrates.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Pretty sure Liverpool won the title without having a top 3 wages bill. United, City and Chelsea have a higher wage bill I think

@egptnwarrior22 2 года назад

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.

@spa2damax 2 года назад

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.

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.

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

@lwandomadikizela2213 2 года назад

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.

@oreoluwaokuwobi 2 года назад

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

@jeremygrant1325 2 года назад

So if Liverpool win this season it'll be the second time a team wins without having top 3 wage bill spend, not that fourth really changes much... lol

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.

@tomteatom 2 года назад

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.

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
