Manchester City is rent free in my brain💙👕I like data and sometimes like to make infographics
Joined July 2012
What started as messy Excel sheets became charts, then power bi dashboards, and now a full platform valuball .co It’s a bit surreal to be at this point to be honest. Ive poured hours into Excel sheets and Power BI over the years, so this platform’s really been built out of love

Commercial revenue ≠ Fan base size. There is a big correlation between fan base size and kit deals though which is why Arsenal, Liverpool and United have consistently topped this no matter their on field performances Commercial revenue generally comes from long term success and
BTW City sold 85m from kit sales. But hey, their commercial revenue is somehow magically higher than the likes of United m, Arsenal, and Liverpool 🤷🤷

In that same period City also profited from player sales £287m more And made an extra £1.3bn in total revenue In broadcast revenue alone it was £500m+ lol
Man City have spent a whopping £870m more than Arsenal on wages in the last 10 seasons 💰👀

Arsenal have released their 2024/25 accounts and database has been updated Arsenals revenue has grown 110% over 5 seasons. Going from £328m to £690m. This is generally a big factor from success in recent years (finishing in high positions and deeper CL runs) as success

Ive said it for years success breeds success. Great examples - Liverpool went from £302m in 2014/15 to £533m in 2018/19 in a complete turn around of the club that was yoyoing out of consistent champions league football to being a mainstay powerhouse - United in 2018/19 = £627m
Overall Arsenal are trending very strongly. From 2018/19 to 2022/23 they were BOTTOM of the traditional big 6 clubs in terms of Revenue earnt Now they sit right at the top of the league with Liverpool and City only slightly ahead.

Reducing Pep Guardiola to 'money and big clubs' is intellectual laziness. Resources explain access. They don’t explain 15 years of sustained tactical dominance. Greatness doesn't suddenly become invalid because it wasn't built from scarcity!
I hope people understand how crazy this is considering he inherited a team of Silva, Aguero, Kompany, KDB, Sterling, Fernandinho, and many other great players. Pep doesn’t live in your normal world. He shouldn’t be compared to other managers. Let him go to a club where there is

It’s just because he’s the longest standing manager. No idea why would anyone use that measurement. Pep(City’s) net sits below United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs All while winning the most by far in the period.

Manchester City won the English Football League First Division title in the 1936/37 season. •Relegated: Manchester United and Sheffield Wednesday Note: In an unusual turn of events, Manchester City became the only team in English top-flight history to be relegated the season
City have done a league double over Liverpool for the first time since 1936/37. Incredible.

Highest premier league spending in Premier league history nearing the £4bn mark To put it into context 5 of the current top 10 biggest purchasing windows came from this season When 2025/26 actual accounts are out I believe that 3.75bn will probably eclipse the £4bn as media

Here is Wage Rank vs Standings you can see the underperformers. Its not 100% clear yet as we dont have all wage data so database cant fully rank wages from 1-20 properly but still you can see the top side of the table in terms of under/over performance for the 2024/25 season.
Database updated with Deloitte Report (will be updated in depth when accounts are released for all clubs) But you do get to see a clearer picture form below Revenue (2024 and 2025 combined for PL teams) and some 10 year revenue trends

Best City pod. Ahsan even watched the game over (don’t know how he does it 😂)
For those still not over it. Yesterday's review of the Derby. Therapy in audio form. NSFW or whilst driving the kids to school. If you're not signed up to the #9320player, now is the moment! https://t.co/t9FoErbuNf
