It’s been a busy year for Manchester City. As well as adding a 6th title in 10 seasons, signing Erling Haaland, and trying to extend Pep Guardiola’s contract, their parent company, the City Football Group, have been busy behind the scenes, closing a deal to bring Palermo into their family of football clubs, bringing their total number of teams to 11.
On today’s Explained, we look into this system, its similarities to rival football business Red Bull, and how it has helped City build a world-class side - as well as some of the deeper motivations behind Sheikh Mansour’s investments.

Can anyone explain me how did Barcelona get out of the financial crisis so quick ??? As a Milan fan am furious cuz we took 10 years to recover and they did it so quick and are just spending money for fun in this window
Watch rebonastv yt channel he just did a video on it with his sources linked in the description
@vChewieeTV but lewandowski for 40 million and raphina for 55 milllion most clubs that aren’t “broke” can’t spend like that.
@Roman Jackson But other clubs would be sanctioned for that
They sold the tv rights and Spotify sponsorship and renaming of camp nou helped them
Long story short, they have essentially replaced short term debt with long term debt. Selling a large chunk of their future income to have an immediate cash injection now which they have then immediately spent in hope to get back to where they were (e.g. winning Ucl and la liga consistently). In order for it to work, they need to win those things and have success, if not, it could be really, really bad.
What an absolute rubbish of research and a huge disinformation from this UA-camr..
The city football group is worth 5billion dollars in 2019, as silverlake purchased 15% of the Group for 750mil dollars.
Manchester City have started to recoup large amounts of money from selling their academy and fringe squad players. So much so, the past 2 transfer windows has been a net positive in transfers.
City also do not carry any debt. So all of their revenue goes to profits and running of the club.
There is nothing left to develop at the Etihad. The stadium, Etihad academy & training facilities are already one of the worlds best.
Generational talented youth players are flowing through City academy and if they don’t make it to the first team, they get sold for millions of dollars.
This just goes to show that this channel doesn’t know anything about the business model. Hate to break it to you, but the sheikh is absolutely getting a far better return on his investment than the stock market..
People just want to hate city but don’t look up the facts.
its 6.44 bil now
I too love slaveowners who chop up journalists with bandsaws
To your point about City not carrying any debt--they can pin any debt from Covid, etc on the smaller clubs they own and then wash money into those clubs to cover the cost, no? Or if those clubs turn a profit from player sales etc, could they not just send those profits to City and always operate the smaller clubs at a loss to feed the parent club?
This is a good career mode option now, Palermo RTG
But jokes aside I hope they can restore the club and take them to new heights. This is basically Disney of Football before ours eyes
Here we go again with the “sportswashing” talk.
1. Nobody ever brings up the human rights abuses of America, England, China etc. Not making excuses for the UAE at all but if we are to have a true meaningful conversation about human rights abuses why stop at the UAE?
2. Since 2008 CFG has spent 1 billion on Man City, they had to overhaul an entire team, training ground, local area and upgrade the stadium. You expect them to do all that with £5 and a hug? It takes incredible amounts of money to get a team competing in the Premier League nowadays. Especially since Manchester United completely dominated the league for so long.
3.NYCFC, Melbourne City and Mumbai City all won their leagues last campaign. Not bad for some “feeder clubs”. CFG obviously have a funnel for talented players to Man City because that’s the flagship club but that doesn’t mean they just neglect all the other clubs.
Capitalism is a mental illness. If people understood how destructive, violent, and exploitative it is, they might not look upon the ruling class with such a brown nose
Melbourne City did not win the league last campaign. They lost 2-0 to Western United.
One sided journalism
Really bad from them
CMON CITY!!

CITY CITY
There is so much financial information missing from this video. Silver lake invested 500 million dollars and China media capital invested 400 million dollars into the group to purchase stake. while the abu dhabi still holding a majority 75% stake in the group. Manchester city is actually started making profit(might have been affected by covid though) but they are going to implement the same running strategy into the sister clubs which will make them profitable in the future as they win trophies, best examples are new york city fc, melbourne city and mumbai city fc who have recently won the league in their respective leagues. Therefore it clearly shows that this model is profitable business actually.
i mean it is pretty obvious that this channel always have a negative thing for City. They failed to mention that City, by winning 6 of the last 10 Premier League trophies and never miss a CL spot in that decade, also generate money through winning, qualifying and advancing to the latter stages of UCL. not to mention, the enormous amount of TV deals and sponsorship deals
Idk of the others but mumbai fc did not win isl. I'm from India and mumbai is in India. They didn't even make it to runner up. But they are a very good team, I get your point.
@@ammarbaagu ALL That began with an influx of oil money that the club has never generated
@@micahkiyimba8641 oh no, a business needs some cash injection to start being a good business. You cant run a business without investment mate, especially if you have to compete with legacy clubs.
@@vaishakhvarma lol they did win ISL in 2020-21. You can just fact check yourself.
I usually like you guy’s content, but this video/ video title is really in poor taste. All it does to invite disdain on Man city as football club.
He's stating FACTS only tho
thats not a bad thing though
Good
@@micahkiyimba8641 not at all the whole argument about 1bn isnt factual as city income and spend isn't 1bn apart it's the transfer balance in the last 10 years. However nearly all that money has been recuperated through other means such as winning the pl 6 times
Jealousy in the comments 😂😂
Just pin your identity to a billionaire's plaything and you too can be vicariously successful. Slaves and all
Thanks for showing you're a Liverpool fan 😂 CTID 💙💙💙
Why is football daily so clueless, one sided and bias against Man City, The fact that you all thought cole palmer was Liam delap was embarrassing enough but this video is painfully shallow in accurate detail and it just feels like this video is another way for football daily (the Liverpool lovers ) garner hate for city while smearing their name and doing minimum research while there at it, probably to receive more interactions through encouraging city hate in the comments. Big L on this video. Long time supporter of the channel but as someone who was raised a citizen it gets very boring hearing efd and football daily just hate Man City, you might not like the club but I’m guessing everyone’s goal is to become a pundit/presenter? If that’s the case the least you can do is give a balanced argument. All this city hate only causes the fans to get slewed and we didn’t even do anything or have any choice, born into our clubs the same as you.
Yes, this channel is no longer factual and accurate. Its really disappointing
Just admit it u don’t know why they buy clubs from other countries 📸
To have backup players to swap out and for more money to improve each club and for the owner being a massive fan and football investor in general but the only owner who is got similar gains with less effort from his football life is the Newcastle United owner but he can't prove it as he doesn't have access to all different players from clubs that he already owns
A script written by a Man United fan 🤔
The sportswashing argument is one of the dumbest there are. If Mansour hadn’t bought City, none of the football community would even know about any of the accusations against them. Why would it be helpful for them to jump into the limelight and welcome criticism? It genuinely makes no sense
These people are just massive haters and this is all they can do to try and make the ownership group look bad. It's not working anymore.
It's done by racist pricks hence a Celtic fan who have been prejudice against protestants for their entire history
@@Bodhi594 ignore the racist pricks as that is what they are
@@Bodhi594 lol. Yeah. It's just we are super jealous of their success and not that we worry suckers are like "yeah, it's winning through blood money BUT WE GOT HAALAND".
@@Bodhi594 It HAS worked..Hence why Man City is desperate for the UCL to try and legitimise their sportswashing project...No football fan respects Man City or PSG
City aren't buying clubs, its the owners of city
like
same thing
Liverpool fan ALERT🤣🤣🤣 CFG and Mancity are not the same MATE.
I think Man city group should buy a team in Mexico, its a stronger league than the mls and holds little foreign player restrictions so they would be able to buy young South American players and develop them then send them to Europe once they're ready
liga mx underrated af
Mexican teams have a bit more about them
then why did they buy a football club in INDIA,,,for such a low fifa ranking country,,, what's their aim?
@@euzineu8091 the indian market for merchandise is huge, look at the mumbai city kits vv similar to man city.. nd u can find man city merch alongside mumbai city merch in there stadium and in general in mainly just for merchandise and getting more fans in
@@euzineu8091 business and marketing
Very misleading and inaccurate content. This is really disappointing.
The other cfg clubs aren't really feeder clubs for man city. No players at any of those clubs have gone on to play for city
No but we buy their players and sell them on for profit so it is actually a feeder club
City group can get around FFP if they sign players from there own clubs so if man City sign a player from NYCFC in theory they just exchange cash between the clubs not losing a penny.
In theory but that’s not really how it works, city never use the players from the others teams. Man city are at a point where they’re so self sufficient that they don’t need the other clubs on the city group
@@ehandley1045 they can loan there players out to there partner clubs notably Frank lampard when he was at city he signed a short term contract with man City then he moved to NYCFC then and also David villa also David villa he was loaned to Melbourne City so technically they do exchange players just haven't done it for ages
this video is just steeped in misinformation and click bait
Excellent business strategy
So biased
Do you research before you spit facts out.
Worse video I've seen from this channel by far.
6:03
8:07
A feeder system for MCFC?! What a load of bollox.
Even if they bought clubs in all 221 FIFA member countries and supplies them with billions of players still won’t be enough to topple a football royalty like Real Madrid.
Tople? They sunk and humiliated real Madrid
CITY, CITY...... the best team in north west and all the world. (Sung to the Vikings movie 1958 theme tune) CTID 😛🤣😝💙👍.
0:18 Why did you include an image of Rio de Janeiro when you mentioned Esporte Clube Bahia? We are from Salvador, in the Brazilian Northeast. Brazil is a diverse country, it is much larger than the city of Rio de Janeiro. The image still shows the favelas of Rio, how stereotypical.

This is just making feeding clubs to serve the the flagship club. This structure should be dismantled.
What could possibly be the benefit hmmm what could possibly go wrong hmmmmm.
FFP exists for some clubs..like AC Milan, Derby County, Inter..but PSG and Man City along with Barcelona get to spend freely even with 700M Debts. FOOTBALL is so Corrupt that I am now more of an NBA / NFL fan than European football.
How was PSG able to just add Messi, Donnarumma, Ramos and Wijnaldum to their team with their HUGE salaries without selling Mbappe or Neymar for example? The Ligue 1 TV deal also collapsed YET PSG SOMEHOW added those guys. ANy other club would be sanctioned.
I am an AC Milan fan and my club was BANNED from European Competion for the 19-20 campaign for FFP regulations yet others clearly break the rules and get no punishment...
Man city have 0 debt
and they didnt even win ligue 1
Barcelona didn't break the rules mate I'd they did they would get sanctions (there was an instance when we got sanctioned from buying players for 2-3 seasons or so for buying young players and breaking some rule) so barcelona ain't safe u guys got what u deserved and by looks of it ,u guys are doing well now.
Man City have no debt. They're in the next positive.
Your a tit... uefa have been trying to fuck us for years
Seems biased towards the end.
I love oil ❤
Welcome to Palermo💗🖤💗🖤
Well when you're richer then God what can anyone do anything about it. Disgusting. When their team is winning fan honestly don't give a damn where it came from
Man City the club don't own these clubs. It's the football group they are a part of that does.
All seems a bit dodgy.
@7:50 they also wanted to buy NAC breda in the Netherlands. They almost had an agreement but it fall trough because of fans declining the deal.
Why would fans decline it
@@hadimansour3529 cuz they dont want dirty oil companies ruining theur football clubs
Cause they have their own pride and rather be an amateur club then sellout to countries with somewhat questionable human rights issues. Also dutch clubs being bought by rich people so far has never really worked out well. They tend to enjoy short success at best and then still go broke or worse at best: AZ and vitesse. Worse however is cases like ado den haag, where expectancies and culture clashed so much it was pretty much an instant disaster.
In short it is important that it is THEIR club and not someone else’s
@@hanli5416 I guess but if they get bought that would mean instant success but I get your point thanks anw
@@hanli5416 questionable human rights! I guess you racists have never visited the us
Its getting boring now tbf..

We don’t buy clubs keep crying
@@Summarcheo hmmmm video says otherwise fooooooo! Lol
Sports Washing all over the globe.
Football has lost it's soul. Clubs no longer represent what their founders wanted them to...the culuture of the region/city they exist in
LFC vs MC fac semi final 2022...appx 5k MC fans & 75k LFC fans. Trophy parades of 2022. RMadrid, Milan & LFC appx 500k+ crowds. MC parade appx 40k fans. Conclusion? Quiet literally, no one in the sporting world or on the street gives a flying fig how many trophies or football clubs Abu Dhabi buys.
The replies to this show that sportswashing works hahahahaha. Reckon football lost its moral high ground years ago if we’re being honest but state owned clubs take it to a new level though. Regardless of the ethics of it football fans should be worried about the inevitable disastrous effects it will on competition, quality and fan culture. If global football franchises are the future then we may as well just start the super league now. Football is 💀, hope its worth it
Mumbai City lol for what? India isn't a footballing nation or even an athletic minded nation. City needs to invest in better footballing nations instead of Samosa FC. 😅
Manchester City DO NOT buy Football Clubs. The Headline is a complete wind up. CFG buy Clubs and Man City are one of them.
Because monopolisation is the heart of capitalism. Y'all need to learn some economics. Check out ma boi Karl Marx. He'll sort you right out
It says they make no profit but they invest so much into there projects at the start so short term there may be no profit but these geniuses are laying long term financial foundations that will see the city group never paying for players from outside there own group and selling so many players at profit and reaping so much money from the emotional draw of football with the facilities around the ground that long term the profits will be ridiculously high and I haven’t even touched on there education business model that makes huge profits
Multiownership have to be ban
It is City Football Group that is buying football clubs, NOT Manchester City.
We don’t buy clubs what is this bullcrap… what is this city agenda
Please do some more research not just Based...more info needed
RM will always be a bigger club than Barcelona in Spain. Barca had a few golden years with Messi/Xavi/Iniesta trio. Won only 3 laliga titles from the 1960s-80s, but convinced themselves of their global size & reach based on Messi.
that's also due to their historic stifling of smaller clubs (even barca) as explained by other videos on this channel. RM is a historic team, but hasn't always done so fairly
Now that Qatari group are gonna buy Espanyol, Espanyol will be the bigger team in Barcelona than Bankruptalona
How is this legal & not part of financial fair play?
Because city are smart
When they buy, they dont immediately pour money. They do it step by step, but each step is very huge step. So the illusion of "growth/development" is maintained. And its fair for team to get better by development right?
That's exactly what the Arabs do with Newcastle. They have all the money in the world, but if they use all that in single transfer window...thats FFP breaking. Instead they use the money wisely little by little (which is still huge) building the squad, infrastructure, & management part by part. Do it as fast & as big as possibly legal as they can.
Football is corrupt. Owning 2 Football clubs in the same Confederation should be a conflict of interest
Because FFP is a fake set of rules. It’s not actual legal legislation is it? UEFA don’t hold any actual power so how can they enforce those rules.
@@refkiriswansyah2830 thats bs
I just hate how they are dragging life out of the clubs, just making them another Man City (Melbourne City used to be Red and White and was called Melbourne Heart.)
it was actually ferran sorianos idea.. ex Barca Chief of marketing to create global fotbaling network of ownership. If you have one person to blame for the idea it was feran soriano.. Sheikh mansour was only providing the cash.. everything was operated by feran soriano.
Yes unless it’s a brand new club like NYCFC I don’t like this.
Very good
City fans really haven’t taken kindly to this . Bless they got it so hard
because its waffle😂
So what they’re saying isn’t true ?
@@adamwilliams2874 city arent buying clubs. city is just a part of the organization that bought clubs like new york city and melbourne city
The video doesn't include that all of the outside investment raises the level of footballing economics, which trickles down to smaller clubs having big transfer fees come in, which raises the level and allure of football overall, and injects power and influence into the sport overall. As in, if there were no rich investors putting money they could be profiting more with elsewhere, then the sport potentially wouldn't grow as quickly/have the appeal to athletes that it does? I mean, this is purely from a financial perspective. Just thoughts.
Come on mate, the trickle down effect was a nice idea in the 80s but nobody seriously believes it given the overwhelming evidence in society and even football that its a myth.
Pump money into anything and all that happens is the rich get richer and the poor are relatively worse off. See billionaires in the pandemic, dominance of top 5 leagues in Europe, big 6 in the prem etc...
Even if city having loads of cash did feed through to league 2 through transfer fees or whatever, all that happens is wage expectations rise as clubs speculate financially to reach the division above where there's more money. Something like 21 of the 24 championship clubs make a loss every year, similar in league 1. That's not because running a stadium or paying backroom staff is expensive, it's because players demand obscene amounts of money even at lower levels and clubs take on debt to fund it so they can reach the prem and the associated cash.
Pump money into the top, like City, and you can kid yourself that it helps lower clubs but everyone knows the rich get richer, the gap gets bigger and we have lost a competitive league structure. Isolated examples make it work on small budgets, but you won't find many league tables where wage spend and points are not directly correlated.
Are man city buying clubs or the owners are?
City is valued at 3.5B pounds though
Seems dodgy when they can potentially face eachother in a European competition
Lille and Milan faced each other in Europa League two seasons ago while they were both under the Eliott fund and nothing dodgy happened
Not likely they'll meet in the latter stages, so it's not really decisive
@@pietrovitale9940 that doesn't make it any less dodgy. There's a reason why rules are in place for owning multiple clubs in the same league. The same reasons apply when teams face off in significant games across Europe
@@gimbatul9761 you might be right, But what I'm saying is that it already happened at least twice, MIlan-Lille and Salzburg-Leipzig and Uefa itself bent the rules to allow it and nobody said anything, so it's useless to get mad now because a team in Serie B might in 10 years face Man City in Ucl
stop crying nothing dodgy has happened in past instances of that
I just hope they stop changing these teams logo's for the worst...the old city logo was far superior, I hope they keep girona and Palermo the same
City dont really do that tbh. Most older City fans loves the new logo since it actually have a lot of references to City history. But i had to admit that the Eagle is cool as hell
@@ammarbaagu as a neutral, the eagle was hellaa fire :)
That Crystal palace guy is on a similar mission
It's all money fiddling

We need 50+1 in all professional European leagues 🤷🏽♂️
we don’t, it’s fine if a Club isn’t owned by the fans, we would have way less clubs in general
Absolutely not. That system has destroyed the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga is currently losing money every season and one team has won the league 10 years in a row. The Bundesliga is broken.
What a stupid take 🤣
@@Bodhi594 let's start with the only money the bundesliga has been loosing was due to covid like every other league
Bayerns dominance has been there years before the 50+1 rule was implemented they also made some dodgy TV money deals in the early 2000s to gain even more of an advantage
The only reason the bundesliga is behind is because we've got 50+1 while other leagues have owner that toy around and invest billions in the clubs that sold themselves but I do think most bundesliga fans don't really care about that... We'll rather own our clubs than sell them to businessesmen and get the best players...
it's a very pro-social idea, but the implementation is not there. I see why you'd argue for it, but it's unfortunately very limiting to financial growth, the main driver in the development of the the sport into a global spectacle.
UEFA and FIFA need to do something about it. Obviously this isn't right.
