1. They could even sell out the Etihad when it was at 48K capacity and recently expanded to 54K and still struggle to sell out and now have plans to expand to a further 61K,that tells me their super rich owner is obviously buying up the empty seats to boost match day revenue.

Mansour's a clever man, he knows exactly what he's doing. Why build extra seats when you can't fill what you already have??

He needs the big names, Messi, Suarez, that's the calibre of player you'll see City sign now. He has the money but that wasn't enough, he now has the manager.

That's what Pep is there for to bring the big names who in turn will bring the spectators.

Liverpool are named in that Super Six alongside Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid. Forbes says that “these teams have created a large, global following and have figured out how to monetize it.”

Laughable how Man City are in the super six of clubs,the requisite for being in the super six is Match day revenue,commercial revenues,social media numbers and TV revenues.

Commercial.
2.Commercial revenues, Etihad ArabTec Etisalat Aabar and AbuDhabiTourism are all companies linked to ownership giving them a laughable 3rd highest commercial revenues in world football.Their kitdeal with Nike at 12 million a year is one of the lowest amongst the top teams in europe further proof outside of Abu Dhabi they are not a commercially viable Bohemoth and they need the abu dhabi deals to get past FFP scrutiny.

Social media.
3.The numbers of hits for videos on their offical Youtube channel as an example shows something dodgy is going on with their social media numbers that are comparable to the Real Madrid and Barcelona numbers of hits on Youtube,they must hire migrant workers in squalid conditions like in Qatar with the sole aim of boosting their social media presence,poor guys having to click on City affiliated Youtube videos and retweet tweets etc and fav pics on Instagram and likes on FB.They do not even have a fanbase outside of Manchester,they cannot even sell out grounds on tours to the USA Asia/Australia.This link pretty much destroys City's presence in social media,hardly in any top 3 in any country. https://interactive.twitter.com/premierleague/#?mode=team&teamId=all&country=UKR

I would think most Liverpool supporters would be intrinsically flattered to be included in "the Super Six"...given that they don't have your seemingly forensic knowledge of the machinations of such. They probably simply equate that to it meaning "we're still *****n' boss, La....aaaaaah". There are many RS who rather sadly forensically examine the minutiae of how they deserve to still be included in the top echelon...quoting this, that and the other...and adding accompanying graphs and paraphernalia. However much they micro-source such info, they still miss that glaring phosphorous torch that lights their horizon saying theyre nowhere near the top, haven't been for some time, and don't hold your breath for some time in the future, either. Lifes tough....get a hard hat and then grasp the reality.

I've already posted that mate, so beat you to it. In all honesty though, what kind of achievement is that? Having more money than others than the rest? Is that really the club Shankly fought to build? Not winning the league for quarter of a century but happy to paper over the cracks because you've got more money than some other teams? He'd be embarrassed with the idea that having more money made you better than other teams, or was an achievement in itself.

Thats the really sad part of all of the behaviour really. Especially on RAWK. Your ground is situated in one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the UK. Your owners sought to up prices to £77 but got beaten back by the fans, though are still charging a small fortune.

Your local fanbase can barely afford to get to go to the match as it is but rather than challenge the owners you'll happily wave around the money "you" have as a football club. It's the equivalent of people celebrating Buckingham Palace as ours. Completely stupid.

Meanwhile FSG get richer and richer at the expense of winning trophies. Yet your own fanbase are too thick to grasp what's happened and run along singing "we're richer than you" as if it were an indication of anything.

Where does that logic end? Are Chelsea a bigger club than Everton or Liverpool on the basis of their bank balance? It's not hatred I feel for you lot it's just pity. Amazement and pity that you could possibly think any Evertonian would be in the leas bit bothered that you had loads of money. Thats why nobody is posting about it, because it means nothing.

Your own manager, the spirit of your club would be ashamed of a great deal of your modern supporters.
