The Official Manchester City Annual 2023

Product Information

Manchester City's chairman believes that the club are beginning to be a benchmark for others after their 2021/22 financial report saw them report record revenue and profit. He added: "But football does not stand still and other leading clubs continue to evolve and develop. We therefore need to constantly challenge ourselves to improve upon what we have achieved. This means innovating further in Manchester and beyond. In 2021/22, commercial revenue represented Manchester City's largest source of income, generating 373 million euros for the club. The second-largest revenue stream was broadcasting, at 294 million euros, while matchday revenue returned to pre-coronavirus (COVID-19) levels. The Manchester-based football club is owned by City Football Group Limited, a holding company for the Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment. The procession to the Cathedral will pass by Old Trafford for a moment of reflection and provide an opportunity for fans to say a final farewell to a true Manchester United legend.”

The report also details the success of City’s youth. In addition to an impressive number of first team debuts, City’s Academy won the Premier League Under-18 title and the Elite Development Squad landed the Premier League 2 crown. Therefore, for an incredible second year, City had a clean sweep of the available Premier League titles at Academy and senior level. “This is an unprecedented collective achievement and points to the bright future for our Academy graduates,” says Soriano. As of October 2021, Manchester City was the most valuable soccer club globally, based on the combined transfer value of the squad. The acquisition and development of high-profile players alongside strong performances in the English Premier League has helped the club significantly improve upon their brand value. To demonstrate, Manchester City’s brand value increased by about 370 percent between 2012 and 2022, reaching a peak of about 1.42 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. The squad’s reputation has allowed the club to make higher demands for jersey sponsorships, as seen from the increasing value of Manchester City’s main jersey sponsorship deal with Etihad since 2009. During their two competitive fixtures last week, the club held a minute’s silence and a minute’s applause for their former player and long-serving Director, as well as holding an emotional pre-match dedication on both occasions. @the.manc Rest in peace ❤️ #manchester #manchesterunited #manunited #sirbobbycharlton #football #foryou #manchesterunitedfans ♬ original sound – The Manc Read more: Mikel then went on to recount an altercation between him and another former star, Samuel Eto’o, describing how the Cameroonian “had a go at him and they had a massive fight on the training ground just because [De Bruyne] wasn’t putting in the effort… so they had a massive row on the pitch.” Reimagining ourselves and how we move forward in Manchester and through City Football Group (CFG), the industry-leading, multi-club organisation that Manchester City sits at the heart of."

City revenues exceeded neighbours United's for the first time ever last year, and while that may not be the case this year - United can also expect the return of a much-higher matchday revenue in addition to major new partnerships such as their kit deal with TeamViewer - the Blues have shown that they are still heading in the right direction. Manchester City FC is an English Premier League club initially founded in 1880 as St Mark’s West Gorton. It officially became Manchester City FC in 1894 and has since then gone on to win the European Cup Winners’ Cup, eight League Championship titles, including six Premier League titles (2012, 2014, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022), and six FA Cups. Manchester City FC is one of 12 clubs comprising the City Football Group and counts New York City FC and Melbourne City FC among its sister clubs. All major Club activities are detailed in the report starting with the Club’s remarkable on-field statistical successes last season. This of course includes the men’s first team winning the Premier League trophy for a remarkable fourth time in five years under Pep Guardiola’s leadership – and doing it in style, scoring more goals than any other team (99). Additionally, the squad reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, marking 10 Champions League qualifications in the last 10 years and making City the only Premier League club with this achievement over that period. Nevertheless, Mikel did go on to remark: “When I watch Kevin De Bruyne today I’m like, ‘Is this the same guy?!'”. As for Terry, he wondered if his discipline as captain may have been too much and perhaps “they needed an arm around the shoulder” instead to help them settle in. This growth impacted external independent benchmarks with Brand Finance naming Manchester City the second most valuable football brand in the world, with a valuation of €1.33 billion. Soriano continues: “Ultimately, the 2021-22 season was representative of the football standards that we have set ourselves as we continued to deliver on our ownership’s vision and plans.”

On a micro level, the Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain broke the club record for the highest single matchday revenue while the Champions League group stages were the best attended since City first qualified more than ten years ago. In terms of global reach, there were more eyeballs on the team than ever before. Six hundred million viewers cumulatively watched City over the course of the season, an audience of 27 million for their league match against Liverpool in April was the most-watched game in any league in the world and the Blues also featured in three of the five most-watched Premier League games that year. He was somebody that comes to training and probably because he wasn’t playing that much, always [had his] head down, always angry and sulking. He was like a kid who came to the playground and nobody wanted to play with him.” The memorabilia placed by mourning fans is now also been carefully relocated to the Old Trafford Museum and will join the tributes left by fans following the passing of Sir Matt Busby in 1994.

The Chelsea legends made the rather bold claim on a recent episode of retired midfielder Mikel’s self-styled YouTube show, The Obi One Podcast, when the two were discussing if they ever foresaw the likes of de Bruyne and Mohammed Salah going on to become the incredible athletes they have. Under manager Pep Guardiola, one of the most highly-decorated managers in world football, the Club plays its domestic and UEFA Champions League home fixtures at the Etihad Stadium, a spectacular 55,000 seat arena that City have called home since 2003. Today, the Stadium sits on the wider Etihad Campus, which also encompasses the City Football Academy, a state-of-the-art performance training and youth development facility located in the heart of East Manchester. Featuring a 7,000 capacity Academy Stadium, the City Football Academy is also where Manchester City Women’s Football Club and the Elite Development Squad train on a daily basis and play their competitive home games. City CEO Ferran Soriano hailed the "beautiful football" played as the fundamental reason for attracting more fans and sponsors, while setting out with 'certainty' that the next decade will be even better for the club. And chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak is keen to move forward after achieving a major goal that was set internally following the takeover. In addition, the club has confirmed that all the plastic will be removed from the floral tributes and will be recycled, with all flowers being composted and used in the gardens at the Carrington Training Complex. In 2008, we gave ourselves the target of exceeding the benchmarks that had been set by others within football; and in doing so, to also exceed the new standards that we believed leading clubs would achieve in the time it would take us to catch-up," he said.

Our aim was clear – to one day be the club that set the benchmark for others. The statistics and results show that in many ways we are beginning to achieve our long-term ambition. He might be one of the best players in the Premier League if not the world at present, but ex-pros John Obi Mikel and John Terry have insisted they never could have predicted that Kevin de Bruyne would have turned into the player he did — in fact, they went so far as to label him a “bad trainer”.
