And as of last season Man City are profitable and completely debt free. Not many clubs can say that! Things are looking good for us

what is so impressive about this

they are backed by an arab royal family with limitless funds who have pumped over a billion pounds into he club which city don't have to pay back

same with chelsea over 1 billion pounds which chelsea don't have to pay back

how can they not be in debt

Other clubs have had owners pump plenty of money in to them as well. Not all of them were debt free though and it certainly doesn't guarantee profitability. Look at Portsmouth for example...

don't think portsmouth were bought the same kind of players as city or got a 300m sponsorship deal for nothing

don't get me wrong i like city and am glad for their fans to be on top for a change but it is because of a countries family oil welath pumping in unanswered money for years (like chelsea) and not some kind of prudent finacial master plan
