Man City loses over the last 2 years: £149.5m - pressure on UEFA to act re: financial fair play. Won't be booted out of Europe

OK - now for some context:

Manchester City say they have almost halved their losses for the second consecutive season, posting a net loss of £51.6m, down from £97.9m.

If that trend continues, this year's losses will be less than £30m, which means they pass.

Basic journalistic principles should involve reporting facts rather than pushing agendas. But this is football journalism we're talking about. so that is perfectly acceptable.

Manchester City total losses since the 2008 takeover by Sheikh Mansour who has bankrolled them: £559m. This year's, £52m, is lowest yet.

Check out Sporting Intels timeline on the MCFC accounts. The bloke does his research.

Infact, follow him. He is one of the good ones out there I think. Along with Swiss Ramble, they have the financial side down.

The financial side of football is probably the most interesting aspect.

Something dodgy going on there IMO. City are relative nobodies on the world stage and yet they have the second biggest turnover in the league behind the scum.

That's accounting (accountants) for you! We get paid to manipulate figures
