Manchester City Reports Record Revenues and Profits Amid Legal Challenges
Club's Wage Bill Hits Premier League Record as Chairman Hails 'Greatest Football and Commercial Year'
- Manchester City Football Club has reported record revenues of £712.8 million ($890 million) for the 2022-2023 season, surpassing the previous record of £648.4 million set by Manchester United.
- The club also reported a record profit of £80.4 million ($100 million), nearly doubling the previous year's total of £41.7 million ($52 million).
- City's wage bill rose to an unprecedented £422.9 million ($529 million), the highest ever in the Premier League, largely due to performance-related bonuses following their success in winning the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup.
- Despite the financial success, Manchester City is currently facing over 100 charges from the Premier League for alleged breaches of financial rules, which the club denies and is contesting.
- Club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak described the 2022-2023 season as the 'greatest football and commercial year' in the club's history.
