This is expected, and we're doing well. We're growing and gaining ground incrementally. Of course, there won't be a huge jump. It took Bayern a long time too.
Not sure what Liverpool did to go from 306 to 392m.
We gained ground on 11th-placed Dortmund. Gap after 2014-15 is 43.5m compared to 17.5m a year before.
Top-10 won't change in a while...as in there won't be any new entrants.
And the commercial revenue actually went down last year, according to the report
Because of our poor CL run in 2013-14. According to Marotta, we lost around 30m (tangible + intangible losses) by not progressing from the group stages. Hard to acquire lucrative partnerships or sponsors when you don't progress from the CL group stages.
The reason our revenue increased by only 7m from 2012-13 to 2013-14 while every other year we've seen substantial gains.
It is unreal. I wonder if we will make it to the 400m this year or at least close to it. In any case, it would be nice to have a new TV Deal but at least our growth is steady and making significant jumps.
I looked at the math/pro forma before, and I think we will have made around 360-365m at the end of this season. Could get close to 400m next season. Should reach the 400m milestone by 2017-18 at the latest unless we do poorly on the field next season.
We're top-3 in TV. Real made 199.9m, Barca made 199.8m, and we made 199.0m. Chelsea at #4 made 178.2m, and City made 178.0.
Matchday and Commercial are the categories we suck in. Can't do much about the former because Turin isn't a big city and because of Italy's economy. Commercially, besides that one year gap, we've been growing slowly but surely. It's just that there's still a looong way to go. We need to establish ourselves as a top-8 team in Europe that makes the CL quarterfinals every season, and we're in the process of doing just that. Think Agnelli has been doing some good work laying the grounds and promoting our team in Asia also. Not sure why North America has been ignored though.
Yeah they would need some serious fall off. Even if they turned into the next Liverpool I doubt they still wouldn't make a lot of money, it's a global brand and companies are falling over themselves to sponsor them.
In sporting terms they can do what they like, they can only field 11 players, and keep going through stupid buys and even stupider coaches for a long time.
The novelty wears off little by little if you keep performing poorly on the field.
But next season, United will have a better coach (and even more money). Don't think they'll be one of the faves in the CL anytime soon, but they should be patching things up in the league.
