Manchester City Football Club Ltd.
Traditional Man City strip.

Notes:

Gate receipts were mortgaged to an American company for £30.3million in 2003, to be repaid with 7.27% interest over twenty-four years. The club left its old stadium (Maine Road - capacity 32,500) to move into the new City of Manchester Stadium (originally built to host the Commonwealth Games in 2002 - capacity 48,000) for which they share gate revenue with Sport England and Manchester city council after deducting costs.

Turnover and pre-tax profit figures are in millions.
