Where does this money come from?

(question from a Man City fan. I know, ironic.)

Last year City did about £715m, and Barca €763 million so yeah it looks problematic but then for the season just gone that will be reported soon they predicting a jump to €950 million, with a further jump to a billion for next year. If those numbers stick, I would guess that's how if they spending all of that increase on a couple of new signings.

What I do not get is how City are funding their massive spending when you include the significant player wages offered to their new players. Really seems like that they are laughing at the FA and the charges the FA brought against City.
