The companies (Adidas/Under Armour/Nike) make the kit money. That's why they pay to sponsor these things. It was a nice story that they sold so many Zlatan shirts that it was basically free for him, but just not accurate.
And yeah, maybe poverty is a bit of a stretch, but I did see something in the past month or two that said "if Jose had a board to back him like Pep he could compete" or something like that. Which is pretty crazy because yeah, City spends ridiculous money, but its not like United doesn't as well.
All that said, City winning the league this year is kind of hollow. It's financial doping and just buying your way to a win.
