Baby You're A Rich Man

[randommiss90]

Deloitte's Football Rich List has been released and it makes interesting reading given the FFP rules are to come into effect in two seasons time. It's probably the best indicator of who will meet the requirements and who is living dangerously close to the edge of oblivion. The main bit is that Real Madrid will not be moved as the World's Richest

rich and debt free. What more could you want?

[problematique]

even this isn't a clear evaluation
all of the italian clubs are having money issues

[stringeilcuore]

but uncle galliani and berluska do use all the selling moneyz to have a debt free milan. and that's why they are so cheap and we only get players on loan XD

[tralala]

is there is a source for this? it's sort of hard to interpret without the footnotes.
I think the debts might have changed a bit though, profits have increased, but there's been some large sums of money changing hands, plus the GFC's been fucking everything up.

[tralala]

erm.
this fairly recent article claims they have a large debt:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/9276343.stm
and didn't the qatar foundation become their sponsors because of said debt (correct me if I'm wrong)

[tralala]

if the BBC article's figures are correct, Barcelona's debt should be sitting at about the same as RM's, if not higher. I ceebs doing the currency exchanges properly and there's probably other factors coming into play, but it should be at least ~60% at the time this was done, the audit mentioned was only a few months later.
side eyeing you, Forbes.

and I want to see Valencia's debt this time around.

[tralala]

It's like someone went 'can't find a number for this, put 0. lol!' and then used that 0 as an actual figure.

I may have done easy maths (IB easy maths, but still) but I know that ain't right.

[tralala]

thanks for this. he's a prick, but these comparative figures do put it into context & confirm that barca should be around the same point as the other clubs. not 0.

really Forbes...

having debt isn't a bad thing
liverpool still has some for the new stadium/anfield renovations

This table is more relevant tbh
