They already have the biggest revenue out of all teams. Maybe the question is why being no1 in revenue doesn't translate on the field? Maybe because they are spending what they make very very very poorly. On huge contracts for veterans, bad transfers, and so on.
I don't get your post. Barca and Madrid, especially Barca, have been run like shit. That's the problem. The club is no1 in terms of revenue before the pandemic hit, bordering on 1billion if I remember right, but the way the revenue has been spent has been a disaster. Just look at Messi's leaked contract ffs. The wages Griezman gets. It's hilariously bad spending.
Barca/Madrid don't have a problem making money. They have a problem of investing them. Barca pay their squad the highest wages by far for years and years, and the team is a joke in Europe. What are we talking about?
If we compare the wages in this Chelsea side, with the wages at Barca, I think we might be getting a difference of well over 150m. Pique probably has much bigger wages than Rudiger, while being half the player. Pulisic with Griezmann, lol, Griezmann probably has 3-4 times the salary. And so on. Messi, with bonuses, probably earns as much the whole Chelsea's first 11 if not more.
The problem is the huge spending on a squad that didn't count in Europe for nearly half a decade. And let's not even talk about the managers Barca had, guys who no other top team ever touched or will touch. Do you guys think some top 8 team will ever hire guys like Valverde, Setien, or even Koeman?These guys are Valencia, Bilbao, Betis level, with major flaws in multiple areas. Not even Lucho is good enough to land a top club.
The club has been terribly managed, and not because it's not generating enough money. This is nonsense. Lol, if they have a spike in revenue, they probably use the extra money to give Messi a bigger contract
Exactly idk what the hell Khalid is talking about, both teams already make the most money in football, like I said else where, yet we constantly hear the same thing from a certain set of posters, the club is trying to be on the same financial footing as the English teams, If anything it's the other way around.
What matters is the horrifically bad way in which we as a club have spent out 100's of millions over the years & now we need SL to save us financially, while the SL would just be a great financial boast for most of the English clubs.
