Just a general question?
Could Barca ever spend the kind of money that Real Madrid are doing without going going broke? Looking at it both clubs have similar marketing power, same importance to their society, same structure and operate in under the same conditions in the same country, so how come Real Madrid can afford to spend so much more money??
Nobody knows how they can spend this kind of money.
And they aren't even spend out. they had 250 million euro's for transfers this summer.
And i recon they are just past half way that money.
It's insane, and at this moment there doesn't seem to be a logical explanation. As said by Sali i Martin, a board member (with the suits, and world expert in financial structures).
Anyway they are doing it.
the financial situation will have to rectified by the clubs members, sooner or later, and then we'll see what happened and how.
They are possibily in hugh debts, but in a way it's all legal, so it seems.
But when you think reasonable, it's hard to believe where they get the money from, because they have been spending these last seasons, and now even more without a trophy this year.
EDIT: i think Barca could do the same, but barca has been working towards that zero deficit, which will revenue money on the long term. Laporta has made it one of his topics to reduce debts in high tempo, so i doubt Barca will spend the same amounts, although, a season with 3 trophys generates an extra financial input.
