Remember when the English media said we needed to sell MSN to sign new players? Oh well, turned out we were one of the highest spenders after the Manchester clubs anyway.
There is also an option that we didn't actually have money, but we "loaned" the money from a budget for upcoming seasons, with the idea: we will buy some players, go into a debt, but we will win a CL with new players and we will soon neutralize that debt.
The only problem is if we don't win a CL (or whatever objects we have), then we both won't have money currently, and we have already spent majority of money for upcoming seasons.
... it is not as exactly the same story NEVER happened in our club's history or in a history of tons of other clubs.
Some will jump and say: yes, we do have debts, but when RM has debts, then banks and a government help them. Oh well, that's true.
But we still DO have our own debts that came from higher expenses than our actual income.
I personally can't trust too much to a guy (our president) who cheated till now in 1000s of ways on taxes, transfers and everything.
And if we'll do have money in a summer, god knows from where that money is coming from and how high our debt will be in a few years if those "loans" won't result in winning CLs (which, in my opinion=won't. Not with a current rooster, and with current levels of motivation).
On the other hand, if Uefa is corrupted (which they are) and if they'll always allow for top teams with insane debts just to play and compete in a CL forever, then Barto don't have to be afraid.
Someone else will need to solve those debts in 20-50 years when Uefa will be less corrupted.
I am now rambling about too much things, but I just wanted to say: in some normal universe, where you can spend only as much as you are earning, I wouldn't be surprised that we are actually broke currently (Millions thrown through the window on stupid transfers, MSN wages, stadium costs).
But in this corrupted universe (where Uefa is attracting millions of viewers with RM, Barca, Messi, CR7 etc), where big teams can spend as much as they want and more or less never return that money, Barto will find new 50-100 Millions somewhere, regardless of our actual income and again, someone else will eventually have to clean that mess in 2040' or 2050'.
