Castilla Madrid kicked off their second division game.. so far drawing with Villarreal in El Madrigal 1-1 , 15 min remaining ... good start from the boys considering the amount of players out on loan and the players with Jose

If there's any justice in this world Villarreal will win the Segunda comfortably while Barca B and Castilla fight for mid table positions..with Barca B ahead of course.

 

[Cruijffista]

So Barca B plays @ Camp Nou now huh?

 

[veryfatchocobo]

Good thing La Segunda has only 1 regulation position.

They don't deserve ..it was a good ride for them through out the last decade but they will never make it as you know due to the city size and stadium plus their own debt .. i'd rather much well established teams (fans and stadia ) even if they are not as pretty

Did Carvalho sleep with Mourinho's wife or praise Guardiola or something? A Portuguese losing his squad number to someone else just doesn't make sense, just look at how Coentrao got Zidane's #5

Except they don't have debt, they are one of the few Spanish clubs to actually manage their finances properly, to the point that it screwed them over (Selling Cazorla to the scam in Malaga)

The problem is that the so called "well established teams" you praise like Valencia, Atletico, Betis, Osasuna, Mallorca, Depor, Zaragoza and now Malaga, to name a few should all be or are in administration, there's a reason nobody is investing in these clubs because their assets are toxic and outside of Valencia, that has the political/revenue clout to at least hobble along, the rest are merely biding their time. Not counting the old firm, the only clubs of note to have been properly managed and not get piled under massive debt are Athletic, Real Socided, Espanyol, Sevilla and yes, Villarreal.

So yes the club might come from obscurity but if you don't want La Liga to be a joke you will want Villarreal back, they are one of the only ones not run by idiots. They are one of the few clubs who aren't completely fucked if they implement financial fair play. That's how they were relegated in the first place, by spending within their means.

No Nolan you misunderstood the post , Villarreal will never have the means to compete simply because there isn't enough revenue ... i didn't praise those teams but i clearly stated they can float in la liga due to the fan base, city and the size of their stadium

and no you are completely wrong , Villarreal had debt close to 100 Million Euro which they paid through sale of players and Roig own pockets but left them again in a tight situation . You articles state their debts to the government taxes (external debts ) which is none now cause they paid them last year ..but every year they will sell to pay debts
here is this article about Roig selling his shares in the supermarket share to cover Villarreal debts for this season too
http://www.insidespanishfootball.com/roig-sells-sells-mercadona-shares-to-cover-club-debts/

For how long this will continue ? for a club like Villarreal the match day income cannot sustain them for good if they will compete for the first division..I'm all for clubs like Getafe and Villarreal concept but you want clubs like Rayo , Betis to follow suit cause they do have the fans backing ..

He is put for sale since May, since the first Clasico he fell out of favor and lost his spot for the duet of Pepe-Ramos.. now Varane -Albiol are first choice subs
