State of La Liga

[AnfieldEd]

Oh so now it's ok for you not to feel any sympathy but when people laughed at lolerpool u cried in the forum and felt offended by lack of support from us ?
caught you with your pants down hypocrite
Actually in such conditions Real & Barca are the most vulnerable due to the huge wage bill and previous loans from both clubs .. small clubs can survive this with ease
the bigger you are the higher you fall.. u know that since you support Liverpool

Real and Barca are INSTITUTIONS they won't be allowed to fall.

You know that as well as I.

This will be an interesting situation to watch play out, a lot of teams are making threats about how they will kick Barca and Real Madrid out of La Liga if the TV rights money isn't fairly distributed, or collective bargaining isn't implemented. From a fairness level, it's understandable when Real and Barca are getting over 150 million and then third is Valencia getting 30 and then everyone else fights for scraps. From a competitive level it doesn't make as much sense, because really on the big two get the viewership numbers. I remember a few weeks back I read about a Spanish TV exec coming out and say if one of the big two didn't win the league it would be a disaster for their station.

Something is going to have to be decided soon though, because in no way do I, nor should anyone want La Liga to become like the Scottish league. The more competitive teams the better for the league, and of course for us in the Champions League/Europa League.

Spanish football was already in crisis, last seasons league table reads like the syphilis scabs on a hookers face. The break up of this terrible TV deal system would actually be the cure, not the disease. Good.

Football in general is in crisis...

Apart from the Germans that is....they have by far the healthiest teams financially...

Good riddance to Mediapro, they have been nothing but a pain in the ass.

Real and Barca are INSTITUTIONS they won't be allowed to fall.

I agree... They are that kind of institutions that will always survive to any crisis... despite all... They will have always some kind off suport, at least of their comunity...

Barca & Real rivals get tough over TV rights
Reuters - Yesterday, 15:04


MADRID - Real Madrid and Barcelona could be forced out of La Liga if they refuse to negotiate a fairer distribution of money from television rights, Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido has said.

Spain's top two divisions started a series of meetings this month to discuss the possibility of creating a separate first division similar to the English Premier League, but Del Nido said a number of clubs were at odds with Real and Barca.

"The clubs have to impose on the big two the conditions in play and if they don't accept them, no problem, we will have a league of 18 teams and they will have a magnificent one of two," Del Nido was quoted as saying on the club website.

"This is a cake in which everyone participates and our decision will be radical.

"It is our responsibility to make sure it (the league) doesn't become a fight between only two teams."

Barca pipped Real to the La Liga title last month, both breaking the previous points record for a season with third-placed Valencia a distant 25 points behind Real.

One of the main bones of contention between the top two and the rest is the distribution of television money.

In Spain, clubs negotiate deals with TV companies individually, unlike the Premier League, the German Bundesliga and France's Ligue 1, where collective deals are struck and revenue shared out.

Real and Barca, two of the world's richest clubs, rake in half the available cash with deals worth about 150 million euros a season.

They have repeatedly said they are unwilling to accept a system of collective bargaining, arguing that it would hurt their competitiveness in European competition.
