the fucking shit spanish situation in therms of endless money.
Mid nineties,while juventus was dominating europe, barshit was chocking in dept, and madrid was making even more dept.
however, because general bankrupt rules doesnt seemb to apply and because banks keep giving them loans, they make more.
in 1997/1998 real madrid had so much dept, that they technically werent allowed in the CL, yet they still managed to enter. beating us in the final.
the year after they make it worse, by getting zidane, going 2.5 bilion euro in red.
they got saved because the city of madrid agreed to buy their training complex for over 5 times the real value, whilst loaning it back for peanuts.
saved from dept, madrid made massive commercial succes during the galacticos era, and eversince has been the number one commercial club in the world.
HOWEVER, despite their current dept, they actually make profit due to their extreme commercial turnover.
madrid made 50 mil profit last season.
Barshit has allways been a big dept club, however, beeing the pride of catafucklonia, they were turned a blind eye.
in one of their massive spending summers, they snatched deco and ronaldinho.
after years of chocking, they finally got it right, won the championsleague.
dominated the spanish league for years to come.
later, thanks to a legendary yought generation, they dominated europe.
wich actually is a relative thing, because instead of beeing big transfer chockers, barcelona became young player chockers
everyone hails their yought complex, whilst they buy 50+ promising youngsters a year. much like arsenal tries, but barshit has more attractiveness, especially towards native spanish language players.
currently, barshit is still in massive dept, and still makes losses each year, despite an allmost equal turnover compared to madrid.
my conclusion ?
madrid has build its succes beeing forgiven and bailed out to create dept
barcelona is currently doing a simular thing.
