It doesn't seems like anyone have noticed that Juventus released the financial report for the first half of season 2011-12.
A quick overview compared to the same time last year.
(all in mio. euros)
Loss in period 2011-12: 34.6
Loss in period 2010-11: 39.5
So a positive change of 4.9
Costs
Operating costs fell from 100.1 to 91.3.
Player wages and staff 66.1 in 2010/11 to 61.7 in 2011/12.
Income
Revenues felt from 88.8 to 85.4 even with the new stadium. But it has to be mentioned that ticket sales rose from 5.4 to 14.0.
And if we take into account that we have been missing out on Cl two years in a row.
(To compare Milan got 24,79 mio euro last year when they got knocked out in 1/8 in CL)
(To compare Inter got 37,98 mio euro last year for a quarter finale)
(Ticket sales aren't included in the values mentioned above, it's only TV right and prize money)
CL prize money to qualify for..
quarter = 3.3
semi = 4.2
finale = 5.6
WIN CL = 9.0
Don't know about 1/8 and group stage prize money, anyone?
