Correction. Our official sponsor is New Holland, it's a division in the Fiat group. So instead of money, they give us harvesters and tractors. At least, agricultural wise, we are ahead of everyone else in serie a. We should be proud of this.
the article is in croatian , it says about possibility of UEFA baning some of the english clubs and also Real Madrid and Inter from european competitons because of their large debts.
There's no mention of Juventus but there is a list of clubs who owe the most money and we are there with 147 mil . pounds
No one will be banned, to think about that, is silly. CL needs these clubs as much as these clubs need CL.
The competition will loose its appeal without those teams.
Those are by no means the concrete figures, that is definitely and estimate to do with our stadium financing. We're closer to 50Million hard unmaleable debt, with at most another 20 short term operational debt.
The article say that those informations for non-english clubs are based on the research of Jose Marija Gay, financial expert and professor in Barcelona.

Nothing has happened. It's your typical fear mongering. We undoubtedly took a financial hit from our early CL exit, but it is certainly nothing that will cripple us.
We are looking at bargains in the transfer market because our board are extremely anal when it comes to the balance sheet and will only spend within their means (unlike pretty much every top club), NOT because we are broke like Liverpool, Man Utd, etc and have no money to spend.

That article is bullshit. £147m also happens to be suspiciously close to the cost of our stadium (it's actually £137m), and they assume this is all debt when in reality around 68% of it is entirely financed through sponsors (Sportfive deal and the Nordiconad sale).
The only recent debt we have is a loan of €50m to help cover the remaining cost of the stadium, and it is payable over 12 years, which is hardly a concern.
Because it takes a long time to go through the negotiations, or we haven't even started yet. For Chelsea it was instant because of his relationship with Abramovich.
I think the support of Ciro is purely to keep a positive attitude in the dressing room, which is important even if the results say it's demolished.
BTW it is normal for companies to have debt, and for big ones to have lots of debt. Most big strong companies are financed more by debt than by equity. As long as cash flows are high enough to pay the debt and equity is positive there is nothing to worry about.
