We made 63 ? mil from CL last year, and we were nearly break even
How can we suddenly pull a 40 mil loss ?
then there is europaleague. How far will we go ?
Winning the europaleague, is equal in pricemoney to getting into the quaterfinals of CL.
In television money, its less, but still a good amount.
IF finances are really an issue, then its quite simple what we must do.
Whats the diffrence between first and second place in serie a, financially ? Not a big deal, some pocket exchange and the cut of the televisionmoney, wich is nearly the same iirc. Take the financial squad bonus for winning the league in accound, and lower it to second place, and financially, it might actually be better to be second.
However, progressing in the europaleague, gets increasingly more interesting. Its not the big numbers from the CL, but progressing gets nice paychecks each time.
IF we need money to balance our books, then quite simple we need to put everything on europaleague.
But lets stay realistic here. Its not like we missed the CL, THAT, is massive. We went out 2 rounds early. Its bad but not the end of the world
