Big clubs are losing a lot of money and they r going to keep doing it for a while. They are going to be in crisis quite soon as they did in 2008. The only reason they saved last time was because they open the clubs to be taking over for foreigners, yep, no LOCAL fans owners there.
After that Sheik fest, TV revenues growths a lot because EPL and Messi-CR7 Force. Industries like music, movies: no money, no quality. It's just how it is but you can't say movies, music are dead, they are just bad
Big clubs are never loosing a lot of money. In short that is how it is. It just sounds better as a propaganda. Clubs are tools in the grand scheme of things. They are the modern gladiators for the masses. Why do you think someone like John Elkann 'pours' money into Juventus? Because he wants to get one over Moratti? C'mon man!
What do you think UEFA is ?
An organisation that controls all aspects on football in Europe.
And make no mistake the PL isn't dying , oil clubs aren't dying , bundesbayern isn't dying , the other clubs not so much but who cares about them when you can poach their lewandowskis for free, real Madrid and Barca are probably gonna be saved by their governent.
But serial A is fuc*ed . You are just unable or refuse to see. Well it is going to hit us hard starting in the next mercato.
Seria A might be fucked, on the other hand might not be. Italy is fucked as well, no one cries about that. Clubs are national treasures in a way and that is why they shoudn't have an owner but a mere steward. Owning one is expensive. Just like having a private jet. But I'd love to be next to Del Piero (for example) on christmas dinner or the night before a CL final. Those things require a bit more than a mere Mastercard can do. Sounds like a job for Exor then. They seem to be flush with money so Juventus is going to be just fine.
In the meantime - the concerned amuricans are buying those 'fuc*ed' Seria A clubs instead of starting their own in a competitive North American environment and market. Ever seen so many dumb billionaires and hedge funds? They have a problem though. They can't seem to understand why Italian cities, most of which should be UNESCO heritage sites, refuse to have a small stadium in the middle of a mall. That's the sustainability and development these owners can envision. Brilliant !!!
I am not here to defend UEFA, but they have been pretty neutral in our clean world. Much better than most similar organizations. Consider this - how many organizations have been broken from top to bottom and had their CEO banned in Europe? How about the land of the free? Also the notion that UEFA is suffocating these same clubs that wanted to separate is ludicrous. They are valued in the Billions.
