Your link and those statements don't contradict themselves. Those ratings change all the time. It's a fact, that barca was pre covid the club with the highest revenue of all football clubs. Let's see a year from now how high the revenue will be with tourism back on track again. Yesterday, we had 83.000 fans in the stadium during a friendly match. Many of them tourists who spend money. Let's see how the season goes and matchday income rises without any covid restrictions
.As someone who works at a rating agency: BBB- with a negative outlook is an absolute warning from the agency. Without improvement, they will fall from investment grade to junk status and this will close many sources of money.
BBB clearly stands for "Bravo, Barca, Bravo!"
"The Negative Outlook also reflects the risks associated with the upcoming stadium refurbishment, which will force the club to temporarily move to a new smaller stadium and materially reduce capacity of the well-known Camp Nou stadium, until the refurbishment is complete. Furthermore, a delay in construction schedule could lead to lower-than-expected revenue. These works are expected to be financed without direct recourse to FCB and we see the refurbishment as positive for the club. FCB has confirmed that it will not be liable for any cost overrun on construction, but Fitch notes that the details of the construction contract are still to be finalised."
have you translated the original article - it gives a decent explanation and also there is a quote from the president suggesting something along the lines of we hope la liga apply the same interpretation

is a strange world
Pathetic
I'm sure Barca fans will be rushing in to explain how this isn't at all embarrassing/unethical and how Laporta is a genius. Joke club.
If Barca do need to generate the €144m from you know actual real deals then there is a few interesting weeks coming upIt's weirdly comforting that even as shambolic a state as we are in as a club, there is always someone worse.
Why should they? 2/3 of LaLiga face the same problem barca has, just no one outside spain is talking about it, because barca is the new drama klick baiting magnet. Out of 90 signings so far, there are only 35 registrations. Teams like FC Sevilla, Betis Sevilla and Villareal with a more or less healthy debt ratio have to sell their best players for a dime to register other signings. Tebas's ffp rules just cripple the league, that's a fact. I expect this season a far weaker LaLiga in comparison to the PL.

"Laporta is doing brilliant accounting" blabla. They just burnt 37.5M€
Laporta: "Here is your new shirt Memphis."
Just out of interest but what's the general opinion about what Barca is doing in the Real Madrid fan camp?Carta de libertad = club is renouncing a transfer fee for the player. It's not any more than that
Back on topic: it's the hope that kills me
Just amazing. What an absolute clusterfeck.It's weirdly comforting that even as shambolic a state as we are in as a club, there is always someone worse.
Have they? You don't find it odd that they have not registered most of the players they bought yet?
Because I can feel the feckers finding a solution. They are in shambles that club at the minute but take a look at the players they signed. Each and every single one of them would walk into our starting XI.
All I ever see is Barcelona fans blaming everyone else for all it’s problems.
I watched brighton... pretty sure your supposed to walk about after you get in the 1st XI
Raphina would 100% start for us and switch Sancho over to his preferred position on LW. Rashford can then rot on the bench like he deserves for his 12 month of atrocious performances. I’d take Christiansen over Maguire as well.
id take varane over maguire as well though ... and over christiansen
I would don't envy them. I rather be in united position any day.
All I ever see is quotes from klick baiting journalists. No one denying problems, but the nerrative this summer is absolutely ridiculous. Many of you riding the hate train and taking every word written as the holy grail, no matter how questionable the source is. For example I read at least 20 insulting posts quoting the cope story. Did you know they already accused barca wrongly about a doping complaint? They even apologized for it after some pressure. You all don't know how spanish press works and it's funny.
Isn’t this a perfect match of the so-called money laundering (in a stupid way and purpose though)? They have 150mil (not illegal obtained though) which is not counted to increase the salary cap, so they money launder it. What are Spain law enforcements doing now?
Well, at the moment, they can't even walk into Barca's ...
Going after players like Arnautovic and apparently agreed a deal for an absolute shithouse character of a CM, stuck with probably top 3 worst owners in elite football. Not much better for us.
Christensen is a better player than the 80m pound slab captain calamity we are stuck with. Raphinha right now better than both Martial and Rashford also Sancho. Kessie would be a massive upgrade on every single one of our midfielders.
This is not money laundering, not even close.
There are no owners even remotely close in “elite” football. We have the worst, bar none, by a distance. Scum.
Can't disagree. Can't think of another elite club who are run like us with sheer incompetent non qualified people in vital roles.
