Are Barce in major financial Trouble
- Thread starter Wumminator
- Start date
Yes, I said so a few week's back. They are in just as bad a position as we are, if not worse.
I read on the Caf somewhere in the last few weeks that the entire Spanish league is in financial trouble, so this doesnt really surprise me
Bargins Ahoy!!!!!
I hear that Messi kid is pretty good...
So how the feck do they get to sign Villa?
Overated, I was thinking more of that Guti guy.
Despite the massive tv deals Barca and Real got they still need bank loans... It's a good thing Platini is targeting PL and the "economic doping" going on in England
And Cesc
Barca are a model club. A true testament that fan ownership works.
The TV company went bankrupt without paying the expected instalment on their TV contract. It'll get sorted out, meanwhile their cashflow is nothing like what they expected - hence another bankloan.
Ok, so with their financial problems, already signing Villa and looking to sign Fabregas, its a dead cert then that theyre not going after Ozil.
The dream lives!

Exactly, they are saints
I'm having fun with this

Anything to back this up?
They are £430m in debt.
firesale!
Poor Barcelona, relegated to only signing David Villa. Feel really sorry for them, honest...
This is what Fergie has been saving that 80m for
Are the cash flow problems directly related to the TV company bankruptcy?
Sell OT naming rights to Nike and let's buy Messi and Villa
Naming rights are useless for older grounds. Gill has already ruled that moved out a long time ago.
Just do a Google search.
Barcelona to Unicef......
"erm, can we have our money now?"

wonder if platini will sort barca and laliga out
Magic German Octopus says no!

Come onExpect a garage sale?
the Octopus is BritishOne hopes so
They'd get bailed out by the Barca / Catalan Council if they were in any trouble......and if they were in trouble, the bank(s) would'nt loan them money....

About time they were brought to account.Despite the massive tv deals Barca and Real got they still need bank loans... It's a good thing Platini is targeting PL and the "economic doping" going on in England
How can Platini criticise the PL's rich owners for spending millions when Barca and Real are spending millions they don't even have?
You'd have though Real would have learned when they had to sell the training ground.
Valencia are the worst - supposedly hundreds of millions in the red.
Nope, that one's coming down the track.
Probably less that 20m so far trapped in the TV deal.
They've got stage payments on old transfers (including Henry I think) due and after the treble the wagebill and bonuses went up more than the extra income generated. The wage bill was high again this season and revenue has probably gone down due to the problems in the Spanish economy as well as the "no treble" factor. They've got a couple of 20m+ tax bills to settle as well. It's possible that a couple of the private (low/no interest) loans are being recalled as well due to the economy.
The new president wants the debt situation to be more transparent so he's probably deliberately overstating the amount needed immediately. Throw on top of that the fact that like Madrid they like to have a "line of credit" in case any shopping opportunities come along and you want a nice loan to tap.
this is what happens when you have demagogues running football clubs
I hope the two spanish cnuts crumble to the ground. Given how fecking outrageous their spending is, its about time.
isn't this what Portsmouth did?
This is really a bad sign... if Barca can get into trouble financially after all that, any of us clubs with tons of debt can...

Be interesting to see a graph of their net assets vs Messi’s wealth over that period, I bet they’re the inverse of each otherWas looking for Barca transfer thread and then noticed they’ve been in financial trouble since this thread 12 years ago
