What on earth did the previous regime do for such a sucessful club like that to be in such a dire economic situation? They really fecked the club over hard.
They shit the bed with Messi in particular, they paid him 555,237,000€ over the course of that contract.
Absolutely mind blowing numbers that some total numpties in the Messi thread tried convincing everyone he was worth because he brought in so much money, which was utterly nonsensical of course.
Coutinho, Griezmann, Dembele deals were all made in desperation due to being made to feel “small” by PSG over Neymar. De Jong’s contract is also clearly a problem.
And of course, the pandemic.
They have gotten rid of the Coutinho problem, Dembele’s contract has now run down, Griezmann is still an issue I guess? I really think they have to sell De Jong and then try to deal with the Griezmann issue by giving him away. Can’t see them getting any fee now. Would Atletico even want him on a free?
