Man City's owners have more money than sense. How can they not be the richest?

Los Merengues lead the rich list as they generated a massive €366 million during season 2007-08. Manchester United are second with €325m while Barcelona are ranked third with an income of €309m for the same period.

Because the list is based on income not net profit or how much the owners have to spend.

Manchester United though have probably the largest debt in europe, so the fact they 2nd with net proft doesnt mean much.

Yes, but their revenue grew the fastest, and the only reason they weren't top is because of the pounds slide against the euro - thus favoring Real MAdrid for a fourth consecutive year.

It's not net profit its only revenue. The list doesn't consider expenses at all. Which is why its totally flawed.

What is the definition of "richest"? Is the club with the most finances available or the club that has accumulated the most profits over the last few years. A definition is needed before making statements.

LoL - who is making statements?
Its posted on every footballing site in the world. Maybe you should email them and tell them to stop making statements :D

You can't say this and that club are the richest if there is no definition of what richest means.

Il Corriere Dello Sport has released the figures from Deloitte
Maybe Deloitte just made it up.

You're missing the point. I'm not disputing it. I'm asking what the definition for the richest club is.

Try researching the topic if you really want to know.

Thanks, I managed to find out what I wanted to know. They mention all of it. Was better than asking a few people here who knew nothing about it :p
