The gap between the "haves" and the "haves not" in La Liga is just giganstronormous.
 
Stop focusing on Liverpool. I know for a fact already that you obsessed with us. If i am referring to your team in any way, do not bring lfc into the equation.

Hahahahahahaha, you brought United into it, and I'm obsessed with your useless team :D :D :D
 
Heh, listing their revenue is one thing, but how much of that do they actually get to see (hai2u Glazers! While we're all getting on the Man Utd bandwagon)?
 
Figures are misleading.

Quoting revenue figures is pointless without also showing how much debt each club has etc.

Well, look at it another way...

While Valencia's commercial revenue was €23m, Schalke's was €91m! And Valencia won't close the gap w/o a sponsor.

Atlético are close to reaching an agreement w/ an unnamed Qatari company for €4m/year. Gazprom pays Schalke €15m.

The average attendance in the Bundesliga is 44,000. That makes the competition attractive for sponsors.

Don't take it literally, because it's a cup competition, but I think Barça and Real Madrid are becoming a threat to everyone.

In addition to the €84m gap, may be €100m next year, between 2nd placed Barcelona and 3rd placed Manchester United,

Most people blame TV money, and it's surely a problem, but is it the main problem?

Just to explain what I mean. Not counting broadcasting revenue, both Barça and Real Madrid generate more than Arsenal (5th)

EDIT: @migerucb - one of the few Barca supporters worth listening to. Great tweets, lots of info and he's not a ****.
 
TV rights play a huge part. I think it's better with the way it's kept in England, atleast gives the smaller clubs a chance.

La Liga is a mess anyway.

You obviously didn't understand what he meant... if you take Barca and Real's tv money out of the equation (Arsenal still keeps their's)... the big two STILL make more money. That's how powerful their commercial income is...

I wasn't commenting on that. I was just giving my thoughts on the how the TV rights are structured in England.

Ah, ok. Your comment was after mine so I thought it hd to do with it. though if you noticed... Schalke have more than three times the commercial revenue of Valenia. That has nothing to do with TV money so there are other things taken into consideration...
