FC Barcelona Finances

[Messigician]

Rashford makes what 300k a week

There’s a reason he’s loaned to us…

 

[Messigician]

and I don't know how it got reduced.

No stadium again

 

[TheStig]

I don't know what is so strange. Laporta lied about Barca Studios money that never camey he lied about VIP boxes, he lied about returning to CN... We would surely be in 1:1 if those things were true but they weren't so this isn't a surprise.

 

[Nazario1985]

for a president I'll rather have weasel crook than an incompetent "honest" man

 

[draconifire]

No stadium again

Doesn't make sense, though. We didn't have the stadium last season either.

This time last year, LaLiga had our salary cap at 426M.

How the fuck does it get reduced? When we had a very successful year. And revenue from "not having a stadium" should be counted in the winter transfer salary cap.

And I am not counting the "100m" VIP seats into this, that was done during the winter transfer window.

Edit: Fuck it anyways. I have no time to use brain power for this shit. Fuck Tebas & Fuck Fatporta for lying.

 

[delancey]

Rashford makes what 300k a week, so that would be almost Sevillas yearly salaries. Lmao.

This league is a joke. If they don't see things are fecked up here, then good luck. You will never attract money clubs to this league either with these idiotic rules. How the feck are you supposed to compete internationally? Tebas is taking down the league. It's embarrassing.

Money comes to money. If you have so strict rules, no money will find to this league.

Money comes to money. I agree.

 

[serghei]

Meh, this is gonna get solved after Camp Nou is back on. You can't generate revenue without a proper stadium.

2-3 years max of this shit. Say the stadium is fully done for 2027-28, we should be looking at different numbers from 28-29.

 

[Porque]

I don't want to get dragged into the Laporta great or he sucks, but the numbers are ugly and actually bad.
I expected us to be in a better shape this year, but it is worse.
We can't keep operating like this, and it seems we are putting all our eggs on the Camp Nou elevating us. I hope it works, because if by 2027/2028 we aren't within 150M from RM, I would consider it a financial failure from the board.

What other option is there bar selling Pedri or Lamine though?

We could in theory try to privatize a percentage of the women's team and/or with the Johan Cruyff as that team is both profitable and has growth potential. But even then would Tebas all this to even wholly count as income like EPL does?

Our revenues without an operating stadium is one of the highest in world football.

The whole squad is renewed bar Frenkie (which could be an issue with the salary cap shrinkage).

Bad debt from ex player wages is seemingly over.

We are finally competitive and going deep in Champions League again rather than Europa League.

Our only big issue is basically the stadium not being finished, and our board don't have the out of football business network or stature to facilitate deals outside of football, with transfers being linked with them. Like Flo and Chelsea.

 

[serghei]

There is no magical solution. The only quick and effective solution is injection of capital, that's what you do with a company who hit a major financial problem. Owners step in and fix it by putting money in it. And for us it is not possible.

 

[jamrock]

Stadium is the solution, as was stated by porque and I stated a few weeks back, we already have the high commerical revenues in the world.

Our wages are at a good place.

Our biggest issue is the stadium, just need to get that over the line.

 

[serghei]

It's not gonna be an instant recovery even with the stadium. Gonna take a bit of time as well. Don't think the revenue will spike so much in a season of Camp Nou as to get rid of all problems.

Camp Nou is key, but the easy solution is injection of capital from the owners. In our case, the club socio membership would have had to increase by a huge factor in 2021 courtesy of them electing an idiot as President.

 

[Messigician]

Doesn't make sense, though. We didn't have the stadium last season either.

Because we had various financial stims such as sold VIP seats which were able to be accounted for this season

And I’m sure the board told LALIGA we would be playing in the new stadium by now

 

[JamDav1982]

Most likely is something to do with the stadium.

Fairly sure if they say to La Liga they would have been back in stadium last season for example and La Liga allowed that to be included in the projections then they would take it back off the following seasons FFP if didnt happen.

Thats what happened with Barca Studios when money didnt arrive that had been allowd by La Liga to be include in income for following seasons.

Deco may have to get creative again this summer, because as things stand, if we don't get back into the stadium with a clean capacity of atleast 60k by next season, then replacing Frenkie and Lewandowski could get dicey.

 

[JamDav1982]

Next summer could have Christensen/Frenkie/Rashford/Lewa shaped holes in the squad and nothing coming in for it.

Even to maintain the current squad is going to cost money.
