FC Barcelona Finances

But do you condemn the antisemitic attacks by the IDF on the semite Palestinians?

Can you keep this diarrhea outside the sport threads and use the general chat forum? Shouldn't be even me pointing that out.

Glad the club learned his lesson:

Although there was initial uncertainty, as Barça was expecting to receive half of the funds (around €22M) & as DRC wanted to present the deal publicly before transferring funds. The club has now received the money through fully regulated channels and confirmed payment guarantees for the remaining amount, paving the way for the official announcement.

Haha at least we learn something

Shouldn't joke about the promised people lad @Porque

My question is this. Is it that we can't register even with the DRC money, or is it that the deal isn't signed yet, so la Liga isn't counting that money as yet.

I 1000% disagree with this DRC deal btw, but that's a conversation for another time.

PS where was the need for proof of funds & VIP seats being 100% complete when Madrid was doing the same thing.

People forget that Perez had pulled almost every lever, laporta has, with the exception of TV rights.

No one knows anything yet, not even the club, because LaLiga still didn't inform the clubs about their ffp situation. It should happen soon. Until then, the club is relaxed and prepares for the season.
Yes, it's a shitshow Tebas and his clowns continue to do year after year, so the clubs can't plan properly and need to wait until LaLiga finishes their strange calculations a few weeks short of the end of the window. But since the clubs continue to vote for him, they want this apparently.

I am going to throw a counter point, and not to go against you or anything, but to see things from LaLiga side.

If some of the original levers were quite literally, not worth the paper they were printed on and the deals never came to fruition, would it be logical for LaLiga to therfore expect some form of proof of funds before OKing any deal towards FFP.

Of course, if you change the rule because of the failed Barcelona levers before, then this has to be applied to all LaLiga clubs going forward.

Real Madrid as far I know, constantly kept posting profits even if they were only 10m.

So with or without the Bernabeu stuff, they never were in danger of having a smaller salary cap where their payroll was higher.

They also shed some salary those years with some big earners leaving.

That's a valid point

I don't understand La Liga FFP one bit. If a club like Barcelona gets into serious short term debt, that debt will have to be paid yes or yes. It is the club's business to find ways to pay debt, not La Liga's.

If the club's plan is to spend its way back on top to generate money to recover its finances, then it is out of order for La Liga to put roadblocks in our plan. It's a completely legitimate plan for a club that is valued at 5bn plus. Since when is being risky and bold in business not allowed anymore?

Don't they have laws that deal with these issues? Insolvency laws or something like that in case a club is unable to pay creditors?

So far Barcelona paid everything on time.

Another thing. If socios are investors of the club why is their financial participation not corelated to club's financial needs. Club needs a 200m capital injection the sum will be provided by the socios. 1000 eur a member per 200.000 socios is 200m.

If the financial losses are covered by the socios then their decisions when they elect a stupid president will be far more direct on their wallet. Maybe they do a better job.

There's so many things with both La Liga and the club that don't make much sensle from a business side.

In a democracy, you do a shit job in elections, you pay for it. Higher taxes, higher interest rates from banks, the whole cohort of penalties. Cost of living goes up.
