Great source for info on the behind the scenes goings on at football clubs around the UK and Europe.
In one of the latest articles it has come to light the La Liga clubs are actually  about 1 billion euros more in dept than the EPL clubs and that 1/3 of all the EPL dept is owed by MUFC.

Really astounds me and annoys me at the same time that Man Utd can, at present, sustain servicing debts that large.

Its sad to me that Man U is in that much debt without (as I understand it) actually getting anything for the debt. I believe it is almost entirely the glazers debt to buy it that was transferred to the club?

i think the problem is, they are no longer able to sustain those debts and the penalty clauses in their loans are being triggered with higher interest rates.

Ryman League football is where it's at people.

Three for me, and two for them.

Leeds fans have been thinking that for the last few years.

I've been following Wynn since 2007 on http://addickschampionshipdiary.blogspot.com

He's a prolific blogger and his analysis and connections are first class. He travels down this way a bit - was in Aus last year. He'd be excellent for a lecture on the economics and politics of football prior to a Nix game at the bencher I reckon. Though probably not the sort of stuff to listen to to fire up a crowd right before a match.

I think he does a radio show as well so may be up for a podcast in lieu of a tour downunder.Flash_Harry2010-08-26 22:00:30
