Latest audit shows super club Barcelona are 442 million Euros in debt and lost 77 million Euros last year.  See Reuters report  http://af.reuters.com/article/sportsNews/idAFJOE66Q0H720100727
Even worse "20 clubs in La Liga had combined debt of 3.526 billion euros".
The price of quality!!!

There's a whole sh*tload of clubs in Europe in massive debt.

That's where all the massive transfer fees and inflated wages have taken them too.

At our current rate of profitablility we should pay off the stadium early, thereby saving an extra 20 million in interest over the term of the loan.
Man united have to pa ysomething like 46 million in interest on its depts.. per annum, before they make a dent in the principal.

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Barcelona fail to win this week - the cracks are starting to show!  Probably only a couple of weeks until the club collapses entirely.

How come there is a German club in the Red - I thought you got booted out of the Bundesliga if you were in debt?

When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

Germany does have financial fair play type rules, but they're not quite "no debt, ever" stipulations.  I think Shalke's debt came from building the Veltins-Arena at the turn of the century, which is within the Bundesliga's requirements.

Though we are off-topic.  This thread is meant to be about wild speculation and overstatement about the inevitable collapse of Barcelona.

I can't see Barca collapsing within weeks but hopefully they do before their next game vs Arsenal.

Agreed. What Barca really need is dose of Big Sam, or maybe Tony Pulis

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
