[Albion] The 'Big 6' and their losses

[Postman Pat]

This is where Real Madrid are in big big trouble their debt is becoming unmanageable

Barcelona’s is far worse.

Yet both clubs bing linked to spend 200m on Haaland

 

[Super Steve Earle]

In any business, you cut your coat according to your cloth. So if your costs are spiralling out of control resulting in losses, you slash your costs.

Meaning that on player contract renewal, or on new player recruitment, you slash the player wages. So if the so called Big 6 did that, other clubs would undoubtedly follow as a way of curbing exorbitant player wages. Market forces to the fore.

Now wouldn't that be better for professional football? Just a thought.

Spoken like a true accountant

Which is sensible in a way, because they can't afford to not be in the latter stages of the Champions League

It's less the clubs which are the problem, as I don't believe they are acting totally irrationally. It's the financial structure of football which encourages this incredible risk taking.

My only concern is these greedy wankers are going to plead poverty and therefore attempt to depress the transfer market, more so than it would have been post covid. Therefore Arsenal trying to sign Biss may offer a stupid amount, unsettling the player in the process. This is when the skill of Barber etc in keeping the player onboard as we shouldn't be allowed to be held to ransom for their fallen status.
