The_Steve Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Failure to return to Ligue 1 and mounting debts partly related to their oversized and expensive Matmut Atlantique have contributed to their financial demise. This latest development means that all players under contract -- senior and youth -- will now be free to leave the club and sign elsewhere. Bordeaux's famed academy which has birthed France international players such as Aurelien Tchouameni and Jules Kounde will now shut its doors. The club has also had numerous superstars over the years such as Zinedine Zidane in the 90s https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/french-soccer-club-bordeaux-former-team-of-zinedine-zidane-give-up-pro-status-could-they-fold-next/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs make more money that way and that's all they care about nowadays as less local community engagement. OAPs a bigger percentage of the population nowadays and a lot have larger disposable incomes (no mortgages etc) and don't need the financial support, so clubs won't feel the need to support. Which would be a shame for those that genuinely struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) No different from villa, the truth is as long as someone will pay it they will do it, the even harsher truth is that someone will also spend more money at the ground and in the club shop They don't want 80 year life long fans on cheap season tickets who packs some sandwiches, drinks in his local pre game and rocks up at 2.59pm, they want day trippers who spunk a wedge of cash on a special day out All clubs are the same The difference with west ham is that it seriously wouldn't surprise me if their match day tickets end up in one of those west end show boxes that you see in the centre of the city, special discount tickets to tower of London, wicked and west ham Vs Brentford, writing was on the wall when they stuck London on the badge Edited July 26 by villa4europe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little sceptical of the figures given the source. But it poses some interesting questions about United’s finances. It would be great if some actual journalists followed this up.

I'd imagine United got more allowances because they probably lost the most from match day income of any club. But you'd hope that the FA/PL were comfortable with what they submitted. Given the PL is made up of the clubs in the league you'd expect it would already have raised concerns if they had massively overstated them compared to everyone else. I suspect talksport doing what talksport does. Can't believe it's anywhere near as extreme as they're suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) And courtesy of Swiss ramble.... @The_Steve Edit: helps if I actually listen to the content instead of just reading headlines. If they claimed 40m in 2022 that would be outrageous. Although Arsenal also claimed £2m when most claimed nothing. Everton though...
