Wallace Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've heard reporters speculating that Falcao is only going to Monaco so that he can move to Real Madrid in a years time. I guess if there is some truth in that then it might be easier to move on from Monaco than one of the other clubs that have been after him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been banging the hattricks for Real Madrid like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 @sportingintel Monaco's latest available accs (2011-12) showed income €21m, exes €48.2m (of which €31.5m wages). Summer 2013 transfer spend already: €121m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer 2013 transfer spend already: €121m Well I can promise you those income won't be accurate come next season, people tend to forget that better players brings more sponsorships and makes the club more attractive for the general fans visiting Monaco. I have no doubt their economy will go backwards for many years just like City, Chelsea, PSG but at the same time it's shown that you can buy success...

What I said is that their income won't be as bad as they'll get more income. They'll still have a negative turnover for many many years to come, but there's no way they'll have a mere €21m in income.

Cajun Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 So what's this Monaco thing then? They're rich now? Yep and they don't pay tax where as France has a very high tax rate so if someone like Marseille wanted to 'match' the wages Monaco are giving a player they would have to pay them something like 70% more.

If the top tax tier is indeed now over 70%, that means other clubs will roughly have to pay over 3 times as much (gross) to give a player the same nett income, doesn't it?

It really is ridiculous when you think about it. Imagine Aubameyang for example on 30k per week at St Etienne, leaving him 10k or so after taxes. They could come in and offer him 12.5k and that would be an attractive offer. You can see why other clubs don't want them in their championship, although I don't think this is a new problem. It just got worse with the ridiculous top tier tax increase. 75% for crying out loud. I would be heading abroad tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 What a pathetic human being Falcao is. He will regret it when he looks back on his career and realise he's achieved pretty much nothing. Yeah, pathetic man for wanting more money while also being part of an interesting project. I bet you wouldn't leave your job for a better paid one if you got the chance would you? Yeah I would, then again I'm not doing what I love for my job and getting paid a ridiculous amount to do so. Falcao's transfer movements are controlled by his agents.

ponsaelius Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 By doing a bit of a crude research, based on last season's stats there are at least 392 clubs in UEFA countries with bigger attendances than Monaco. That includes 33 in France. and 69 (!) in England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that means the Russian president buying half the tickets for himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Oscar Cardozo transfer listed apparently. Such a shame. 261 games, 161 goals, 33 goals in european games. Hope it's bollocks or nobody offers more than 10M€ for him. Legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
