ponsaelius Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You won't know whether they're at home for the CL yet I assume? Delighted the way it has falled on two decent games at two of the biggest clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nah wont know until August if they are at home, thankfully going to see the parents for 9 days in total so have the opportunity for both games...fingers crossed! Yup, hit lucky there mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nice calendar, both Barça and Madrid had complained about how they had to play the Clásicos alongside the last rounds of the CL for a few seasons in a row, and lo and behold, they get drawn early this time around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Looks like I'm gonna see Valencia/Depor and Betis/Atletico while I'm in Spain over the summer. Assuming I won't have much trouble on tickets. Ah man, I'm dead jealous at that! Two cracking fixtures they are. I must get to the Mestalla before Valencia move (could be a while)! Plus, I'd love to go and see a game at the Riazor. To echo others on here, I too would like to see Valencia sort themselves out and pose a challenge to the 'untouchable two'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The only club that has a remote chance of achieving that is Málaga if they go full ManCity, although they have been pretty quiet this summer so far despite being in the CL. Valencia and Atlético are just too broke and don't generate enough turnover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how much I know, the president of the Spanish Football Players Union has just said to Marca that Málaga owes 35%-40% of player wages. Boom.

Shows how much I know, the president of the Spanish Football Players Union has just said to Marca that Málaga owes 35%-40% of player wages. Boom. Things are unravelling fast. Four Málaga players (unnamed as of now, although they say they are "big names") have sued the club claiming the unpaid wages. According to our sports laws, Málaga have until the end of the month to reach an agreement with them or be relegated to our third tier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Barcelona make record profit.... http://www.fcbarcelona.com/club/detail/article/surplus-of-48-8-million-euros-in-the-2011-12-season-highest-figure-in-club-history I'm sure VI will tell us whether this is correct or not...

Village Idiot Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm no expert, we'll see what people say when they pour into the accounts. The big profit figure is understandable though, the current board took a lot of writedowns in advance the past two seasons - where we had big losses - so when the FFP period started the accounts would look good. Lack of trophies has cut outlay significantly though - despite claims from our board - last season we paid €40m in player/transfer bonuses for our Liga/CL double according to some sources. We also saved a few million on Alexis' fee because he failed to make enough apps due to injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Osasuna has put up a formal complaint against Málaga in front of La Liga because of monies owed for Monreal... This, alongside Villarreal's similar complaint regarding Cazorla, could result in a transfer embargo. Some speculate that UEFA could also revoke their license to play in Europe (as happened with Mallorca a few years ago). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig-NUFC Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Marc Muniesa has torn his knee ligaments and could miss the season. Would have been a big year for him too, either at Barca or Ajax Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
