but where has all the money gone!!!

[evilsly]

that doesn't take into accounts debts though


take debts into account and manchester united are miles ahead of anyone.

I mean Leeds 12th richest club in the world ?

yeah, right

[Fat Bloke]

I was just going to say that Real could easily be at the top of the 'Rich' list and the 'Debt' list.

Weren't they something like £200 Million in debt before they got shed loads for their training ground last year?

[jayok]

A very flawed list, it is only based on income. What about outgoings? Debt? The wagebill to income ratio? With 8 out of 20 from the EPL, it is more a reflection on Sky money.

[neil_stretton]

Also Lazio? they still owe united £9million for Stam who they r trying to flog for £4mil
Fat_bloke they sold off some of their ground or summat and got like £500 million for it :rolleyes: people and their money these days

[Sonick]

Why haven't Lazio been relegated for owing Man Utd and Valencia all this money

like they done with Fiorentina in italy and Monaco in france

[urruri]

Surely Rushden & Diamonds are the world's richest club!

[Legendary]

Aston Villa 16th richest club, HA HA HA

We can't afford to buy big or spend the money even there is no debt.

[Hoskas]

As its based on 2001/2002 you'd expect a few changes to these placings based on champs league money.


Bit higher for newcastle methinks :)

Leeds at 12? That's why they are having to sell all their players.

Was probably compiled after their good run in the CL in 2001.

It is only done on income, if you added the expenditure im sure that the list would look very, very different
