 Posted: 09:23 - 11 Jun 2009  Post subject: Cristiano Ronaldo says buenos dias to Real Madrid |
 |
|
After months of speculation it has today been confirmed that Ronaldo will indeed be leaving Manchester United and heading off to join Real Madrid. The transfer fee is reported to be in the region of £80 million. Fecking hell, I thought everyone was supposed to be skint!
Anyway, on a bright note, at least Liverpool might stand a better chance of winning some silverware next season!

It is a disgusting amount of money, however just think how many premiership players Man U can buy now. They could even buy Liverpool out and shut them down for good!!

Manchester United have confirmed they have accepted a bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's future at United has been the subject of constant speculation, with Real having trailed his signature for the last three summers.
Real president Florentino Perez has made no secret of the fact that he would like to lure Ronaldo to El Santiago Bernabeu.
The Spanish titans have now agreed an £80million offer for the Portuguese ace and United have given the World Player of the Year permission to talk to the capital club.
Ronaldo will head to the Spanish capital to hold discussions with Real and undergo a medical.
Real have already snapped up Brazilian superstar Kaka in a world-record deal, but a move for Ronaldo would significantly eclipse that figure.
"Manchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid," read a club statement.
"At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.
"Matters are expected to be concluded by 30th June. The club will not comment until further notice."

So, £139m in the space of what, three days?
Incredible.
I just hope it doesn't over inflate the market anymore than it already is.

I thought Real and United were in the top 5 of the club rich list.
On a positive note, glad the cheating scum is out of this country.

In terms of revenue Real are very rich, but they are actually in millions of euros worth of debt, but I am sure the marketing guys hat Real have it all worked out. During Beckham's time at Real he generated something like £300 million in shirt sales!

England's 20 Premier League clubs owe a total of £3.1bn in bank overdrafts, loans and other borrowings, according to the latest published financial information. The accounts for the clubs, mostly documenting the year to May, June or July 2008, show that the FA chairman, Lord Triesman, significantly underestimated football's indebtedness when he cautioned last October that debts in the sport as a whole, including the Football League and the FA itself, were at £3bn.
Manchester United and Chelsea were by far the most indebted, owing £699m and £701m respectively, Arsenal were third, with £416m debts and Liverpool, the other top four club, were understood to owe around £280m; their accounts, due to be filed at Companies House last week, are overdue.
The debts of those top four clubs, incurred in very different ways, demonstrate the extremes to which Premier League clubs' finances have been taken. United, Premier and European Champions League winners in that 2007-08 season, nevertheless made a loss of £44.8m because of the swingeing interest the club pays on its debts. United owed £699m to financial institutions because the Florida-based Glazer family, who bought the club in 2005 largely with borrowed money, then loaded their own debts on to the club. In just three years to 2008, £263m has become payable by United in interest alone.
Liverpool's debt is similar, owed by the club's holding company, and including the £185m borrowed by the north American businessmen, Tom Hicks and George Gillett, when they acquired the club in 2007.
At Chelsea, by contrast, no money is owed to banks; the entire £701m was an interest-free loan made by the club's owner, Roman Abramovich, since he bought Chelsea in 2003. The Russian oligarch has poured money in to pay for players whose wages the club would otherwise not be able to afford, in his hunger to claim football trophies. Since the accounts were published, Chelsea, partly as a response to Triesman's warning about high debt levels, announced that Abramovich had reduced his loan to £339.8m, converting the rest to shares in the club.
Arsenal is the only Premier League club that incurred significant debt to carry out long-term investment. The club borrowed £260m originally to build the new Emirates Stadium, and a further £133m to convert the old Highbury ground into flats. Arsenal have been generally admired for prudence because the Emirates, with 60,000 seats – some very expensive – generates around double the money Highbury did, but the sales of apartments have stalled in the downturn, not producing the windfall expected when property prices were booming.
The 20 clubs' accounts show that despite booming incomes, which include the first season of a record £2.7bn TV deal which runs from 2007-10, Premier League clubs increasingly rely on subsidies from the billionaires who now mostly own the clubs. Manchester United's takeover may have resulted in huge sums going out of the club in interest payments, but 15 of the 20 clubs in last season's top flight are now subsidised by owners. After Abramovich, the next highest contribution came from Mohamed Al Fayed, whose interest free loans to Fulham increased to £174m.
United's Turnover £256.2m (from 210.1m the previous year, an increase of 22%)
Gate and match-day £101.5m
TV and broadcasting £90.7m
Commercial activities £64m
Wage bill £121.1m (up from £92.3m the previous year, an increase of 31.2%)
Wages as proportion of turnover 47%
Loss before tax £44.8m
Debts £699m
Interest payable £69m
Highest paid director David Gill: £1.739m
State it's in: The still-extraordinary spectacle of the "leveraged buyout". The Glazer family bought the world's richest club in 2005, then loaded it with the costs of their own takeover, and despite the glittering success over which they have since presided, the debts have continued to mount. By 2008, a staggering £263m in interest alone had become payable, yet the capital United owe had actually grown to £699m, because some of the interest, at high rates, accumulates. These massive debts are not threatening the club financially while it remains successful, but it is painful to think of the other uses to which United's vast earnings could have been put.
