Today's news (in all sections of the press, radio and television (economy, society, sports, etc.). Is none other than the announced signing of Cristiano Ronaldo by Real Madrid.
The news is not (as expected) sports. It is fundamentally economic!.
If true the figures published, the Real Madrid paid Manchester CASH! a ticket after another 95 million euros! For those who we still have in pesetas to understand the magnitude of this money are: 15.827 million pesetas. The most expensive transfer in soccer history. But these numbers are not the only astronomical. But if we enlarge the figures only need to wait before the end of the summer for Real Madrid have made all the signings expected (180 million euros in one week with the signing of Kaka and 300 million total are expected in late summer)
Several factors is that we should give pause:
- Is it moral to this signing, in the current economic situation, with the most serious economic crisis in living memory from before World War 2? Is it moral that this occurs in a society, the English, where there are 4 million unemployed? Can or should a football club to spend this amount of money when they spread the examples football club ruined by similar operations (obviously much lower)? Major football clubs such as Valencia CF (not to mention the children) are examples of great wastes beyond their strength.
- naturally Are we to assume that after the great economic failures of certain football clubs have to go with our money the government (municipalities, autonomous governments, ...) to save private entities that have been ruined with these terrible efforts, still well beyond their means? The final, and it appears that the shots are there, we have in Valencia where it seems increasingly clear that the inability to finalize outstanding payments of the new stadium of Valencia CF force to intervene to City Hall and Self-Government to convert it into a "municipal stadium." What need does the city of Valencia now spent 250 million euros in a stadium that was not raised nor was it necessary? Why do taxpayers have to pay the piper with the worst sports managers?
- If you go down a step and watched the news from the individual viewpoint of the player can continue to figur
as no longer affecting buyers and sellers clubs. Affect the buyer and the club own player, will collect 9 million annual net. Translate again: 1,594 million pesetas a year. 4 million pesetas per day or 25,000 euros per day. All this for 5 years! But that never ends. In the 2008-09 season "CR9" (trade mark Cristiano Ronaldo, number 7 is still Raul-) advertising will join 13 million euros. Rounding we find that the "poor" CR9 charge about 1.8 million per month. Yes, monthly, not yearly! On about 60,000 euros a day. " - we talk of a sporting competition on equal terms when only with the signing of a club football player spending more than the annual budget of 15 football teams? What balance can be in this competition? Is there a financial fair play, as pointed out by Michel Platini, UEFA President?
personally think is time that requires much more financial rigor efforts sporting clubs. That require financial responsibilities, administrative or criminal if the case managers. That, as it is trying unsuccessfully to the FIA \u200b\u200b(Federation Motorsports International) is affixed to cap the budgets of the clubs, which are marked limits on the salaries of athletes (as is being claimed with the top executives of the firms after the financial crash which we live.
Anyway, I think the issue will be talking about
