Spanish Footy

Whilst I was out and about last night I listened to a prog on the World Service called world football... not a bad prog if you can stand Alan Green's voice....

anyway they were on about the Spanish.... apparently the top flight are in debt to the tune of $4.3 billion.... Atletico Madrid apparently owe the tax man $177million....

Amazing numbers and I would guess watch out for bankruptcies pretty soon....

Oh yeah they also talked about TV rights in Spain where the two usual suspects get bout 50pct of the TV money between them... Barca got $200mn Real $195mn whilst the third team Valencia got just $50mn.... The smaller teams have said they want more and expect to get it...

Things are going to be changing over there
