Barca in financial difficulty (Merged)

Re: Barcelona Struggling...

Garry Cook should say to Barca "we'll pay those wages if you give us Xavi".

Job done.
 
Re: Barcelona Struggling...

Why would they have been on about buying Fabregas for so long and why would they buy David Villa, if things were so bad that they can't afford the wage bill. Someone at work told me that Barca had to get an emergency loan but not for wages, shirley not.

Barcelona failed to pay their players at the end of June, club president Sandro Rosell has revealed.

Rosell, who succeeded Joan Laporta at the financially troubled Catalan outfit last week, also said a loan of about £125m had been secured to pay wages.

"We found a club in debt, with liquidity problems. At this point we have to take a loan to pay the wages of the players," he told Sport.

But Rosell said Barca can still afford Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

Barca recently sold defender Dmitro Chygrynskiy to Shakhtar Donetsk for about £12.5m to help raise much-needed funds, even though coach Pep Guardiola had been keen to keep him.

The club is not bankrupt because it generates income

They also sold Ivory Coast international Yaya Toure to Manchester City for about£20m.

However, Rosell has moved to reassure worried fans that Barca's problems are under control and that the process of securing a loan had already started under the previous board.

"The banks know that we have a business plan that will allow them to recover the money. The club is not bankrupt because it generates income," he added.

"The members shouldn't be afraid because it is under control. We must resolve this tension.

"It can be done in two ways: to have extra income, like selling Chygrynskiy, and/or taking a loan, which is what we have done.

"The previous board had already begun this process. We followed the same path - the same banks, the same target but with a different business plan. They [Laporta's board] also knew they needed this credit."

And Rosell even claimed that over 50m euros (about £41m) would still be available to spend on new players.

He's not worth £50 mil and Arsenal know it. But whatever figure Barca are willing and/or able to afford transfer fee wise , hadn't they better clear up this rumour about struggling to pay the player's wages on time first. It's going to put the likes of Fabregas right off.

Does anyone know when Barca's recently elected new president actually took up the job. His tune changing seems to have been intantaneous.

Barcelona have done some very heavy and shameless tapping up here.

I am expecting a stern word from Platini.
