FC Bayern Forum

It takes a more critical eye to see the real picture. Football clubs, just like companies, do not always tell the whole story to avoid showing embarrassing situations.

What the Deloitte report does not say is debt is an important indicator of actual wealth. FC Bayern has no debt at all, while Real Madrid owes more than € 750 millions to its creditors. Barcelona owes € 530 millions and Manchester United € 510 millions.

What Deloitte also omits is that most of PSG’s commercial revenue comes from a “sponsorship deal” signed by the Qatar Tourism Authority, an organization that is close to owner Qatar Investment Authority…

Translation? Three clubs that have more revenue than Bayern are not as financially healthy since their balance sheets are loaded with debt. Another one has a bogus commercial deal to make its revenue larger.

This leaves the Bavarian club as the only clean financial operation in the top five, making it the healthiest in football. It may not top glamorous reports, but it gets the job done.

Finance is complex, many factors influence a balance sheet and simplistic rankings do not reflect that.

This is really bad for the dressing room atmosphere.

I really hope the mole is caught ASAP, and once (if) he is, would immediately have his contract cancelled, no matter who this may be.

On the Pep thread people are worried about what is happening with Pep but this is far more serious in my opinion. Chances are that this mole will remain when Ancelotti is head coach next season. I wonder who this disgruntled player is.

I don't believe that he is one of the players... no way... who can it be ? There is not a single one who is potentially sad of no playing time...
Maybe you can say Rode ... hell not he is not the type...
I believe that it is one of the staff - especially those from the media department.

Kicker made the first story, Bild and TZ have now named some players Pep is disappointed with. The press have their sources at Säbener Strasse.

Kicker say it was a player who leaked the information.
