once in the champions league.
Their plane crashed and they died. Too bad. If anything, Manchester United should be blamed for sending its first team on a plane with such poor conditions. Another point which proves that Real Madrid is the better club because Real Madrid provides the best facilities to its players and does not put its employee’s life at risk by having shabby transport facilities.
Another point which one Manchester United brought up was that, Real Madrid had no competition at that time and that is why Real Madrid was able to win so much. The answer to that is, so what? Real Madrid was good and hence got rewarded for it.
ManchesterUnitedwasformedabout20to30yearsbeforeReal Madrid, so it’s not Real Madrid’s fault that Manchester United could not compete with teams in Europe at that time. Manchester United consistently lost to teams in Champions League whose name I do not even know how to pronounce.
Whether that was because the English premier league was so weak that it could not prepare English teams to compete in the European League or whatever. The fact is that Manchester United was not able to impose itself on the European level even though it was formed before Real Madrid.
The only that Manchester United actually beats Real Madrid is the net worth of the club. Manchester United’s worth is somewhere above 2 billion dollars while Real Madrid’s is about 1.9 billion or something.
Manchester United is also under a debt which is about 450 million British pounds. Real Madrid has got net debt of about 470 million British pounds according to the daily mail. According to Wikipedia Real Madrid had a debt of 200 million pounds at the end of 2009-2010 season.
Real Madrid also generates more revenue per year than Manchester United which is also a big plus as Real Madrid can easily remove their debt if they use up all their revenue for the payment of their debt.
In any case, I think it is pretty clear that Real Madrid is the better club and there are many reasons for that, some of which I have described above and also in the previous reports.
Do let me know your thoughts, I read each and every comment by myself as I love to hear that the fans think about their respective clubs. I am all ears now. HALA MADRID!!!!.
real won 5 consecutive champions league in past look at last 10 years of their champions league record its worse than any other top teams instead they buy superstars who delievers them nothing take out ronaldo from your team you will have to wait another ten years to win champions league
Man Utd never bought Tevez (they loaned him and didnt take up the option to buy because of the inflated price and the excessive demands from the agent. My point exactly, yes Utd buy players like all teams but they pay what their finances allow not. Utd are not in debt because of wages or buying players they’re in debt because the owners put them in debt to buy the club. Utd are one of the best run clubs in the world there wage bill is less than 50% of the turnover which is the best of all the top clubs in the world. Barca pay more wages with Madrid in 2nd and Man City 3rd. none of these clubs could can afford the money they pay out and the money they pay Agents and Fees for players. I’ll take Utd any day over dodgey Madrid!
!Real Madrid have been bailed out of debt more times by Spanish banks. The fact remains that they live well above their means and this is why they can buy the best players. They care little about spending 80 million pounds (that they cant afford) on Ronaldo and giving him 250,000 a week in wages. This is why they have been so successful. Man City can now do the same and pay well above the going rate. You talk about Man Utd’s debt as if it’s something Utd have done to get themselves into. The fact is the club was bought and the new owners put the debt in the clubs name, effectively Utd bought themselves for the Glazers. Madrid are in debt because they over spend on players and wages, buying up the worlds best players. Everything Man Utd have won has been won from funds and players bought with money they generate and with players they produced through their own academy. Chelsea/Man City have sugar daddies that buy their success with their vast personal fortune’s. Madrid just have no regard for fair play and I have no respect for them. Like everyone else outside Madrid I have much more respect for Barca and the way they conduct their business. For me it’s manufactured and unfair success or success at any cost (even if we cant afford it) and a “someone will bail us out attitude. Despicable really
I am going to make this short:
Barcelona weakened all other spanish sides by buying out Villa, Alves, Eto’o.
They also bought huge players such as Fabregas,henry,zlatan.
Real Madrid are just able to do it on a bigger scale than anyone else and that is why some people complain.
Manchester United bought Rooney from everton the season after he scored a cracker against Chelsea.
Manchester United also bought off Ronaldo, Nani, Tevez, Berbatov, Smith.
Every team does that to the scale that its finances allows it to.
In ‘making it short’, you did not address the point at all. This is Real Madrid v. Manchester United. Don’t drag Barcelona or any other team into it. Real Madrid have been bailed out of debt multiple times by Spanish banks. Yet they continue to spend on a very large scale. Is this not living beyond your means?
Meanwhile, United, who had debt *unnecessarily imposed* on them by new owners, continue to spend only from money they generate, while also paying off the debt.
I’d say not only is United’s financial policy far better, Madrid’s policy is immoral, as it is misusing public money. Your turn to argue otherwise.
Real Madrid have not paid any tax. Their government allowed it.BTW we as british Tax payers will be bailing them out. Also real madrid were in terrible dept , sold thier training ground to Madrid LA for over £2oo Million and still use it.
