All of his normal earnings were taxed by Hoeness. It is "just" about an additional bank account in swiss which he used to speculate at the stock market. Nobody would have found out, he himself decided to go for the option of paying all the taxes plus a fee and therefore not having any legal issues. This can be done anonymous in Germany. His lawyers who handled that for him made a mistake and now he got publicly charged. Not saying he didnt make a mistake, but some background info is always nice. | ||

He only decided for that because he knew he was going to get caught anyway. And yes you're right Steveling there's a huge amount of corruption here in the North too and a lot of people are closing their eyes to this fact. | ||

Also of course there is corruption, it is everywhere. I dont see why that should keep any north euros from critizising spanish overspending. | ||

Afaik gains from the sale of shares quoted on a Stock Exchange aren't even taxable in Greece. | ||

It is the main reason the country is in this dire situation, besides from maybe to many government employed people. Getting a little offtopic here, sorry. Anyhow. Im excited for the Audi Cup finals! | ||

![]() In terms of the rest of financial discussion about FOOTBALL matters is fine. I do agree that Real and Barca should think about the TV deals, they could still chase the best players in the world and give the other teams more money and make the league better. By keeping it all for themselves it turns people away from watching them domestically and to focus on watching them European level only. | ||

It's not "Spanish overspending" when Real pays 100M € for Bale, they have the revenues to do that if they want. They might have received a lot of help from the government in the past, but right now Real are not in a bad financial position. So all the talk about Northern European tax payers paying for Real is nonsense. | ||

For that money you could develop 50+ young talents in your own academy. | ||

It might be very, very low. | ||

Some hovering around it no doubt - Ake , Chalobah , McCheran , Feruz , Baker but i think at max on Ake and Chalobah will make it, unleses Baker Feruz and McCheran actually do something big on loan this year. | ||

It would be nice to have a more formalised system like the US has for its sports but then again, it would be too hard to organise and the 'laissez faire' attitude of football is deeply entrenched. Look at how little regard clubs outside of England are giving to FFP. | ||

The current system is that rich clubs poach players from under the noses of honest, hardworking clubs, and then piss around loaning them out for bloody ages. I understand why they do it, but it kind of sucks.

Look at how little regard clubs outside of England are giving to FFP. I like the idea, but I think this is not an A instead of B situation, but maybe more like an age dependent thing. From 14-18 (until they finished school) they could stay in a youth academy. Then 2 years or so of being loaned to minor leagues, before returning to their home club or being sold (like hummels who was sold from bayern to dortmund) Bayerns team is a nice example of what a good youth academy can achieve. | ||

So all the talk about Northern European tax payers paying for Real is nonsense. Which to me makes it harder to swallow their current behavior. They were bailed out when they were in trouble and now that the roles are reversed they seemingly do nothing in return. Hell at least share some of the tv rights to the other Spanish teams, if Man Utd and Bayern can do it why not Madrid? edit: sry venting a little ![]() | ||
