    Real Madrid turned a net profit on transfers of 13 million from 2012/13 to 2022/23.

    After being the biggest spenders on the planet - by far - for eons. Literally a squad of galactico’s to flog.

    Think of it a bit like this… What we could have done with 15 Coutinho’s all aging at different stages….

    They replaced them all whilst tuning a profit of 13 mill.
    Selling players to buy, hasn't been all that bad for them.

    We are not alone….

    In a situation which may seem familiar to Liverpool fans, Fenway Sports Group have been criticised for turning the Boston Red Sox into “underdogs.”
    The Red Sox are one of the most iconic franchises in baseball, founded in 1901 and winners of nine World Series – more than all but two others, the New York Yankees (27) and the St Louis Cardinals (11).

    Four of those have come under FSG, who purchased the Boston outfit in 2002, but things have turned sour in recent years.

    “A lack of investment has seen them unable to compete with the likes of the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros, and they are at risk of missing the post-season tournament which leads to the World Series.”

    A mate at work was telling me about that today.
    Makes you wonder where their money is going.

    Not while they had such incredible crown jewels to sell no. But which other club has ever had an array of riches like they amassed.?

    None of them come close. Real were buying the very best players from the top leagues for decades. They were taking the best players from the very clubs you are mentioning OR fleecing them for players they held in surplus.

    It’s a unique position that Real hold Common knowledge. Their ability to sell former players for massively bigger fees is part of their legacy.

    I am scratching my head at how you can cite their mind blowing ability to break even as proof of a system that could work for anyone else - without accepting that they have feasted off that huge surplus in a market that became so hugely inflated.
