In the presentation of the economic report on the movements of the summer market for the period 2023/2024, Thebes He breaks down the “two opposing models” that exist in Europe.
“We see two clear models. A sustainable one, where we are, with the German Bundesliga, and another with losses in the English, Italian and French Leagues. In the ‘Premier’, for example, the shareholders and patrons are allowed to put money and assume losses. In the Spanish League, the clubs chose a German-type model and UEFA also likes that model, but the model of unlimited losses can be used and accepted as long as they are covered by the owner. That will be Arab sheikhs and American magnates. We have questions about it, but most clubs do not like that model,” he said.
Thebes He made sure he wouldn’t end up losing a championship because “there’s a bad ending.”
“We lived it from 2008 to 2013. We defend a model that protects those clubs that are not Sports Public Limited Companies such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic Club de Bilbao and Osasuna. If you open the model in defeat, these clubs do not have shareholders who can put in capital and after a while they will lose competition in the national competition,” he said.
“Commercially the ‘Premier’ is above the Bundesliga and us but that difference does not mean that we can understand it investing at that level. We are working on a study to find out how much of all the signings are a waste. We will try to see the history of the players from when they were signed to where they ended up,” he concluded.
