LA LIGA MONOPOLY

Well , happy Monday . Before I start , I wished to congralutate Datuk Lee Chong Wei for his all-out-fighting spirit against Lin Dan . Kudos to the whole team . Anyway , just now , I was flipping through the Sports section of my favourite newspaper and I saw this headline " SPREAD THE MONEY " . Now this sounded more catchy than the headline of the day .

Honestly , I ' m a big fan of Barcelona . I always love to watch them play especially against their archrival , Real Madrid . Those kind of match is known as "EL CLASSICO " and are hugely waited by global fans .
Now what do these two teams have in common ? Firstly , they are consistently placed in First and Second place in every season for the past couple of years . It was like as if they are running the whole LA LIGA .
Secondly ,  both of them are envied and despised by their Spanish peers for their almost total monopoly on money generated from sale of La Liga's TV rights .

To add on , both Real Madrid and Barcelona are world's richest club and have a solid financial management . As a result of their cash - rich bank acounts , both Barcelona and Real Madrid are able to make signings of talented players in the industry . Real Madrid is currently making a big offer to lure in Croation midfielder , Luka Modric while Barcelona had just signed Spanish leftback , Jordi Alba from Valencia for quite a lump sum . What' s their secret ?

Their secret is simple . Barca and RM always get half of the annual cash generated from TV rights , totalling about 600 million euros . This means that both will get around 300 million euros annualy . Plus ， they also draws additional incomes from their sponsors , enabling them to make high profile signings while their Spanish counterparts watch them in jealousy .

In my opinion , the way these Spanish giant run the whole system is ethically unjust and wrong . I mean , they should think more about holding discussion with their La Liga rivals on how to distribute the wealth in such a way that it will benefit the Spanish football . They should also be prepared to give up their dominant position when it comes to the annual revenues by sharing it with all the clubs . They should take a closer look at English Premier League ( EPL ) . In EPL , there are no particular team who can monopolise the the whole system of football revenues as the system are designed to protect the rights of smaller clubs against giants such as MU , Chelsea, so on .

In conclusion , there should be a major overhaul on the income distribution system . This is to ensure that every club get to taste a fair share to the La Liga 's lucrative TV deals . Whatever it is , I'm your biggest fan , FC BARCELONA .  Adios ( Goodbye ) .

SPREAD THE MONEY , AMIGOS
