Impressive as always. MUNICH --Bayern Munich made a record profit after tax of €23.8 million euros ($25.2 million) last season, the club announced at its annual general meeting on Friday. Bayern said they had a turnover of €523.7 million euros ($555 million) for the financial year 2014-15, slightly below that of the previous year. It's the second consecutive year that Bayern have had turnover of over half a billion euros. The club earned five million more the previous season due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup. Match income was a total of €137.6 million ($146 million) as they competed in the Champions League, German Cup and Bundesliga -- which the club won for a third straight year -- as well as friendly matches. Sponsorship and marketing provided another €113.9 million ($121 million), merchandising including jersey sales provided €101.7 million ($107.7), while domestic TV and radio contributed €58.3 million ($61.8 million). Salaries were the biggest expense at €227.3 million euros ($241 million). http://www.espnfc.us/bayern-munich/...cite-record-profits-in-annual-general-meeting
Platin partners pay around 6-8 million Euros per year. Financial details are generally speaking never revealed.
This is from a post few pages back. I'm a little bit worried about how much the new Bundesliga domestic tv rights will bring in from 15/16 onwards. La liga just signed it's first collective contract which will bring in app €1650 million per season. Thats roughly twice as much as Bundesliga current deal. Clubs like Atletico and Valencia will earn around €100 million per season, while Barca and Real should get somewhere near €160 million. Clubs that end in relegation zone will also earn significantly more (cca. 120% more than with previous deal). That's pretty decent but still way off EPL's deal, where the worst side will still pocket €130 millions. I fvcking hate EPL and realy want Bundesliga to sign a decent deal. Bundesliga needs domestic deal in ~ €1 bn region. I still don't know how it's possible that current tv deal is just €600 millions per season despite having the largest population and biggest economy in EU. How much do you guys think Bundesliga can get? Sorry if off topic and excuse my bad english.
As of today we have lifted the mistery of Bastian Schweinsteiger's transfer fee. According to Manchester United's annual report they had to write off €8 million for Schweinsteiger because he is no longer considered part of the first team. The book value of a player is usually transfer fee divided by contract length. With eight million left on the books and a three year deal, that means United paid us €12 million last summer. Solid deal.
Very impressive results once again Bayern Munich announced a record turnover of €628.8 million for the 2015-16 fiscal year on Friday. That number is more than €100m than last year's total of €523.7m, while the operating profit increased also rose 28 percent from €111.3 million to €142.5 million. Sponsorship and marketing proivided the biggest revenue source for Bayern at €169.8m, followed by merchandising at €108.2m, TV rights at €83.4, and a , a transfer surplus of €34.8m.
We need a bale Neymar Suarez type WC to get us back to top of the mountain level.. In 2013 we were the best most complete team in Europe, since then we've maintained our top 3 level. This season it feels like we're just part of the other pack looking up at the Spanish teams.....:/
Possibly one of the best Bayern sales ever. 12M for an almost finished player with huge wages (12M+), a towering personality who would cause problems when benched, a club legend (possible cause for discomfort), a player struggling to adapt to changing football & is always injured.
But we never have such a player, and I doubt we will have one anytime soon. Maybe 2013 Robbery come close, but those you listed are still better individually, plus they would come with >> 100M price tag, while we got Robbery for peanuts (considering their talents), those kinds of deal won't happen every year. Our most challenging personnel speaking is not buying a Neymar, but to properly replacing aging Lahm & Alonso who are declining quite fast. Robbery too. We got Costa and Coman but injuries and constant change of system don't help. And I told you before, our midfield, while good and have good potential for the future, is not world class at the moment. The way we played previous seasons, always overloading the centre, withe everybody playing as a midfielder, hid that problem, however this season it's becoming clearer. It's is almost impossible (and very expensive) to replace those players like-for-like, and buy a new world-class midfielder, even with Reschke's magic. Interesting summer ahead ...
how are Neymar,Suarez and Bale better individually than Ribery or Robben in their peak years? Especially Robben who if not for his injuries would have been at Messi's and Ronaldo level. We hit the jackpot with those two, the problem is you dont find those kind of players for such a low sums offten. So our FO should consider spending some money when needed because Robbery are almost retiring and Lahm and Alonso also. Lewandowski and Muller are making/will be making 15 mil a year but i dont think they deserve that kind of money because they are not game changers and depend on players like Robbery on the team for them to strive.
Yah our core and aging players are coming to a peak.. We need some top class signings in the summer to get us back on top. The fact we're still relying on robbery, Alonso and now lahm is all that needs to be said about our situation
It is true that we got lucky with Robbery transfers plus Lewa & Neuer at extremely cheap prices a youth core of Muller, Alaba, Kroos, Badstuber coming up at the same time. We never had the funds to buy an outright WC player. Neymar will cost 200-250M & PSG is probably willing. Pogba went for 110M odd. I think the only top talent available is Griezmann & he should cost atleast a 100M with huge wages. The truth is now EPL Teams are spending 120-150-180M to maintain their level. We have barely spend in the last few years. We won't get lucky with Robbery again. Unless we can spend 150M odd for a couple of seasons we will probably be back to a non-contender in Europe (Quarter Level). Currently we are well behind Madrid & Barca & are in the league of Athletico, PSG, Juventus, Chelsea, City, etc. The way EPL Clubs are spending it will be very difficult for us to make Semis after a couple of years. We won 2 CHL in a span of 35 odd years!
not that bad as you are making it to be but still the main problem with our fo was that as long we are winning the bl they are getting too relaxed and dont bother to go for big transfer,plus with our recent european success they got too comfortable and always looked for the cheaper options. We dont need to spend that much but we must know when to pull the trigger. 100 mil for neymar in todays market totally worth it,70-80 mil for hazard yes again. 110 mil for pogba NO. 60-70 mil for KDB was a no brainer, not giving 2,3 mil a year more for kroos big mistake again. We could have had Kroos,KDB today and the midfield problem for us would have been gone. And now the only problem would have been robbery replacements. Gotze facked us up pretty bad we had big hopes for him was shi t and because of his huge salary we decided against KDB. Right now we are in a difficult situation next summer we should hope reschke will strike gold in finding one or two gems and coupled with two 50-60 mil transfers we could have a good transfer summer
Kroos wanted 12M atleast & we didn't want to tweak our wage structure for him. And now he is on 20M, he would have definitely come back with another demand. He is a whore & deserves to leave. If he wanted Bayern he could have stayed for atleast 6 months & fought for a bigger contract. Besides I don't think he is worth the money - But I think Bayern should have extended Kroos way back for 8-9-10M odd instead of him being in the 4-5-6M contract for years. Start extending when people are not into expirising contracts, ensure they are paid well etc. We missed on many decent talents - We either have to go early & or we have to pay 100M - We can't Lewa type deals everywhere. For example now we have Geis & Goretzka in Schalke & if Bayern are smart pay 20-25 M this year or compete for 50-55 M next year in this crazy market. The biggest problem was not replacing players - We didn't replace any1 when Goetze left or when we lost depth players like PEH or Rode. We are playing a 4-3-3 with 5 midfielders, it is a joke, people have 7-8 midfielders with injuries n stuff. We also don't have a single CAM for variety in attack. I can't think of a top team not having a 10?
We could not do anything regarding KdB, Man City overpaid ridiculously. For Kroos I still think we could have done better. Now the most 10ive midfielder in our squad is playing at the deepest position (whenever Alonso sits out), that tells you something about our balance
Thiago has done really well this year at pulling the strings. We looked good today with Lahm playing deep and Thiago being the circulator. If lahm can keep up this level we can not have to rely on Alonso as much
What you said is true, however our centre midfield lacks balance with Thiago playing at the 6. We lacks creativity behind the striker, and at the same time more prone to counter attack, because Thiago is not great defensively, not to mention he is almost useless winning air challenge. A midfield of Lahm-Thiago is very sophisticate and it can help us control the majority of opponents, but do you really want to see it vs some big teams in Europe? Especially with Ancelotti's more conservative style.
Why didn't we launch the Fan tokens for Bayern? I am pretty sure we can find talents in our fan community who are able to do that. Can't just expecting their finance team to do the hustle. PSG barca and AC milian they all got the fan tokens. what do you guys think. Count me in!
