A study reveals the solidity of the model of income of the Barça

Although the main competition between the big European clubs is situated on the lawn, in the dispatches also there is a career to see which are the entities that manage better, in particular regarding the economy. In this sense, the FC Barcelona has showed to be all an example, with a very balanced model.

Taking data of the balances of the season 2015-16, KPMG Football Benchmark has made a study on the income of the diverse teams, descartando the sportive transmissions, with an average of 45% of the finance, and centring in the rest of roads that contribute them profits.

Sponsorships, commercial activities, exploitation of the stadiums or sale of entrances are some of the points taken into account in this particular classification, that signals once again the good do of the Bundesliga. Comparing with the global balance, the Bayern of Munich would go up a place (would remain second), the Borussia Dortmund one and the Schalke four.

There would be changes in the Premier, that would keep to the Manchester United as first and until four teams in the Top10, but yes in LaLiga, in which only the Barça would keep the type. The Barcelona would continue in the third position of the table, whereas Real Madrid and Athletic show his greater dependency of the television income. The whites would fall three squares (of the second to the fifth) and the 'colchoneros' six.

In the case of the rojiblancos, besides, extracts that his gains depend in excess of the sportive attainments, that have shined in the last seasons thanks to his good performance in LaLiga or in the Champions. Although it can seem a good system, and in fact is it, a bad campaign could penalise in excesses to the balances of the club.

Question of percentages

Another of the points of the study is the comparative between the percentage that suppose the no corresponding income to television rights with the total of the profits, and in this appearance stand out two teams, Bayern and PSG, that attain 75% of his gains in agreements moved away of the transmissions. Although in the case of the Bavarians the German market is the key, is not so clear the management of the Parisians, to which LaLiga has accused of doping financieron by his agreements of sponsorship of doubtful origin.

They stand out also in the classification Manchester United (73%), Dortmund (71%) and Barcelona (68%), that attain not depending so much of the television income. Although the Real Madrid low until 60%, in the last years has worked in this appearance, reaching in his last accounts 76%.

In definite, KPMG signals that the best model of sustainable management is the one who combines all the sources of income in his just measure, attaining a growth balanced between the varied flows of profits. The television rights are an important mainstay, but does not have to be the only.
