FC Barcelona president, Sandro Rosell has advocated today by the progressive decrease of the teams that make up the Liga BBVA, up to sixteen members, and a new system of distribution of television rights equal to that of the Premier League or Serie A.
Rosell, who presented these and other ideas for the future of the League in the 'International Football Arena', held in Zurich (Switzerland), argued that the economic viability of the competition and lower wages would be reduced to 18 teams in the first instance and 16 at the end of the process, members of the Liga, currently twenty.
In this regard, accepted that the Spanish competition goes through bad economic times and that all clubs owe money to banks, but held that the four entities that are owned by its partners, Barcelona, Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna, are "under control ". "As for the other sixteen teams, some of them are in bad position and I do not recover, maybe next year will drop to the Second or Third Division, or disappear," he ventured.
Therefore, he was reluctant to the arrival of foreign investors who buy clubs at will. " The most important thing is to reduce number of clubs and financial conditions to be met, also in terms of outsiders who buy clubs in Spain, "he said.
And it is not to your liking cases like Malaga and Racing Santander. "My question is where are we going and what happens when these clubs can raise capital without limits," he said. "They're coming to Spain and do not like, but it happens," he argued in this regard.
" FIFA and UEFA and national associations are gaining more and more money , agents and players earn more money, but the clubs lose money every year. Something is wrong with the equation, "he continued.
As regards the distribution of television rights and the relevant revenue, said that within a few years should accept a model like the English or Italian, in which two great-Barca and Real Madrid-charge more, but getting out of hand from other clubs, as an association and not free.
"The Spanish is the only league where TV rights are negotiated individually and at some point over the next four or five years, we have to put them together in the same boat and do a similar distribution to Serie A and Premier League "he said. "It's what Barca and Real Madrid are talking with the other 18 clubs," he added.
