No mention of the incredible advantage that the Spanish superclubs have with their tv money?
There is a saying in Spanish, what has bacon got to do with speed? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Their advantage in the TV rights revenue department is over other Spanish clubs, certainly not the likes of ManU.

I believe RM is second in the world, so logically, ManU would be first.

Totally going to use that in a conversation.

Yes, but you understand that both clubs draw tv revenue from a total pool of tv revenue from the league? I realize that Spanish clubs negotiate their deals separately but the fact is that Man U gets roughly 1/20 of the EPL tv rights (yes I understand clubs who finish up top receive a slightly higher portion) whereas Barca and Real are getting over 1/4 of the La Liga tv rights each.

If you assume that total pool of tv rights for the top 2 leagues is roughly equal (I know it's not exact), then the spanish super clubs have a huge financial advantage over any English club in Europe.
