Why Athletico Madrid shouldnt be 'the peoples team'

I know I know its goal but still a good read
I always knew they had money problems going back to when they sold Torres, and they always just buy another big name striker to replace which was stupid imo(financially).
But 6 players!
This takes the Southern European 'relaxed' mantra to another level.

Following relegation, they simply stopped paying their taxes for two years. In that way they avoided around €46 million (£37.7m)

it was found that only six players on their first-team books were owned outright by the club.

Why debt-ridden Atletico Madrid should not be considered a team of the people
i do not believe any team is/can be a "team of the people". what are we talking about? communist teams or something?
quote:
It was apparent that Atletico were unable to fund the deal themselves and so the Doyen Sports Group - a hedge fund - reportedly picked up around 50% of the fee.
Falcao may well have enjoyed his best years at Atletico but they never deserved to have him. They could not afford it from within their means
this article is fricking retarded. what american honestly gives a frick?

What's more American than living beyond your means?

How about te fact that they were actually Franco's team? And they suck ;-)

Well, they were Franco's team to begin with...then he began singing Real's praises.
