Spain | Primera División & Copa del Rey | 2017/2018

Finally, Getafe achieved the promotion. IMO it's better option, than Tenerife

as I understand Girona is close to being taken over by City Football Group which will increase their budget to about €50 million.. However, this would be the end of the road for those dedicated, committed and enthusiastic Girona fans.. City will use them as a feeder club, to develop their young players.. it is better to stay as a club under administration with limited budget than become a feeder..

I think they are part of this City Group since a couple of seasons

as I understand, they had some association in loaning players (especially with Guardiola brothers), but they will be bought only this year by City Football Group..

any else noticed how awfully "concentrating" this season primera is?

Madrid, Catalunya, Basque country, Valencia, Andalucia and Galicia and that's it...oh, and Las Palmas...

have a look at the wiki map of primera and compare it to segunda, where there is a far more wide and homogeneous dispersion

[hari]

interesting still no representatives from La Rioja, Cantabria, Extremadura and from Balearic Islands..

[Rack]

Yes, only 7 of the 17 communities represented in La Liga.

[hari]

and four of them including the big Extremadura don't have representatives in the top two leagues..

my friend from Badajoz enjoys and celebrates, that they are back to Segunda B. Extremadura is not that big in population (only 12th autonomous community in Spain, and easily the poorest in GDP).

Are there any information about the La Liga teams budgets? I'm interested about how low is ours compared to the others.

Tv incomes like above. beside this we used to have like 5-7 millions from tickets sales, a laughable 2 million from merchandising, something similar from estrela galicia as shirt sponsor and we sold Lucas Hero P.

Angel Maria Villar arrested with his son and vice Lendoiro was super-lucky.

What does the draw do exactly here? I mean since everybody plays everybody else what is the purpose of the "draw" as such. I mean I am assuming by draw you mean something like somebody pulls something out of a pot(like CL draw).

[Filip]

Very hard last 4 games, if points are needed...

actually... we need many many points right from the start: we get all the easy fixtures first (RM aside) and then take on all the big names almost in a row.
