I did misread but it is the same thing. They cannot register the players until La Liga gives them the go-ahead but that will happen, even if they need another lever.Sorry but I think you misread when I said “playing” for “paying”
my point was that they can buy all the players they want, they won’t be able to play them if they can’t register them.
any team could do what they did, sell off valuable bits of business and then piss it up the wall on multiple transfers rather than working on a sustainable plan to get out of the financial mess theyre in. It’s not a “schooling” moment as you were indicating
As for selling off bits of the business, it is partly true but they also have a great new stadium on the way and as we know success is equal to more money in football.
One of the things they sold was their merchandising company i.e they were making money off their shirts which United have never done. They still retain a controlling stake and an option to buy it back later, so it's effectively a loan.
If we want to talk about sustainability, the fact we have an old and increasingly small stadium is a much bigger issue.
In any case, Barcelona are operated like a proper football club. Not always prudent but they prioritise the sporting side while we're happy the Glazers are not spending over their means.
