The Atletico Madrid general manager did not appreciate the way revenues are shared amongst Spanish top flight clubs with Real Madrid and Barcelona taking a big chunk of the monies received.
News from Spanish sporting circles reveal that financial problems troubling the Iberian nation have caught up with their footballing activities. Petro-dollars backed Malaga epitomise the tip of the iceberg when taking up the wave of storms coming their way.

The Atletico Madrid administrator shared that La Liga clubs with the exception of Real Madrid and Barcelona do not concur with the current revenue sharing model in place but are forced to accept it, as the dup have Segunda Division clubs in cohort.
Gil Marin also took out his time to talk about the unethical workings of Mediapro, the television transmission giants. He did not appreciate how the corporation has taken La Liga clubs to court who have threatened to break its monopoly.
“The majority of the clubs in the Primera Division do not agree with the current model. Decisions are made by the league's assembly, and it's not fair that the Primera Division, which is responsible for 95 per cent of the income of football in this country, has done a deal with Real Madrid, Barcelona and the Segunda División," Gil Marin said.
"Real Madrid and Barcelona, both in economic and sporting terms, benefit from this model. Mr Tebas (Javier Tebas, vice president of the LFP) also benefits from the system, as he represents all the teams in the Segunda Division and he represents the operator (Mediapro) which wants to maintain the monopoly it currently enjoys."
