The need for legal advice
If any market has not suffered the famous crisis, it is the professional football market. Indeed, from 2007 to the current year 2019 we cannot lose sight of the fact that workers (soccer players) in the professional football sector have guaranteed minimum economic rights in the form of a professional minimum wage that can be guaranteed in no other sector. Players from teams that compete in LA LIGA have not suffered from the crisis, since there is a controlled market with many rights for workers in the sector. Now, this implies that the managers and owners of the clubs and commercial companies that operate in this market can do what they fly. In other words, LA LIGA guarantees economic rights that clubs with a franchise in this competition charge yes or yes, and based on these economic rights, LA LIGA allows a salary limit to pay players and other expenses.
It may seem easy to have a balanced budget, but the general contemporary culture shows that citizens do not know how to manage their individual wealth, and as businessmen we have seen that the great crisis curiously came about due to a "bloated bank budget", since many people They have thought and still think that you can live on credits and loans, when reality implies that economic life will always depend on the real income that comes in.
We return to the "star" case of this sports season: Reus Deportiu in the Second Division A has suffered economic problems motivated by having the headquarters in a city with a stadium with less than 4,000 seats, with a small social mass, with an almost non-existent sale of shirts, where they have no sponsor and with the lowest salary limit, logically, in the category. Now, if the club has received a certain number of euros in 3 seasons in Second Division A (we put down about 6 million per season) and has a debt of almost another 6 million, without a doubt, the economic situation is irreversible and if LA LIGA It limits the source of possible income, and does not allow you to register the franchise player who could have dragged advertising campaigns and movement to the social mass, without a doubt, together they have achieved a situation of maximum complexity.
With good legal advice, it could surely have been possible not to cross the line that limits entering the problem or staying at the gates. In any case, LA LIGA has shown a strong hand with the red-and-black team, and it has not helped much that the workers (players) have not wanted to collect from LA LIGA's economic fund and force the collection of the businessman who owns the club. The players have the right to collect and can choose whether to collect from LA LIGA or the club or to be released, and thus we have seen that some players have been released and have not been paid, for the time being.
