How can Leeds make the list at number 20, with so many financial problems?


PS They did a special on this last year in WORLD SOCCER.

Im not too sure on how the ranking system works, but as far as I understand they ranked them based on how much the team is worth as a whole, and how much revenue it gains. As far as debt goes, I dont think thats taking into account, Leeds wouldnt be anywhere in the standings. By the way, we're #6, not too shabby for a club who hasnt won anything in the last 6 seasons.

List was ranked by forbes, which is all about finances. Like I said, I just think they looked at the "accounting" side of things, and not players themseves.

Nice. We are worth half $558 million. I didn't know Inter was so expensive.
