How much does it cost, to be a top performing football club?

This is a complicated question. FC Barcelona's expenses budget for this season is 390 Mio €, while Montpellier HSC, current leader of the French League, is only 35 Mio €.

So how much does it cost to be someone? Apparently, and if clubs are to follow UEFA's guidelines about Financial Fair Game, "as much as you can earn". The key to success does not stand close to money, but to doing the right thing.


Remarkably enough, Montpellier has been reporting profits in the last seasons, while FC Barcelona has yielded nothing but losses. Barça has therefor something to learn, don't they?
