La Liga clubs should unionize and force Madrid and Barca to either accept a collective deal or get out.

Really??? Last year after winning CHL & LA Liga you quoted 20M losses. And you ahve like 300-400M debt. You are sinking in depth & the day when sporting success leaves you,you will sell your club or go the Valencia way.

How on earth you made 300M+ debt in 2 years only considering bar this year the last 2 years you made 20-40M+ losses???

I'm not sure how they'd be able to fit all the other teams on Sky Sports. It's usually Real Madrid and Barca who are given priority and it should be that way.

Lol your comments make no sense whatsoever. First off, it's actually cheaper for us to not win because of player bonuses. One of the reasons we had record profits this year is that we didn't win either the CL or La Liga, which meant we didn't have to spend a good amount of money in them (while I don't have the exact figures, I'm certain it's over 25M for both).

Most of the debt is long-term. This means it doesn't have to be paid right now, and as it is payed over the years it's becoming smaller. Not to mention that the debt is only relative to the amount of income we generate, which was also record-breaking this past season: 495,000,000 euros. It would be best to compare it to EBITDA, but I don't have that figure available.

Anyways it's pretty clear to me that you have very little understanding of the financial situation Barca finds itself in, I suggest you give these a read:
