  1. > In zijn eerste voorontwerp legde de minister een belastingvoordeelplafond van 4 miljoen euro op per club, daardoor zouden de 6 topclubs samen 37 miljoen euro per jaar verliezen.

    > De minister doet dat in zijn nieuwe voorstel maal 3, tot 12 miljoen euro. Enkel Anderlecht zou – gekeken naar de inkomsten van 2019-2020 – zo nog 3 miljoen verliezen.

    What kind of weasel politics is this? Will anything change at all?

  2. Completely absurd. Billion dollar industry with wages through the roof which need subsidies to survive for some reason. Club Brugge tried going to the stock market to raise funds, Anderlecht’s finances have been questionable at the very least, and big players like Barcelona on the verge of bankruptcy. It’s clear they’re all in way over their head. Just let the house of cards fall down and rebuild once the dust settles.

  3. FFS, This was supposed to be like shooting fish in a barrel. More tax money? check. Free votes because popular with the electorate? check. More equality? check. Less bureaucracy? check.

    How the fuck do politicians manage to fuck up everything so badly?

  4. We are talking about soccer only, but what about other sports. Do they get the same benefits??? Our gold medals at the olympics….ah yes they get 50000 euro, but wait half goes back to the state…nicely done.

  5. > “Dit is failliet van onze sector”: Belgische topclubs schieten fiscaal voorontwerp af

    Good. Dag en bedankt. We’re better of without you.
