Belgian Football Season 2017-18

Post by dnina10 »

With the official regular season schedule coming out a week ago, the new season is fastly approaching. Several teams are buying players in preparation for what will be an enticing campaign coming up. I, like many, cannot wait to see who will be lifting the trophy in May, and representing Belgium in the 2018-19 European competitions.

These are numbers from Het Nieuwsblad. A very reliable newspaper when it comes to Belgian football.

This is a will not a fact. I don't know where this money come from. Larger stadium ? New sponsor ? Better merchandising ? Higher TV revenues ?
I think the answer is "no". So...

Its from their new stadium obviously. It was their businessplan to raise the budget to 45M based on projected income.

Anderlecht & Brugge could easily raise their budget to 60M if they build a new stadium.

Today kicks off the brand new season in the Jupiler Pro League, as Proximus League winners Antwerp host the defending Pro League champions Anderlecht. Quite the matchup in store for us. Who do you think will win this season? I still predict that Anderlecht will defend the title.
