Atlético are close to completing a deal in which the City Council of Madrid will pay the club between €320 and €350m for the land Atleti's current stadium, the Vicente Calderón, currently resides on. But even better, the club will be given La Peineta (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=40.436577,-3.59858&spn=0.006378,0.010064&t=k&om=1), a large stadium well east of Vicente Calderón, but not far from the Parque de Valdebebas, home to none other than Real Madrid's new training facilities.

Atleti will presumably use the money to restructure their finances, remodel La Peineta, but perhaps most importantly, engage in the transfer market. With the club's splurge in the transfer market this summer, and a quality youth program already in place, Atlético could once again emerge as Spain's third team.

Atlético are doing well this year and if they pick up SWP, they could start being a force.

Why? Because the government is BUYING their land?

Maybe you meant because they are just giving them money, threatning other teams, stealing other teams players etc etc... Oh Wait :rolleyes:

Historically everything was corrupt.... don't talk to me about 30-50 yrs ago with Franco because 90%+ of the members here weren't even alive!!!

Now that madrid is having the worst spell in their history no one seems to emphasize history but the galactico era and how it failed... but if we go back to winning ways, let me guess.... Franco, right? :rolleyes:

But yes Atletico becoming a force is only good for La Liga.
