They can make a million a year with their club in Holland, but they can make 4,5,6 or even more per year abroad. It's not that our clubs don't have that kind of money, they simply don't pay salaries that insane high. The Spanish and Italians spent money they don't even have,and most owe a truckload of money to the bank. That's impossible overhere, if a club has a debt of more than, let's say, 10 million €, it will go bankrupt if a solution is not found instantly. Overhere it's like "no money=no right of existance"

And so every above average player from here seeks his fortune abroad. that's why you find Dutch players i never even heard of in the German, English, Spanish, and Italian leagues, and our coaches are employed in all the corners of the world.
So Italian Clubs have problems like the Spanish ones? I know Real Madrid is dead broke and yet they still sign good players with truckloads of money. This is what I do not get really... PSV I'd reckon can beat them and their payroll is what, half of Real's? Hehehe Sorry don't know money talks with this.
