I saw a very interesting comparison yesterday:
Juventude, who beat Corinthians, have a monthly payroll of 2.5 million reais
Corinthians' two strikers, Coronado and Yuri Alberto, together earn 4 million reais a month
Neither of the two strikers were able to help Corinthians
Yes this is true but Corinthians have huge financial problems and I don't think they will be able to keep a lot of players during the winter break so don't be surprised if games like that one will continue to repeat for them until they solve the financial status or simply relegate into Serie B and start a reconstruction. Personally , I don't think the club can be saved this year so that's why I do expect a lot of players to leave and then I think the club won't have the necessary power to stay in Serie A and will relegate into Serie B and start over.
