Look at the Pjanic-Artur swap, or the Sturaro selling. It is obviously fraudulent, which means, out of intent. If this was legal, why weren't 100M operations done with amateur unknown players? Why bother doing it with known players? It doesnt work like that. You dont sell a U$1 pen for 100M, using a "loophole" of law, and benefit from the accounting of it. It's fraudulent because it makes up operations that didn't really take place, and that artificially change the value of the club.
Of course doing this shit is illegal. It serves for an illegal purpose (artificially manipulating the accounting numbers) At least for civil concerns.
Now, what I agree is that the punishment does seem shady, as it was apparently pulled out of nowhere. It actually does reminds of the calciopoli process, where the punishment was also arbitrary. This would certainly warrant civil punishment for the company, but it probably shouldn't be punishable on the sportive end. I don't know.
My point is management was blatant in using this method, clearly cooking the books with huge operations, giving a pretext for the Italian system to fuck them up.
So yes, they set themselves up for the system to find a reason to fuck them up. Given the club's history, they should be extra careful with this stuff.
It's all on Agnelli & co.
It’s still money that has been paid
Other clubs (Cessna and Chievo) did it with fictional players; got punished a lot less
There are no rules who describe what a players value is
Other clubs did the exacte same
Looking to the total revenue, we did it less than Inter, Roma and Napoli
Napoli had a youth player in the Osimhen deal who never went to France
We can inflate all the fuck we want like everyone does, Google ‘plusvalenza Inter’ and learn how many times they safed their FFP duties by doing that.
But no in Italy this club gets punished because we did it purposefully, probably all the other clubs made some accidental profit. “Oops, 20m plusvalenza. Did not mean that”
The league can fuck off. I’m quite sure that they’ll remove the plusvalenza punishment eventually. More worried about the wage cases.
But for me personally; years I hoped that the Serie A would make a strong comeback, but for now I got slapped with reality. It’s Juve and only Juve. I hope that we stop buying players from any other league clubs, get the gems while they’re young for the NextGen and stop sponsoring the others. It’s a system that’s working against us, I don’t believe those fake scandals anymore. From ‘06 to Conte in 2012, to Suarez and now this. Always the media boom surrounding it. What happened with Milan when their Indonesian (or whatever the guy was) bought half of the world without having money.
If Pjanic was a bench sitter at United nobody would’ve cried if he left for 60m, if we sell him after a room full of trophies the world almost ends.
Agnelli can suck his own eyebrow aswel indeed but that doesn’t mean that I don’t think that we’re getting treated unrightfully
