FML, Champions League 2009/2010 FML (13 Viewers)

Why didn't anyone listen to Galliani all these years.
The bald head is talking non-stop for years about the stadiums problem, about the taxes problem. He's talking and no-one's doing anything to help Italian football.
They will only pop up to cry over the spoiled milk.

“The problem is the stadiums. Other nations had tournaments recently and revamped their arenas, as it changes the type of fan you get and the income,” insisted Galliani.

“Unfortunately in Italy the councils still own the stadiums and insist on keeping it that way. I wish I'd made this statement after a win and not a 4-0 defeat, as the point remains the same. We need to revamp the stadiums. I don't know how long it will take.

“We have remained the same, it's everyone else who has changed. Just think that in Bologna, Bergamo and several others we still have stadiums from the 1920s with open stands and nobody for some reason is allowed to change them.

“If Milan had 100m Euros more per season then we'd build a squad like this, too.”

Galliani has repeatedly called for changes to the structure of Italian football, starting from clubs building their own stadiums and the individual sale of television rights.

“Real Madrid and Barcelona buy everyone because they do not have to share the income from their television rights, whereas in Italy we have to spread the wealth with the smaller clubs.”

yes because of injury, but he was amazing in last 5 games for Lyon, and he will be in france squad in WC 100% no doubt

 

[Firestarter]

As long as one of those goddamn English clubs doesn't win it, I'll be happy.

That's all that needs to be said.

Like we were any different this offseason?

 

[Hust]

Did we spend 100m on one player, Swag?

Did we spend 100m on one player, Swag?

No, but we had the second biggest spending spree in all of Europe next to Real Madrid over the summer.

 

[Hust]

Did we inflate the market though?

 

[swag]

I just don't want to be throwing stones in glass houses over failure, because Real Madrid's failures pale in comparison to ours this season.

Forza Stuttgart. Forza Molinaro

Both Galiani and berlusconi are greedy bastards, Why don't they build their own stadium if they think that the current one is really shit ?!

Milan has been winning the champions league for years now plus they've been selling their players for record breaking :money: , where did all that money go ?!

All what galiani care about is milan and not serie A.

“Real Madrid and Barcelona buy everyone because they do not have to share the income from their television rights, whereas in Italy we have to spread the wealth with the smaller clubs.”

in another words, fuck the rest of the italian clubs all what he wants is milan with a bigger budget. And by the way, Italian clubs were negotiating their own T.V deals "individually" for years and years just like Barca and Madrid why didn't they dominate in the past 6-7 years then ?!

“The problem is the stadiums. Other nations had tournaments recently and revamped their arenas, as it changes the type of fan you get and the income,” insisted Galliani.[/B]

The guy is waiting for italy to host some major tournament (2016 euro's ) so that the government will spend money from its own pocket to fix their stadiums. He just doesn't want milan to spend a cent "from it own money" on their stadium thats all.

He can blame the governement, the FIGC or whoever for the current state of Italian clubs (and yes they can be blamed partially for that) but its the club owners themselves who really fucked up big time. Clubs like Fiorentina and napoli went bankrupt, Lazio-roma-parma... these clubs that were dominating in European competitions had major Debts crisis and they're yet to recover from it. The most successful club in the history of italy "juve" were sent to serie B and their directors are banned.

How do anyone expects a league that was hammered with all these crisis to win or dominate in Europe ?!

Galiani reminds me of the people in the middle-east, they've been blaming the U.S and the western countries for their crisis for years and years yet they never look at themselves and think that "maybe" we're the ones who fucked up and we should blame ourselves rather than blame everyone else for our problems....

 

[Salvo]

they deserve this for building a squad full of egocentric players.

Until-

A) The Italian Football Federation does something about not allowing contracts to be offered to anyone under 18, to prevent the constant poaching from the youth academies, and


B) These teams finally man up and build their own stadiums, with their own money, so that they can build a revenue stream sufficient to retain and acquire talent year in and year out,


Get used to this. Once Italy loses that 4th spot to Germany, good luck getting it back. Or do people think that all of those new stadia that were built for the world cup are suddenly going to get old overnight, and their revenue sources are going to dry up?


When the future of Italian football basically rests on the shoulders of a Ghanian immigrant, it just goes to show just how dismal the youth academies are in Italy, with the exception of, ironically, Inter.

I don't know what is more troubling, the results of the Italian teams in Euorpe, or the blind eye being cast by the football federation.

But hey. Some people are resigned to be cool with the fact that Serie A is going to lose that precious 4th CL spot, because they think that it will be a wake up call.

Hey, it just might be, but it could take decades to get that 4th spot back, and by that point, Serie A will be on par with Ligue 1, if we are lucky.

How is that relevant? He was adopted at the bloody age of 3.

Not gonna happen IMO. It's gonna be "yet again" an all english final with all 3 premier clubs in the semi-final. The only "real" team out there (other than premier league clubs) is barca. And even Barca are struggling right now.

My guess, arsenal-united for the final this year.....
