As much of a pragmatic populist De Laurentiis he is a very effective president who is passionate about his club. He doesn't make a dime from running Napoli and he doesn't pocket the cash the club gets from selling its players. In the heat of the season I have truly hated him and his club (especially after last year's Supercoppa) but it is remarkable how far the club has come under his leadership.
There's no denying he's done a wonderful job at Napoli since buying them in 2004. Still hate him, his club and that city with a passion and I hope he dies of AIDS.
