Losing CL places slowly, but surely? They have 3 CL places and it won't change for a while.

You're aware Portugal isn't that far behind Italy right? Their two top performing teams tend to make it further in both European competitions then Italy's contingent year on year.

Hard to see any properly big investors taking over any Serie A clubs right now. Not with the state it's in right now.

Think about it, if it were your money would you rather invest in a league on the up/already at the highest level or one where star players are snapped up by foreign clubs year after year, stadium ownership is a taboo subject, racism and hooliganism is still rampant and CL spots are decreasing slowly but surely?

Trust me, I want it to happen, but it won't until the right foundations are put in place which ain't gonna happen any time soon.

True.I just said i wished for it but i know it wouldnt happen unless that said foreign owner has some sort of Italian background.

Losing CL places slowly, but surely? They have 3 CL places and it won't change for a while. There's a massive gap between 3rd and 4th place, but also significant one between 6th and 7th, the latter guaranties only 2 places in the CL. Italians even in the current state cannot lose the 3rd CL spot.

The 3rd CL team if i am correct should go through two qualifying phases in the CL playoffs if Italy go behind Portugal so yeah,thats a huge disadvantage.

Especially after 2009 season will be removed

Udinese are making the effort at least, and if Roma's stadium plans get the go ahead (maybe they have already?), then things may well start to take shape.

The two Milanese clubs need to get their acts together though.

You're aware that once the season 2010/11 isn't accounted for, and that will be after next season, Portugal will be far behind. Regardless what I'm saying here is that Italy won't drop bellow 6th place and therefore can't lose 3rd spot in the CL.

That I did not know, I stand corrected.

On Milan, is Berlusconi really gonna loosen his grip on the club?

Lazio, any inkling who these Russian investors are?

I read there is some mining mogul interested in buying them, don't know what his net worth is or his intentions regarding investment & stadium development are though?

Many rich people are interested to buy Milan but Silvio is not selling ATM, while Cagliari is already for sale and lazio's president are not willing to sell the club, fucker earns a lot of money by offloading best players and doesn't invest in the new transfers at all

Shows what a lack in ambition a lot of these owners have.

That's only one round more and those teams they might face are relatively weak, shouldn't be a problem to get past those.

Petkovic won coppa di italia for him and asked for improvements for the next season and they gave him biglia and youngster Anderson.....

Every oil club in this day should work towards self-sustainability.Thats what PSG are doing as are Chelsea and others.So please stop this myth that that they'll leave the clubs in misery once they have something else to play with.

If you dont think PSG's investments is not helping Ligue 1 in the long term ,then you're literally being blind here for someone who has good grasp of finances.Just the TV deal alone is giving a massive boost for the league.Its like 10x the previous deal before the Qatari's arrived.

It'd be a myth if it didn't happen already, Malaga for instance. You can only assume that it won't happen in the future and so do I, but if that kind of scenario does occur, clubs will struggle to maintain the current level and probably will have to sell assets. It is better that some serious businessman takes over, the one who managed to build something from the scratch, as that guy is likely to value his investment more and will prefer with reasonable investing and growth to achieve sustainable model.

when you consider the team and status Lazio had during the late nineties and early 00's compared to today. They can't even get a consistent shirt sponsor ffs.

Guess the same can be said for most Italian clubs though

 

[Zacheryah]

The issue with oilteams is, that PSG and Monaco, actually got a vision on how they'll first get a very competitive team, and now how they can improve that team and work towards beeing self sustained

Riccardo Montolivo and Ciro Immobile take advantage of a break in World Cup preparations to get married.

Now that`s not disturbing at all... :gheyfight:

So Parma die?

 

[Elvin]

I'd pay to hear Galliani's comments if they were to go to Europe instead of Parma lol

"there is no Europe without Milan Scudetto"
