    Roma's owners pumped into the club more than 150m in the last few years and they still have negative equity. Sabatini is sucking them dry.
    They had huge sales. What are you talking about?

    Marquinhos and Lamela only made them like 60mln. They sold many others too. Pumped what?

    Owners increased Roma's equity in the last 2-3 years. Roughly about 150m worth of new shares were issued. Even with sales they wouldn't be able to afford purchases, as they are burning cash fast. Every year they can count on 40-50m loss. See the links above.

    "That figure is not the standard amount shown at the bottom of the balance sheet after all debits and credits have been taken into account"

    theres also the matter of excluding the contracts of totti and de rossi thats about 20 mil off in each period

    What's the argument here? Author pointed that Roma cumulatively recorded 98m loss in the last 2 years (p. 142 http://quote.morningstar.com/stock-...AA:ASR&ft=&d=202a0d868a5e01a97d64f78bbb39b037), while FFP allows only 45m spread over the last 3 years. That alone should be enough to exclude them from all European competitions, since the fundamental rule of FFP is not fulfilled.

    Why would you exclude contracts of Totti or De Rossi?

    the argument here is the figures you are showing are not the ones used by uefa to determine the 45 mil threshold, by the author's admission.

    "A clause championed by Ernesto Paolillo, the ex-Inter CEO, allows clubs to offset some losses by not including the contracts of players contracted before June 1, 2010, as well as investments made in an organisation’s youth structure."

    They are still far bellow the minimum requirements. At least they'll get hefty fine which will set them back. While our mgmt were careful to comply with all enforced rules, Roma have completely neglected that aspect. This year another 30m loss is expected, that would mean 130m cumulatively over the last 3 years. Even if you exclude certain contracts, investment into youth, they will still fall short.

    So with their new stadium is there a chance of them going full Valencia?
    I don't think so, but they are in desperate need to raise income this season, if they want to keep their stars next summer. A good run in the CL would give them a boost, but in the long run they can't keep operating this way. They are doing it now because they believe their investment will give return, but in football such investments are always risky, because if the sporting results aren't as expected, you will most likely get operating losses, which could force you to sell out assets

    my point is the author doesnt know where they stand exactly, all he is doing is speculate on where that threshold figure might be. I think we are on the same boat as Roma.
    We're in much better position than Roma. Our wage structure is better optimized (around 60% vs 70% of income), we have positive equity (another requirement). Juve atm is close to breaking even, considering that investments projects aren't taken into account.

    They have rich owners and they aren't hesitating to invest directly into the club.

    nah the stadium will give them more income, they might surpass us in revenue
    Income from tickets, maybe. Overall they will hardly ever catch up with us. There is a gap of close to 180m between the two in terms of income.

    Roma's city or whatever has actually rejected the project for the building of the Roma stadium... Read something about it the other day. Was in italian, tho, therefore I didn't understand all the details, but that was the big deal.

    He does have.

    He's commited to spend an average of 25M (counting on revenues from sales) per season at Roma, Marotta has spent around 35M each season.

    And our salary budget is higher.

    Regarding merely transfer fees expenses, they spent around 25M per season in the past 4 years. Marotta spent an average of 35M per season in the past 5 years.

    The thing is their salary sheet, while still lower than ours, is too high for their low revenues. They simply can't afford to spend this way.
