No we don't and I hope we'll get to see that filthy club along with it's fans suffocate to death.
yes we do. Roma, Lazio and Napoli arent big clubs, and will never be. the only clubs that can challenge us with their history, appeal, fanbase, revenue, and everything else are the Milanese clubs if they become what they once were. the other 3 (4 if you count Fiorentina) have the capability to last a few years but they dont have the financial strength to keep up with us in the long run

History means shit these days. Get Roma, Lazio or even fucking Udinese a sheik with unlimited funds and watch their fanbase increase.

You forget it's easy to destroy what you once built. A couple of seasons like this one and Milanese clubs will lose a lot of revenue and fans while the likes of Roma, Lazio and Napoli will keep growing. It's difficult to grow but it's easy to destroy too, don't you forget it.

Exactly.

Roma are finding partnerships with groups like Disney. While Milan are selling their team bus.

For Roma, Lazio or Napoli to surpass them Milanese clubs would need to be sucking for couple of decades. Honestly cannot see that happening.

It doesn't matter how long it will take them. As long as they do better on the pitch, the fanbase and history won't make any difference. Milanese teams are managed very badly and it will take years for them to achieve anything significant. Fanbase and revenue will decrease due to their sucking balls. Most people don't want to cheer for losers and I assure you they don't have that many hardcore fans anymore, especially with the time passing it will get worse and worse.

That's not exactly true. Both clubs have strong fanbases in Italy. Few years of bad mgt cannot change that. Same applied for Juve. While we were an utter wreck we didn't record any significant negative change in number of fans. Maybe even next season these two might challenge for the CL places and that's for better.

It's very unlikely they will challenge for it next season. They have a lot of loaned players to be bought out and they can't spend too much without CL.

At least Inter have ambition, a plan, a strategy and some money to throw around. Milan keep hiding their inferiority with band aid fixes.

Inter are signing the like of Shaqiri, Podolski, and the promising Brozovic. And holding onto their promising talents like Icardi and Kovacic.

Meanwhile, the circus signed a mediocre left back (Antonelli), a CB that played 3 matches in Russia this season (Bocchetti), a CB from the worst defending team in the league (Paletta) and a Roma bench striker (Destro) while selling their promising youngsters. (i.e. Cristante & Saponara)

How does Milan have a chance to ever getting back to the top with signings like those? There terrible. They're band aid fixes, they're all aged (bar Destro) and there's no room for improvement. There's no future with this Milan. At least Inter are showing some lifelines, Milan has flatlined IMO.

Milan will spunk €20m on the next half decent forward who becomes available (i.e. desperately wants out) whilst taking Spolli on loan from Roma and signing a right back on a free transfer from AlbinoLeffe.
