Elkann snubs Inter system Saturday 22 November, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus patron John Elkann fired up the rivalry ahead of tonight's game by noting, “Inter are not the club to set a good example.”

The Derby d'Italia will be the first real Scudetto battle between these sides since the Calciopoli scandal of 2006, when two Scudetti were stripped and handed to the Nerazzurri.

Ever since there have been questions over which club best represents the future of Italian football and Elkann knows who he is betting on.

“We are convinced that the cost of running the club cannot be more than 80 per cent of the income. For example, Manchester United run at 55 per cent,” said the FIAT chief.

“This is why it is necessary to develop our finances in a different way. History shows that you cannot necessarily buy a Scudetto by spending lots of money.

“For this reason, Inter are not the club to set a good example, but we certainly prefer to follow the model set by Manchester United and Lyon.”

I don't doubt that the club is in the hands of people who are sound businessmen.

There is just a lack of footballing knowledge at the club.

Of course. They view the club in a purely business sense. The immediate future, in terms of winning trophies, doesn't look good.

Would it be correct to say that Manchester United's annual income greatly exceeds Juventus' or any Italian team's annual income? What I mean to say is that Manchester United makes millions upon millions in revenue from merchandise sales, TV deals, etc... When Blanc says, "We're aiming to spend only 55% of our annual income," he's thinking of a totally different number compared to what Glazer is thinking when he says, "We're going to spend 55% of our income this year."

And Lyon? They're competing against teams with less money than they have, and as a consequence, they do not have to spend as much of their revenue. Right?

They've got to spend money to make money. You can be frugal and stock up on Bosman transfers, but the little Chinese kid is always going to buy the Ronaldinho jersey instead of the Salihamidzic one.
