Pallotta just absolutely blasted Milan.

Pallotta: 'Milan lost their minds!'
By Football Italia staff

Roma President James Pallotta blasted Financial Fair Play rules, as Milan’s transfer strategy “makes zero sense. They didn’t have the money in the first place. They’re losing their minds!”

American businessman Pallotta spoke to Sirius XM FC on Thursday evening and did not hold back his opinions.

The most controversial portion of the interview was about Milan’s €210m spending spree this summer following the takeover by Yonghong Li.

“UEFA in terms of Financial Fair Play has been a complete ****show for us. We should be the poster boy for turning things around from the previous ownership.

“When you relate it to AC Milan, I have no idea what’s going on there. It makes zero sense. The amount of spending – they didn’t have the money in the first place to buy the team, as they borrowed almost €300m from some people that I know in London, at a pretty high interest rate.

“They are spending, or at least making some significant down-payments, for players and they’re going to have to pay the piper at some point down the road.

“They say it’s about qualifying for the Champions League, but that won’t be enough. When the salary seems about equal to the revenues, I don’t know what the heck is going on. That’s the only one in Serie A who are losing their minds!

“Maybe they have this grand masterplan that we’ll all figure out someday, but the rest of the teams are being somewhat rational.

“If you can explain Milan to me, because I don’t get it…”

Pallotta is great for the league. He'll be proven right.... but Roma will end up third.

I really doubt that the milan management has some kind of masterplan

And the chinese are masters at financial planning, right?

Roma really needs that self owned stadium, and how is a massive tourist attraction such as that city not generating more income

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Pallotta is spot on

Very strange what's going on with their mercato and how they are seemingly allowed to get away with it. Hopefully it does end in tatters and that disgusting club crumbles :xfinger:

Finally somebody speaks about it the guy has balls.

This is the best part:

“When you relate it to AC Milan, I have no idea what’s going on there. It makes zero sense. The amount of spending – they didn’t have the money in the first place to buy the team, as they borrowed almost €300m from some people that I know in London, at a pretty high interest rate.

If there's a huge financial source backing it all up, at least you're somewhat sure the club won't just disappear. But in this case there appears to be nothing..

 

[JuveJay]

With random Asian owners there is always the chance that they disappear overnight. They couldn't even find the guy to start with.

Too much wishful thinking, Milan are there to stay up there. They are definitely betting on the CL and it is obvious that once they get there they are to win it and they are capable to do so.

 

[Ronn]

Pallotta is right. CL money by itself does not justify this huge spending, and disrupting the wage structure. My guess is they are counting on a lot of magical things to happen exactly at the same time (shirt sale boost, crazy sponsorship deals, etc.), and that's too optimistic for Serie A.

I am not sure why you would miss on such an opportunity to take a shit on Milan. Like most everyone else here, you could easily cast yourself an expert on Milan's finances and reach the obvious conclusion that they are doomed and will soon be disbanded.
