140M just means more money for the clubs that sell to Madrid.

You see this with the EPL. They don't buy better players. They just pay more for players they would have bought anyways. Instead of Mangala for $20M, they pay $40M.

The bottom line is this, the way for Juve to even achieve the money that Chelsea are getting is to string together deep runs in the CL. A final here and a semi final there isn't enough. Winning the mickey mouse league we play in 45 times in a row isn't enough either.

Our appeal is getting bigger all the time and I think as a whole Serie A is on the up mostly because of our success. The market inside our league is also very different to that of Premier league were average players go for well over 10 million euros.

La Liga, Buli and the PL (just about mind you).

Serie A is improving, but still a fair way to go.
BuLiga is crap, more people are following Serie A despite its state in recent years. Soulless league. The fact that there's no consistency among other teams will prevent Germans to challenge Italians anytime soon, when it comes to domestic championship.

In Italy there are more games that will arouse the attention, games between Juve, Roma, Napoli, Inter, Milan, Fiorentina. There's rich history and political background, old feuds, illustrious teams, even crazy presidents. Serie A is on the rise again.

DP84 don't think you can say BL is soulless. EPL I agree completely soulless but I like the Buli, every match near sold out, cheap tickets and booze. What's not to like? Except Bayern running away with the league every year

It definitely provides entertainment for fans attending the game, especially since they like that style of football. Absolutely horiffic defending, almost as bad as in EPL. But for casual viewers abroad not so much. Besides Bayern and maybe Dortmund there are too many changes at the top every year. I mean Dortmund finished at the bottom half last year, Stuttgart was playing in the CL not so long ago, while now they're fighting for survival. Wolfsburg looked like they could establish themselves as one of the more consistent teams, but VW scandal hit them hard and they have been pushed aside. Apart from few teams there's no heated rivalry like in Italy. No consistency. Bayern vs Dortmund and Dortmund vs Shalke, but that's it. I mean Sampdoria vs Genoa has more tradition and background than most of derby games in Germany.

Serie A isn't the league it once was - and seriously, no league will ever come close to it from the late 80s to early 00s - but to call it a "mickey mouse" league is disgusting and very disrespectful to this team and management's achievements over the years. And you also say this at a time when the league is as competitive as its been in a long time, and when there has been general improvements in on-field quality over the past 3-4 years.

It's mickey mouse in terms of it's image and reputation, unfortunately. Shit like the Sarri/Mancini nonsense last week only exacerbates the problems with the league, Tavecchio as leader of the FIGC? Reflects badly on the league. Its production values hasn't improved any in the last decade. Still no signs of stadia improving on the main.

No doubt they don't boast the tradition that some of Italy's greatest clubs have but they still have some high profile games.

philips become Juventus' “Official Lighting” provider


Juventus and the Dutch firm seal a two-year partnership deal

In every sense of the word, Philips are set to “light up” Juventus Stadium.

The reason? The Turin-based club and the Dutch giant, a leader in the lighting sector, have signed a two-year partnership that will run until the end of the 2016/2017 season.

The multi-faceted agreement with Philips, who will become Juventus’ Official Lighting provider, will see the firm roll out its plans for innovating the interior of Juventus Stadium while benefiting from visibility rights across the club’s various PR platforms.

For example, from the coming season, the atmospheric lighting system currently found in only certain areas of the club’s hospitality zones is set to be expanded stadium-wide to contribute to the already magical match day experience at the home of the champions.

The scheduled refurbishments will not only have a striking visual effect for the fans but also improve energy efficiency and ensure simpler structural maintenance in the future.

In the words of Giorgio Ricci, Head of Global Partnerships and Corporate Revenues, "This partnership with Philips confirms Juventus’ ability to constantly pursue ground-breaking partners of international standing."

Juventus Stadium Head Francesco Gianello meanwhile described the agreement as a "seismic step forward" adding, "We are the first club in Italy to turn a football stadium into something far more spectacular."

Likewise, Phillips Lighting General manager Paolo Recrosio concluded, “We are honoured and delighted that our pioneering systems will light up the football experience of thousands of spectators in one of this sport’s most modern venues, Juventus Stadium.”
