Summer mercato 2012

[Hasan Rossonero]

Hasan, as you probably know our situation with gaining ownership of San Siro better than me (you certainly have a better understanding of the Legge Crimi Law), what do you think our chances of buying out the San Siro are, especially if the rumours of Inter building their own stadium are true?

I think rumours of Inter moving to a new stadium are actually very credible this time. Moratti is serious, it seems.

Legge Crimi remains blocked. Very frustrating. If the law were to be passed--surely a nightmare for these grotesque city councils--Milan could buy San Siro for a nominal fee and then work on it. That is what the law I believe stipulates: clubs have the option to buy out their stadium for a nominal fee from the city council.

I think if the law is passed, IMO, Berlusconi and Galliani will go for the San Siro rather than build a new stadium. However, the law being passed may take a long time (awesome, isn't it!), and that is why I think Berlu and Galliani are exploring other options. At first I thought Makhtoum was just a rumour, but it's everywhere now. There has to be a kernel of truth here.

To my pleasant surprise, my article on Legge Crimi http://www.notevenanoriundo.com/2011/08/...crimi.html has been very popular on the internet. People who don't or can't read Italian also genuinely want to know what is happening with this law.

Here are some other articles on what clubs are doing in response to the law being blocked (many you have probably seen these): http://www.notevenanoriundo.com/2011/10/...legge.html

Roma, Catania, Inter, and Napoli seem the most serious about building a stadium.
