All I'm trying to say is - taxes are calculated from the nett sum.

If Mexes is pocketing 4m, then either he costs Milan 6m, or the taxes in Italy are 100% (which would mean he costs us 8m).

Can't be both

In Bosnia taxes are clearly calculated in a different way than Italy and most of Europe (or at least Sweden) and that is why there is some confusion in our calculations. Calculated according to this method you are actually paying 41% tax. The company is cashing out € 1700 but you never get to see the 700 which goes to tax.

I remember this was long discussed when Galliani first started talking about the unfair fiscal rules between Spain and Italy (25% vs 50% for the first 5 years for foreign players)

getting a little confused what is the "gross sum" then?? nett + what? how do you calculate it?

In my opinion, Berlusconi has lost the passion, and it is not helped as Galliani's incompetence. He is only good at lying and toying with the media, and giving out long and fat contracts to old champions. The craziest act was giving 5-year extension to 30+ aged players like Inzaghi, Gattuso, and Dida. In old Chinese proverb, we have a saying that one should start planning for the bad time even when currently living in a great one. Galliani should know that his way of running the club would not sustain and sooner or later, the owner would get annoyed and lose interest. He has undying passion but lacks such strategic planning, and he is tasting his own medicine now.

A funny way to see it, the problem seems to be not knowing how and when to let go. Galliani should let go of the old champions, and maybe Berlusconi should let go of the club, if he just doesn't want to spend anymore.

6.What makes you so sure that Foreign investors want to invest in Italian clubs???
The Italian clubs are not so attractive for foreign investors. They don't posses property (stadiums) like for example the english clubs.
And who wants to invest in a club who's running on 70 mils on the minus?
