is this tranfer rule coming into play for sure? I think it will have a negative effect on football. i like things just the way they are now there shouldnt be a need for change. with or with out that we still need a new stadium..

Yep, before the 2012-13 season this rule will be in place. Things really need to change, as money in football has become greatly inflated and pretty much every major club are in ridiculous debt, relying on their rich owners to bail them out.

Galliani can bemoan the fact this rule hurts Italian clubs, but in all honesty the Italian game can only blame itself. While English and Spanish clubs built and updated stadiums, marketed their game and made great efforts to raise the profile of their game, Italian football stagnated and never really moved with the times.
