Summer Mercato 2011

[Hasan Rossonero]

Well that's true Hassan Minus the big two in spain the rest earn far less than average Serie A team


Also, the other issue is the San Siro. Bayern (for ex.) earns money through there stadium on non-football related events too. But what we lose in paying to rent, and in lack of gate receits (we give back portion to milan) is a lot bigger than you'd think. If Milan owned san siro they might be making 25 to potentially 50 mil more a year according to some estimates.

Oh I don't underestimate it at all my friend. In fact, I have been clamouring for the need to expand our portfolio.

That would also require a vast structural change, and, again, willingness to invest in a stadium. Berlusconi is unwilling to do that, it seems. City councils won't let go. In the current climate, we cannot expand our financial portfolio.

And, thanks to Platini, we cannot rely on owners to compensate.
