Siena going bankrupt probably helped them out in this respect given that their operating costs at this point are a bottle of chianti and a filetto di manzo. Percentage wise Im sure they're doing great. Plus: Vexin posted:MPS propagandists?

Percentage wise Im sure they're doing great. Siena is a city where €250,000+ in salaries and bribes for one 90 second horse race is considered an acceptable expenditure (especially if one's rival contrada can be humiliated) so I guess it shouldn't be all that surprising that the local calcio squad was not as carefully managed from a financial standpoint as it could have been. It will be interesting to see how the new, more austere approach ends up working in the long term.

Siena is a nice city and all but I always suggest people to move their savings and accounts away from Mps. Even in a country where managing banks terribly is a tradition, Mps is a special case.

Also, Barcelona and Real are not there because of the "difficulty in finding some documentation". Translation, their turnover and debt chart would look like this: |------turnover-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------debt------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| and it would mess up the chart for the other teams.

Fiorentina news. New medical staff members were hired (thank Christ). Fiorentina also is not any closer to renewing Aquaman, so he might move to Inter in Jan. Also, Napoli are gonna try to switch Venetia out and put in Montell. His replacement would be Eusbio Di Francesco. That is super likely I think due to Montellas roots and the money they'd throw at us for him. No idea about Di Francesco, and how he is. The stadium is rumored to bring in 10-15m Euro a year additionally which would be great! Especially since they have zero debt. And the real kicker! Rumors of replacing Inters Mazzeratti with none other than David loving Moyes! Soulex fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Oct 11, 2014 |

Eusebio Di Francesco is Sassuolo's manager and is cool and good. I don't know if he's as good as Montella, but he got Sassuolo to the top flight and kept them there. I also think they may have been teammates at Roma, though I'm not positive.

I've been on the west coast all weekend, it's been pretty beautiful. But yeah, thinking about moving to the West Coast time zone is pretty daunting for Serie A watching reasons.

I occasionally watch the Eredivise and first took note of him in AZ then got myself excited when he came back for Feyenoord (50 some goals in just as many apps!). It's a cool feeling to follow a shunned player who, in the ending stages of their career, finally becomes a national star.

He could be the next Luca Toni! I thought maybe he would be good but he came back and played for Parma, and was poo poo (though he didn't get much game time) and after the Jozy debacle in the Premier I was less than hopeful for a prolific striker in the Dutch League to keep it up in the PL. I'm definitely surprised, and happy for him as well. I hope he maintains this form.

Some interesting stadium proposals were made in to law today in Italy: http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/15-10-2014/stadi-decreto-approvato-anche-senato-ora-legge-90752158915.shtml Basic summary: 1) DASPO laws have been expanded, to the point where a single offense can get you a three year ban and multiple offenses can result in 5 to 8 year bans and mandatory probation visits to the police like if you committed a regular old crime. 2) Transfer bans and closed away sections can now be doled out as punishments for violence in the stands, and even extending to racist or discriminatory chants. That last bit is gonna end up with Napoli playing to home support only crowds for the rest of eternity. 3) Sporting fraud is now punishable by up to 9 years in prison, and investigations are now allowed to use wiretapping in certain cases, as well as monitoring the activities of people arrested for this while they are in prison, which is pretty much unheard of in Italy. 4) Teams are now obligated to pay a 1-3% tax on gate profits to pay for extra policing measures during games. The police will now also be able to carry tasers on a "testing" basis in some stadiums. I can't wait to see the fallout the first time that one is used. All in all I think these are probably good things except for the taser bit which will definitely result in a riot. The question is how often these punishments will be given out.

I'm not sure if they already have to do this, but I know that some people have to check in to a police station so and so many minutes before the game starts and at halftime.

dkj posted:Sounds nice but will this actually be enforced? DASPO bans have been enforced for individuals on a regular basis. Last year the league banned certain sections of the stadium and even played games behind closed doors for discriminatory and racist chanting, so I can see them enforcing things a little more heavy. We'll see.

Remember a couple weeks ago, when it was rumored that New York attorney (currently facing multiple lawsuits for fraud and defamation) Joe Tacopina/Montreal cheese baron (with possible ties to the Mafia) Joey Saputo were looking to buy Bologna? Well, it's true, it's drat true. Football Italia posted:Joe Tacopina is officially the new President of Bologna and promised to build a new stadium worth €60m. But...it might not go through, because one of those lawsuits he's involved in is claiming he's laundering money away from fraudulent businesses he's involved in to buy Bologna, and as such is trying to get those assets frozen. New York Daily News posted:Tim Parlatore, a New York attorney who represents a plaintiff identified as "Jane Doe" in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in Manhattan state court that names Tacopina, his firm and his law partners as defendants, asked a judge to take the unusual step because he believes Tacopina will flee the court's jurisdiction before the plaintiff's case is resolved. (In other words, we may have a new favorite chairman!) Also in Italian chairman news: Zamp is denying rumors that Mexican interests are trying to buy Palermo (he's claiming that he's just trying to get sponsorship there) and Diego Maradona is allegedly trying to advise a group of Qatari sheiks that want to buy out AdL at Napoli (to which my response is: OH NOOOOO!, and not in the Lazio sense.)

Jim Parlatore is the best name for a lawyer, loving lol, but I don't quite follow how he has to have his assets frozen because he had sex with someone? Also I hope the whole thing goes through. I, like many Italians, like to have criminals in charge of things.

Sadly, both for us and for 3peat, Gigi Becali is in prison for the next few years (although apparently he's still running Steaua Bucharest from the hoosegow) and thus can't bring his brand of ownership to Italy. Yet.
