One thing that has to be said about Allegri is that he managed to get fired from Berlusconi's Milan mid season, something that rarely (if ever?) happened before.

The president of CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) met with Albertini, ex player and main opponent of Tavecchio for the FIGC presidency. It should be noted that while several clubs withdrew their support of Tavecchio following his "controversial" remarks, they didn't openly announce their support to Albertini. What I hope? Albertini wins, bringing a young president and a man of sport to the presidency. What I fear will happen? Tavecchio wins, and FIGC gets an old racist shithead as president. Though he was right about one thing, there are too few italian players in the Serie A, or at least in some teams.

pik_d posted:What exactly is the dividing line between the north and south? Do you have your own mason-dixon line as such? Technically, the south is the old "Regno delle Due Sicilie", which comprised all or parts of Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise, Puglia and Sicilia. Some don't consider Abruzzo south, whereas some others distinguish Sicily from south proper.

You don't get 60% of the votes by wanting to make a revolution, and especially if your voters are rich and risk adverse old men. Not that Albertini was a great alternative. One thing Tavecchio is right about, the Serie A has too few italian players.

Let's be honest, I don't think that Italy will have a team able to win a Champions' League in the immediate future. When your A-list players break or are tired and the second line is made up of primavera players or loans from the Società Polisportiva Minchiarotta you can't win the Champions and have at the same time a good result in the championship. Let's not forget that this year's Milan and Inter sucked dog balls. Milan's performance was so bad that in fact I stopped following football after February, and never really considered Juventus' title in doubt; I only followed some of Atalanta due to the fact that a few friends of mine work for Percassi and Atalanta is a pretty big deal here.

canepazzo posted:The biggest signing so far has been Morata; Iturbe just changed clubs within Serie A. Our top goalscorer left for Germany for not even 20m. Majority of the players signed so far are on a free, on a loan, or exchanges. It's not really that but the mixed effects of a few things: 1) new taxation rules for sponsors 2) someone ran the costs/benefits ratios of sponsoring football and was shown that it didn't pay 3) less money circulating 4) those with money actually investing in serious enterprises rather than stupid poo poo. 5) new rules concerning debts and assets of football clubs. Anyway, in the 2000s Moratti, Agnelli and Berlusconi outdid each other spending money on players who were frankly terrible. Moratti's family told him that they didn't want to pay for his toy anymore and sold the team to an ADTRW goon; Agnelli with their industrial policies can't spend lavishly on football unless they want Street riots, and Berlusconi needs to pay for his divorce and has to deal with dwindling advertisement revenues from his media empire.

Well, it isn't a mystery that Serie A was used to launder money until a few years ago. That was the case of third and fourth line sponsors, of course, not the ones you see on jerseys or while they do interviews. The 3 names I mentioned are the owners or past owners of Milan, Inter and Juventus. Roma went through some troubles too, and so did Lazio. Genoese teams are too "poor" to afford a deep roster. Thorir's Internazionale is the only team that could spend more money than the others, without image drawbacks. You can't fire workers from your factories and spend on football players (Juventus, but also in part AC Milan). Sport sponsorships in general have been put under the scrutiny of the Agenzia delle entrate, the Irs of Italy, and they're finding a lot of irregularities.

The guardia di finanza are the fiscal police unit, they don't go for small fishes usually. More likely it's the Agenzia delle entrate conducting their searches. I know this because I'm a commercialista, by the way  Sport sponsorships used to be dirty business at every level and in every sport, but obviously the Serie A took the lion's share.

That's likely, but Milan needs to reduce their expenditure on wages, so I wouldn't worry about it. Under the skin, the big problem between Galliani and Berlusconi Jr was that the former kept a roster too wide and too full of overpaid scarponi del cazzo.

It's not that simple, as I said in another post, due to political implications it isn't easy for at least two of the top teams to invest in football right now, Juventus and Milan. You can't lay off employees for the crisis and then spend millions on a player, which is what the Agnelli family (FIAT) did and what Berlusconi will probably do. About Thorir and Pallotta, yeah, it's amazing how "little" they are spending. Inter was used to spending a shitload of cash before the season, and now there's one less reason to mock Inter supporters

Off topic, but am I the only one that every now and then reads "Panecazzo" instead of "Canepazzo"? And as long as Galliani and Barbara Berlusconi share the helm of Milan, there will be trouble, I fear.

You can buy tickets online easily, but not for the guests' side (you need a thing called tessera del tifoso for that), but it's Napoli anyway so no one would really like to go there. To get to the stadium you can get a taxi, Milan isn't very large, or you can catch a metro train from Centrale Station to Lotto metro station and grab a shuttle bus provided by the stadium, which will land you directly to the stadium.

Being an accountant, it does make sense, in the sense that it's easier to bail out if one of the two enterprises goes into the shitter and the other doesn't. It also means that he can hold Roma's balls more easily.

If the stadium is owned by another company, you certainly pay rent, even if the team and the stadium companies' are themselves owned by the same parent company. They're just infra-company transfers.

Bonera? Here is a list of good things about Bonera: 1) he didn't join the SS during the second world war 2) he isn't G. W. Bu$h 3) he isn't the archbishop arrested in Vatican city for being a pedophile. Does this warrant a spot in AC Milan? According to someone, this is enough. He should be in AC Milan, where AC stays for air conditioning and he spends his time fixing broken vents instead of sucking dicks on a field.

This isn't even a case of little money being put into the team, rather, a mismanagement of the money. As long as Milan is effectively guided by two conflicting individuals, it's not going to improve. Remember a few years ago when we had huge international names and you could recognize them and immediately see them on the field? While nowadays you have Bonera and Mexes. Their mere presence in Milan is worthy at least one Ancelotti raised eyebrow on a scale that goes from zero to one Ancelotti raised eyebrows. It's a lot of eyebrows, in other words.

Speaking of Bonera, this old article might give us a reason why he's finding a spot in Milan's starting 11? http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Milan/22-05-2014/milan-rissa-amelia-bonera-inaugurazione-nuova-sede-80732613929.shtml For the non-italian speakers, it's an article about a discussion in may between Bonera and Amelia. Bonera was supposedly against Seedorf and siding with the society.
