Which makes me angry. We won the CL + CWC just last year, we probably should've gain lots of money in the past years just for advancing in Europe (I don't know if the Supercup gives you money), we got a huge amount of money when we sold Sheva (by now we should've collected), we have spend little in the market since 03 (maybe just this season, but it's peanuts compare to what the rest of the big teams payed), we sold players with losses, but not HUGE losses, we sold some gusy with gains, we bought Ronaldinho and Ronaldo and both supposly sold lots of shirts (and I'm assuming Kaka also sells a lot + I'm also guessing we at least have the image rights of him or some of the big names in the team), there's the abbonamenti that in the past 2 years have been huge, supposly we didn't end in red numbers 2 years ago (which IMO is bad, cause having superavits is usually not recomended when you work with a budget), yes maybe we are overpaying some payrolls, but is it that bad? And b) aren't those numbers supposed to be real when they are made public otherwise isn't it corruption?
Well you make some valid points but i guess other issues like taxes+tv rights+attendance rate compared to other big clubs in europe (England, etc)+Maintaining Milan lab+stock market and a host of other issue come into play as well.
crazy4milan said:The north of this management is completly lost, specially if they think that by only having Beckham for 4 months loan we're going to get Asia + US markets crazy. Mostly because Beckham is likely to go before May to play the friendlies with his team to Asia (I'm assuming it's part of his contract) which is going to be the one that will get the market (and that team also plays in the US so is the one that is getting the US market). It would've been kind of honorable if we would let him stay with us to be fit, and all.
Well yeah and that's why i think Galliani shouldn't handle the transfers. He would contradict his role as a CEO+the person in charge of the transfers because he would be signing players based on who can sell more merchandise+fill the stadium (which is something he needs to look into as the CEO of the club) by signing players like Beckham. If things don't go well, he can always say i signed players like Beckham so its not my fault. I believe the manager should have full control of the transfers so that he can build the squad without external influence and can take full responsibility if things don't go as plan as oppose to the current state of affairs.
crazy4milan said:As a note, I don't think Beckham sucks, for me there was a reason he played in a team like ManU and there's a reason why Sir Alex debuted him and played and there's a reason why the England NT (as much as it sucks for most people) debuted him when he was kind of young. I just don't think it's right, and I think this is giving the idea that Milan is nothing more than a circus that wants to get all the has beens. And it's like we are just waiting that E! decides to make a reality show about Beckham in Milan to sell ourselves.
Yeah he is a good player but he is not exactly what we need. I've mentioned time and time again that we lack quality players with pace to increase our tempo+speed+cut open smaller teams that pack their midfield+defence. We seem to usually do better against bigger teams as oppose to smaller teams because bigger teams would leave a lot of space at the back when they push forward+are usually more adventures.
crazy4milan said:On another note, I don't hate Victoria, I was a huge Spice Girls fan when I was 9-12, I have (had cause a friend of my totally stole it) their CD, and still get excited when I hear their songs, cheesy I know. And when me + my friends sang, I said I was Victoria till they told me she was the tranny. So it's not about her either.
That's extremely Cheesy!
