I would argue that our project in the last few years has started to yield the same sporting results as Inter’s. More or less. Milan and Inter have won a Scudetto each, and both have made a deep run in the CL this year. I don’t really care all that much about the Coppa Italia, so if you consider that Inter have shown a superior domestic tournament pedigree. In the league, we have had the better H2H on them over the last 3 seasons. Just about.
The difference is we have done it with our finances in decent shape and our revenues growing faster than all—as someone posted above.
I think Suning will likely default on their loan, but Inter won’t go bust. That part is wishful thinking. They find themselves in a similar position to where we were with Yonghong Li. However, the difference is their ownership problems started much later, and ours were there from the outset. Their sporting results have been good; ours were bad under Li. This has allowed them a bit of respite in the media.
But the loan and its exorbitant interest remains. I would never want to trade places with them in terms of project.
Now, if they were to fluke a win on Saturday, that would drastically change this evaluation. Fine margins and all that…
