I can't wait for the outrage of all the non-invited clubs now when they have to play the 12 in their domestic clubs. Today we win and Sassuolo come out to say they should have the 3pts and we are forfeit due to having wanted to start ESL.

Juventus are such sore losers. Spent truckloads on Ronaldo in a desperate attempt to win the CL, project failed and they tried to start their own league.
Even if the SL did happen, Milan would still remain one of the poorer clubs (amongst the elite). Perhaps SL would try to impose a salary cap, but that's also subject to legal challenges. Would there be a cap on transfer fees as well? It's unclear.
Milan would have more money than mid-table PL clubs, but still not enough to afford the likes of Mbappe and Haaland.

That?s fine. We honestly just need to have a stadium built without having to follow FFP while it gets built.
Nobody expects us to become P$G overnight with SL.

Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi has hit out at Elliott Management over their Super League breakaway push.
Sacchi insists former Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi, now in charge of Monza, would never have been part of the group.
He said, ?Berlusconi stressed the importance of the spectacle, of fun football, and he dreamed of great games that thrilled people regardless of the result. And he would never shut the doors on anyone."
Sacchi also told Gazzetta dello Sport: ?The elitist vision is a diametrically opposed concept to that of sport, which is inclusive and not exclusive. It is therefore evident that the Super League goes against sport and against football. It can become a circus."
kick them out of the country!!!!!! out out out

How are juventus being sore losers? This was the ballsiest move in the history of the sport.
We also dont know exactly how all of the details of the SL would work out. Its best to reserve criticisms for something that did not come to maturity. Things could be radically different than what you are describing

Congo. Can you explain this:
In the late 1990s, with the Premier League well established and frustration with the Champions League growing, informal discussions were held by Europe's richest clubs regarding the establishment of a new Super League. The initiative was being driven by AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi. The mooted Super League would create a 32 Super League teams, with fixed places for the 16 founder members for the first three seasons.
Berlusconi and Rupert Murdoch were present when Dublin was identified as a location....
1. Berlusconi was talking super league in 98 and again in 2011
2. Rupert Murdoch is American money... I don?t have to tell you this
You are denying your roots. You are denying that your spiritual father Silvio Berlusconi would actually do the things you claim he would not
My hand is on your shoulder right now. It?s not your fault.

The internet is flooded with discussions surrounding the seismic changes that are happening within football today. It is not conjecture or hyperbole to say that the global footballing landscape will be changed beyond recognition should plans for a European Super League go ahead.
And yet this is not the first time a Europe-wide elite club competition has been touted.
What separates then and now is that in 1998, there were League of Ireland clubs anteing for a place among the European greats ? and a slice of the proverbial cake.
In the late 1990s, with the Premier League well established and frustration with the Champions League growing, informal discussions were held by Europe's richest clubs regarding the establishment of a new Super League. The initiative was being driven by AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi. The mooted Super League would create a 32 Super League teams, with fixed places for the 16 founder members for the first three seasons.
Berlusconi and Rupert Murdoch were present when Dublin was identified as a location for a Super League 'franchise' during talks.
There was confidence from several parties that Dublin could play host to a new, elite footballing enterprise: so much so that an "English-based consortium" approached Drumcondra's Shelbourne FC with a view to buying the club in August 1998.
According to reports, a four-man consortium that included Dublin businessman Peter O'Mahoney and football agent Peter Munnelly were interested in buying Shels for between ?1-3million pounds. They said their hope was to turn Shels into a club like Rosenborg in Norway. That summer, Shelbourne had been knocked out of the UEFA Cup by Rangers and clearly felt they belonged at European football's top table.

Super League was never against Serie A, but it probably was one of the biggest mistakes to call it league and not cup or tournament as it gave people a wrong idea after UEFA filled it with their venom.

Silvio B and JP Morgan ties
Where does the money come from?
First, third-party investments. The Americans agreed to Finance the organization of the super League. Back in October 1997, Hecht met in London with representatives of the American financial giant JPMorgan. According to Rodolfo's memoirs, the Bank did not immediately believe in the project: "When a bunch of Italians fly to London and start talking about billions of euros ... How should I say-you are not very trusted." As a result, JPMorgan agreed to invest 1.2 billion euros in the super League.

My dear RnB brethren....
American money and Silvio Berlusconi have had a long history of potential collaboration to implement a super league.
For that reason among several other do I not turn my back on the will of our forefather
Shame on you all for spitting on the name of Silvio Berlusconi

But the format and the way it was set up would totaly hurt Seria A. I dont understand how you people dont see that.
Seria A is not just 2 cities and 3 clubs.

Its really not the same. While uefa and fifa are equally as corrupted, their plans dont fuck over the leagues completely
Whats the point of playing in serie a for teams participating in the super league?
Devaluating the importance of a 122 year old league just to make 3 clubs richer isnt the way.
They should have come with a better plan.

Our wage bill is far higher than 80m. Where did you get that from, the Gazzetta charts?
It doesn't include bonuses or compensations and seem to even be underestimating the base salaries.
If you add the salaries of all it's employees then it typically lands somewhere between 160m and 185m. The women team and management are an insignificant part of it, because it has been like this since eras where the club didn't have any women team or a bunch of directors.
Then you have amortizations(80-100m) and other expenses(100m) related to transfers, San Siro rent, one of the worst net spends in Europe, a revenue that doesn't make Top 20 anymore and voila....100m to 200m in the red annually.

I could care less about 3 years or permanent...
The fact is... there could have been more creative approaches and made this work
And... AC Milan was the originator of this idea

A loan for Hauge won?t be bad for the player, but still Milan needs 5 wingers in the team. Who will stay in place of Hauge? Krunic?

Serie A clubs need their own stadiums. We have been saying this for years.
If anything the cities and municipalities should wake up and help their clubs.
