Summer mercato 2015

[devoted_dm]

I think Bee actually will invest prob €250m for 25%.But all I see happening is €30m of that being used as the startup cost for the stadium.if theyre serious about one.I also see the €70m or so loss being covered out of that. Remember with 25% Bee and his people will not have final say Berlu will.That why he only wants to sell under 30% so he can get cash and still be top dog.
These are my prefictions on what the summer will bring.

I also agree with everything you guys said above.

There's been a lot of talk in the media about a sale bringing new money to Milan. That may be true, but we can't invest it in the squad if we want to be in line with the Financial Fair Play regulations. If I understand the rules correctly we might already be looking at an investigation should we qualify for Europe after next season, due to Fininvest having covered our losses last year (and probably this year too). Bee, or whoever our new owner is, will have to invest in other areas of the club. To be able to afford better players, we need to make more money, something Barbara has said many times.

So at this point it is too late to point the finger at Berlusconi for not investing, as he can't do it anymore without damaging the club. What makes me angry though is that we did the complete opposite of what Juve did. They invested some 90 million euro and buildt a solid squad before FFP. It is absolutely unbelievable that we did the complete opposite and sold our only world class players.

FFP means sweet f**k all.If teams want to spend they'll spend and there is nothing UEFA will do.PSG got warned & a fine and told no more stupid spending a few days later spend €60m+ on David Luiz.Man City same got a telling off a fine told no more huge spending its in breach of FFP ...that was followed by Mangala Fernando Bony near €100m spent.
Sure UEFA will ban a CSKA Sofia Malaga etc... but the big clubs will get a fine a slap and carry on spending.If Milan wanted to invest with BEE or Berlu and im not talking PSG City spending more like 40/50m smartly on 3/4 players there would be no sanctions or threats.

Thats all Milan need cut the trash get the squad down to 20 but 4 players smart buys (not that I think it'll happen)

Don't think Berlusconi won't spend because of FFP. He stopped spending well before FFP. But it's a nice excuse to use today of course.

Berlusconi did cover the loss Galliani made every year so he did spend huge amount of money. Probably close to 300m in the last 6-7 years

Well, FFP did not stop him from doing that, it seems.

Anyhow, I don't think Berlusconi is some kind of saviour because of that. He was the one who handed Galliani the CEO role, and also he was the one who did not fire him, so he is directly responsible for the losses caused by Galliani's incompetence. Either he has to cover the loss or call it a day and sell the club.

Talking about Berlusconi spending or not spending is futile, the numbers are there. He's spent the money, we just have nothing to show for it. Jay, along with other members have posted how we could have spent our money more wisely. From Tevez all the way down to Pogba and whoever else, and we would have been a very good team.

Millinarios is right though, he's the one who insisted on Galliani even when Barbara was trying (or so it seemed) to get him out of there when he was under a lot of heat from fans,media etc.

I am sure Barbara and Galliani have differences of opinion but having given her the CEO job I am sure Berlusconi would listen if she seriously asked her father to fire Galliani. I doubt she has even commented much about Galliani to her father, knowing that the relationship between the two is what it is. He alone will make the decision on Galliani. For as long as he is owner anyway.

This sale talk is reaching epic delusions with some fans (none here) with 25%/30% not much will change.Berlu will still call the shots.The rumours now are that its Wangsuo whos buying and Taechaubol is the broker.
He'll buy around 30% to begin with upping it to 75% in 3/4 years.

Ofcourse its all just rumours and seems to stem from a photo about a month back.
This year IF a percentage is sold I see the €70m loss being paid and the stadium seeing some movement.

As for the tripe being spoken of a new team WC players etc... thats way off IMO.

Rumour of van Ginkel for one more season. Pointless if you ask me.
