This team and management is in a really really tough spot this summer. On one hand, the losses are starting to pile up. It's easy to say we shouldn't care because it is not our money, but losing damn near 100M every year is not a good way to run any business. On the other hand, selling whatever asset we have to offset that loss is basically putting a band aid over a shot gun wound. We did that when we sold Ibra and TS, and the losses ended up being bigger than ever two years after the sale. Berlu has got himself a very serious decision that he and Fininvest need to make. They either shell out the cash necessary to rejuvenate the team and get it back on a winning cycle again, where the losses are smaller. Or they stick on their current path of god knows what, and lose money big every year.
Truth be told, I don't know why Fininvest and Marina have not pushed harder for Berlu to finally sell the team. It seems like that is the only way for Fininvest to finally get out of the losing boat load of money every year business at this point. That whole Mr. Bee crap is not going to happen, but there are still other investors out there who could make a deal happen. Berlu might not be happy with selling Milan for less than he wanted, but at the rate that he is losing money over the team, he is better off selling for a lower offer than holding onto the team for another two, three years.
