The management

Actually, if you live in Italy, you're not able to say if an Italian team is a "laughing stock" or other in the world ... and coming from an Inter fan ... lol

In France, despite the fact that Juventus was in Serie B, medias were speaking more of Juventus (and Milan) than Inter ... Canal + has official rights for Serie A, but other channels (Eurosport, in France they show only Ligue 2 and some French Cup matchs lol) bought the rights of Juventus matchs, not sure they would have done it for Inter (I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have done it actually lol) ...

And it's a huge difference between Inter fans and Milan fans: even with Juventus in Serie B, we respected/respect them ...

Anyway, management seems to have the 2 guys we speak about since dozen pages on other topics !! lol

Yeah, i was stunned when i saw that certain French channels broadcast Juve's serie B matches. They must be very popular in France.

Well, with the great names of French football playing for Juve , in the past and currently, it's not a huge surprise actually, but it's still something.

I think it is the most popular Italian team in France, even after Calciopoli ...
Unfortunately, they showed more matchs of Juv this year than any other team in Serie A on French TV (perhaps 10-15 Milan matchs, about the same for Inter, 10 for Fiorentina, but more from Juv).

Even when we were European champions last year, they didn't speak about that as much as Juventus coming back in Serie A ... lol

Guys, whatever and however you wanna take it, this is the simple fact, some will be shocked, many will be rocked, but most will be laughing in my opinion, it will be a very different CL if Milan isn't there

Milan will be laughed at by those who don't win the CL since 44 years or those who don't win it since 12 years.
Enough said.

Let's say for a second you are right, and people laugh. Do you really think we will or should feel ashamed or embarrassed? I will tell you one thing, no matter where we are we stand proud as Milan and face our problems head on.

What else can we expect from someone whose team has been laughed at so much over the last god knows how many years? There can only be one Inter, Karim. That means there can only be one laughing stock in world football. Even if there was place for more, INter has done enough to conquer that spot for the rest of eternity.

Let's keep the mutual jokes friendly and not too harsh.

Alright, Berlusconi won. Can anyone speculate its effects on us?

hopefully pier silvio is now our offical owner

Last time Silvio was Prime Minister, we didn't see much of him and Galliani was more in control of the day-to-day stuff. If you remember there was that whole 'conflict of interests' thing when he was running the country and when he eventually lost power there was all the headlines of him 'turning his attention back to Milan' etc.

So who knows what'll happen. Silvio could celebrate by buying big, Galliani could be in charge, Pier Silvio could take over ... we'll just have to wait and see.

Rock on my friend

rt9, listen to what Giovanni says ok

By watching the "organigramme" (i don't know the correct word in english):

President: Silvio Berlusconi
Vice Executive President and Managing Director: Adriano Galliani
Vice President: Paolo Berlusconi
Vice President: Gianni Nardi

So like Silvio will be busy, the logical next President by waiting him to be back is Galliani ...

This is not going to happen. The heir of Silvio will be Luigi, the youngest son. But in 10 years' time. Now he studies at Bocconi University, the equivalent of London School of Economics in Italy, and he's too busy in hunting birds.

As long as Silvio is alive and kicking nobody will drop him.
