AC Milan chief Galliani: We need extra €100M-a-year to match Man Utd
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani says they need an extra €100 million-a-year in revenue to match Manchester United.
The Rossoneri were dumped out of the Champions League last night after being thrashed 4-0 by United.
“The problem is the stadiums. Other nations had tournaments recently and revamped their arenas, as it changes the type of fan you get and the income,” insisted Galliani.
“Unfortunately in Italy the councils still own the stadiums and insist on keeping it that way. I wish I'd made this statement after a win and not a 4-0 defeat, as the point remains the same. We need to revamp the stadiums. I don't know how long it will take.
“We have remained the same, it's everyone else who has changed. Just think that in Bologna, Bergamo and several others we still have stadiums from the 1920s with open stands and nobody for some reason is allowed to change them.
“If Milan had 100m Euros more per season then we'd build a squad like this, too.”

You guys are funny... He is the boss & the owner. He is the cheque book and he is speaking the truth. Both English clubs and 2 Spanish clubs are spending huge fortunes and are all heavily in the red. They rely on fans to spend to replenish funds. It's not just about football it is business first then football. Portsmith are the first club to go bust, how soon will the next one be?
in 1990 when united when to anfield they told us that we shall never match their tally of 18 titles in another hundred yrs by the time they would have already won another 20.. what happened?? after 20 yrz we equalled their tally by winning 11 league titles during that time..now milan say we shall nt match theiir feat of 7 cl titles.. we already won 3...4 to go
He finally said it, AC Milan is not good enough to play Man Utd.
