Nah, I really wouldn't like a foreign billionaire to come in and buy the club. With rare exceptions (Villa's Randy Lerner being one of those), they throw money at the club which inflates the prices of players and that's not good for all the clubs that are struggling - in any league. Other foreign leaders come in and leverage the club when they buy it so the club's in hundreds of millions of debt. (ie, Manchester United or Liverpool).
Would I mind someone like the guy who owns Ferrero chocolates buying? Not at all. I'd just prefer it to be local ownership. |

I'm not too bothered where they come from so long as they have the teams best interests in front of their own. Not having a huge debt would be nice too.

He just wants money and win the Scudetto and by winning it, comes money..
He wants to earn more money then spend. And It would be better with someone that wants The best for MiLan and the players |

I don't think he wants to earn money. He hasn't taken a single penny out of the club. Milan's profit in the CL winning season was a grand total of 1 million euros.
I think Silvio just doesn't want to keep putting money in, every season, like Moratti. |

I don't really care about that, Milan cannot be self sufficient, EVER. Not in the league and times we're in. We're always going to end up in the red at the end of the year, no club is self sufficient. If Sivio wants to make money then he should invest in something else, not a football club. If this continues I can see us become a midtable team in a few years time. If Silvio is tired of putting in money into the club he should sell up to someone that is willing to do it. The only reason he doesn't do this is because he's an @sshole and because Milan is a political tool for him. But the longer he's going to let the club plummit the tool that he's been using for years now will turn against him. |

He won't let us plummet. It's quite easy to keep us just about there..without spending significant amounts of cash. And one of the seasons we'd get lucky and win something. Kind of like what Arsenal are doing now.

Arsenal will not win anything... if we are in the same situation we won't win anything either.

To be fair,without injuries, I think Arsenal would be doing a lot better this season especially. And Silvio does occasionally invest 'flashy', like R80. They've still got the easiest fixture compared to the rest of the teams.

Every team has injuries and the only one that really hurts them is van Persie's whom as much as I like I don't expect to stay fit for a whole season...

Agreed, but looking at the figures the EPL clubs and Barca and Real earn for the TV rights it's even more difficuilt for the Italian teams, not to mention the fact that the clubs don't own their own stadiums and the high taxes |

Yes it's certainly harder in Italian football.
Looking at it we're probably being a bit harsh on Silvio. I'm sure he has to put in an awful lot of money into the club just to keep it out of debt. |
