Milan President Silvio Berlusconi is ready to splash out a monumental £70m on new signings for the club.
The Corriere dello Sport claims that the former Italian Prime Minister has finally accepted that the Rossoneri need to invest in some new blood if they are to continue to compete at the top level. Berlusconi will make £25m available in January, and the remaining £45m will be spent in the summer. Top of the shopping list according to the Italian newspaper are Azzurri stars Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluca Zambrotta, Palermo striker Amauri, Valencia midfielder David Albelda and Lyon’s Kim Kallstrom. Milan have made the worst start to a domestic season since Berlusconi took over the club 21 years and currently sit in 13th place in the table. A major factor in the European Champions’ poor form has been their transfer campaign in the summer just past. Only the 31-year-old Emerson and the 34-year-old Ibrahim Ba, two players way past their best, were brought to the club. Teenage wonderkid Alexandre Pato was also signed from Internacional, although he is ineligible to play until January. ----------- goal ---------- |

The fact is that TV money is huge in England. Especially because the EPL has the highest market in Asia. English speaking also helps.
In India for instance, almost all the people who watch football are decent English-speakers and have no knowledge of language or interest in Italy or Spain. Not to mention the commentary which at times, I swear would make you believe for instance that Downing was the greatest thing since I dunno Jairizinho or something. The Liga matches are shown at midnight or past it. While the late kick off for the EPL is only by 10.30 pm here. Unfortunately, none of the premium channels even bother broadcasting Serie A. And when they do, the quality doesn't come close to ESPN-Star.Lesser cameras, phlegmatic commentary and the audience volume muted down. Not to mention almost 0 sponsors. Is it any wonder that Man U-Arsenal etc. have such a huge fan base in Asia?? People just seem more of them that's all. The only reason people have even the slightest bit of respect for Serie A is coz a 'talented' kid and bunch of has-beens (I swear this is what those commentators said, back in the group stages) did a demolition job on England's finest. |

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) That's exactly it. If Serie A was beamed all over the World and constantly in your face like the EPL, it'd be just as big, no question. This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Nov 2 2007, 09:18 PM |
