I think this is a must read for us Milanfans on exactly what is happening.

I just skimmed through at the moment, but a few things stand out.

1. Our wage bill has been increasing and is absolutely insane!!
2. Our commercial income is actually very good considering our market reach.
3. We are really losing out on matchday income at the stadium.

Milan's Financial State

Han, do you really think we can compete at the highest level again if we only sort out our wages?

Sure we need to do that but we also need to do something about the stadium. it's astonishing that we earn less than 40 million compared to Arsenal, Barca, Man U or Real's 100+. I guess normally that number should be between 60-80 for us. 20-40 million more per year would make a good difference for us.

I personally don't want to see us moving to some generic FIFA stadium, just for the hell of it. The San Siro is a massive stadium and a club like Milan should not settle for some 40,000 seater.

Come on, the capacity and the design of the stadium is not even the issue.

Also:

the stadium is in poor condition and does not have the facilities to host sponsors and VIPs etc. For the same reasons the stadium are mostly half full as fans are not presented to the pleasant facilities a modern stadium must have.
