QUOTE Report: Silvio Berlusconi Orders Milan To Slash Wages
According to MilanNews.it, Italian Prime Minister and Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has already put in place the first measures to overhaul the club in light of their recent failures on the field of play. It is suggested that vice president Adriano Galliani has been entrusted with the difficult task of considerably reducing the club’s wage expenditure to better cope with the current economic climate.
Milan currently top the ‘salary chart’ in Italian football. They pay a total of €120 million per season in wages - the same amount as Inter - while Juventus come in third with €115m.
But Berlusconi thinks that this situation has now become unsustainable and has demanded a 30 per cent cut, which means that their wage budget will be slashed to around €90m per season.
These measures would obviously invite lucrative bids from top European clubs for big stars such as Kaka, who earns €9m per year.
The Brazilian turned down a big-money move to Premier League side Manchester City in January, but it is believed that Spanish giants Real Madrid will revive their interest next summer. Brilliant genius. Yeah cut wages, what a brilliant move. Why dont you cut the players who make our wage go that high, sheva, emerson, kaladze, dida, Ronaldinho. Brilliant berlu, a genius i must say (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Slashing of wages plus uefa cup next season. We are becoming a wonderful team!!

Well, it's either cut costs - and wages are by far the biggest single cost - or end up several hundred million in debt. Which would you prefer?

QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ Mar 4 2009, 11:36 AM) Not necessarily. If we can remove dead weight such as Favalli, Dida, Emo, Zambrotta, Kalac etc and promote a Primavera player or two such as Darmian we wouldnt have to make cuts, or at least not to everyone That all depends on who is coach next season. If carlo is coach those dead weights would stay. But if coach is replaced and the new coach does not have plans for those players than yes some players wouldn't need a pay cut. I think seedorf should also get a pay cut.

Yup there are many players who seem to earn more than they deserve... if they go away, there won't be a need to cut everyone's wages.
But... I'm not so sure about this... since when do we have to take these reports seriously?

Um. Blue, there's no quotes in that article. So, really, it's not from Berlusconi himself.
