#SuningOut and everything else but - unless it's me, and there's a 0% chance I'll ever be a multi-billionaire - I hope Inter never ends up being owned by Americans. Imagine some dumbfuck who knows nothing about the club pushing out Zanetti? I get that Zanetti's role is ceremonial, not at all like Maldini's, but holy fuck, this is speedrunning the course of "how to piss off every fan of your club".

I don't know about a dumbfuck but it will probably be more like this.

But Maldini did fuck up last summer. Their mercato was catastrophic, everyone flopped. Only Thiaw can held his head high.

It seems Moncada and Tare are stepping in. Tare just left this morning. This could actually work, since Moncada scouted plenty of talents that are actually quality players now, and Tare is way more experienced than Maldini.

But it all leads to this. Maldini was vocal on transfer spend. Remember after UCL elimination. And americans are basically Moneyballing. Profits, income and try to spend as less as you can. Find talents.

They went the same way as Bayern. Fresh start. Only Pioli stayed :D

Can we bring Massara here. He is basically Sabatini`s child. We need someone who has an eye for young, talented kids. Maybe we could make a little progress in this directions.
Nothing against Mikhi, Dzeko or Acerbi. They were all above expectations. But too many old farts.

Don't have one.
I bet that bullshit salary cap was the major point of divergence. You can't build a long term winning team with those restrictions, you can only set yourself up to be a selling team.

Milan in shambles. Firing the famous Paolo Maldini won’t go over well with their fan base. Maybe Cardinale is a secret Interista?

If you don`t have a real sugar daddy you have no other possibility. There is no free lunch.
If you pay a player more than you can afford, you have 2 options. You weaken the team because you cannot pay all the pretendents whatever they want. Football is not NBA where someone like Lebron could fight for the title with a bunch of scrubs. Or the other possibility is "banter era". Moratti paid until he broke the camel`s back. Luckily we won the treble. But don`t forget, it was with emotions and a bit of luck, not only in CL but also in Serie A. It could have happen to lose both of them. But the banter era was guaranteed.

Sorry my friend, but a salary cap is the most important thing. You need to live within your means. Plain and simple.
