Club legends means probably little for companies like this if you don’t show a particular skillset, experience and has the right resume and network. Mister M was appointed because they in their evaluation could see he possessed the right qualifications and has the network.

No question, Marotta is excellent choise. But, I think he could stay at his position in a sport department, to concentrate only on building team with players. This position as a President, might distract him to do what he knows the best.

I was not asking for Captain Zanetti to be President. The question I have is whether he is still part of the club or whether he has been disposed of.

I hope so, Zanetti should be dragged into every meeting with Beppe. I would prefer Zanetti to become the President 3-5 years from now with strong experience surrounding him.

Or they give it to Antonello post Beppe era?

Actually the more I think about it, this "Oaktree Capital Management" is blessing in disguise, cause they won't be like some sugar daddy that has some fetish and want some weird involvement like buying tons of attack players and 0 defenders etc. They would make the team as functional as possible and hopefully at an optimal point of support in fans reflect in revenue (or profit) generation, the only downside is there will be no seeding investment to grow the popularity even it might grow the profit; so it all comes down to the nature of the fans (or new fans) support, and our team's competitiveness level' will very well reflect that with the restriction of the shitty Italian government and shitty FIGC and the scumbags Jube etc.

I still wish we have a right minded sugar daddy.

As long as we have Beppe, we are fine.

Oaktree are confident our fans will support the team in the best possible way.
Katherine has suggested next seasons jerseys contain one star each, either left or right aligned, hence doubling our revenue where fans like you want a true "two star" experience.

I don’t get it. One star on each side?

Beppe was a good move. Bodes well for the future. But I remain concerned that Oaktree is going to try to halfass their way to building more value in the club only to find out this game requires an owner's full focus.

If they allow Beppe and the boys a good operating salary for the roster and support them then yes this could go well for us. But it's easy to read the tea leaves you want to see early on in this type of situation. And generally I am not into crowning owners until they earn it.

Speaking of which... I underestimated Zhang in some ways. However in the end his financial shortfalls did result in a club that didn't have enough to win the CL. Now some may say that is a high bar, and yes it is, but the CL cup is the bar for any top club. And I consider Inter to be a top club. The type of club that deserves the best of ownership.

They are not going to provide transfer budget money. The best bet to sell the club.

So, with Oaktree it initially appears to be a holding pattern as far as players/transfer market concern with a zero sum game as a result. What about the stadium situation? Going forward would increase the value of the club despite the baroque dealing with the increasingly rodent like Milan politicos.

It feels weird. Going for younger aka cheaper players is what we tried doing in the Erick Thohir era and we know that only when Mancini came, we started looking more towards quality players. Until then we had too many duds.

Are we destined to repeat the same mistakes or are we going to find the right balance to continue winning? At least this time our core is younger than before and also I trust this current Ausilio and Marotta more than Branca.

I don't mind their guidelines to go for younger players as it makes financial sense, but they should not go overboard with demands. If we aren't winning titles, we ain't getting big talents to play for us. I do hope they know Inzaghi would rather play the players he trusts instead of trying out young talent in our squad.

a smaller number of younger players, with more concentrated quality, is the key important thing, like we did with barella/bastoni, rather than just any fucker we can get for 5m and hope they turn into a 100m superstar

Branca lasted just one transfer window under Thohir. For the biggest part of Thohir era it was Ausilio and Fassone making the transfers.
