Hmmm ... Biggest car producer on the planet or a huge scam ... Hard choice.

WHY SERIE A MIGHT BE ON THE VERGE OF A FINANCIAL CRISIS​

Serie A’s financial situation is expected to get worse in the next year or so because of the broadcast deal with DAZN that is set to expire next year.

La Repubblica have reported on some details about the situation, providing some context to the scenario too. 2024 is expected to be the year of downsizing for Serie A because the TV rights contract with DAZN expires in the summer.

Their previous deal with Sky had run out in 2021 and after some bitter quarrels, they had ended up signing the deal with DAZN on much lower terms than what the Sky deal offered. The total price of the DAZN deal was €930 million a year, earning which now seems like a far-fetched idea for the league.

It is stated that the clubs had financial worries even when the more lucrative Sky deal was in place and that continues to be the case with DAZN. There are fears that the league may not earn more than around €700 million in the next deal.

Lazio owner Claudio Lotito is also a member of the Italian senate and he has made attempts to seek help from the government regarding the issue. He has been supported by the 20 Serie A clubs in his attempts to have a two-year-long extension in place but the plea has been rejected, even though Lotito is the Vice President of the Budget Commission.

Lotito is expected to try again and he could also look to propose the idea of a two-year extension via Paramount or Amazon, with both parties said to be attentive to Serie A’s product. Clubs are also looking to bring about laws that limit piracy as the problem leads to clubs losing about €300 million per season.

A Plan B which is being considered is the idea of investment funds backing the league. A meeting involving the 20 teams is expected to take place on the 24th of February about this. Back in the 2020/21 season, CVC had an agreement with Serie A to buy 10 percent of revenue in exchange for €1.7 billion but that didn’t go through because Juventus, Inter and Milan then deciding to join the Super League.

Lega Serie A knows that some parties are interested but the terms of any deal will be different. Funds will demand the full revenue of Serie A, instead of a certain percentage. While this is a popular idea, there is no clarity about how Serie A will improve its own structures even if it does get over €1 billion of money from funds. If the money is not invested in improving the league’s infrastructure, youth development and creating an official broadcast platform which helps clubs eradicate copyright problems, the move can backfire.

Essentially, Serie A is on the verge of financial collapse and things could take a drastic turn soon.

The fucking incompetence in Lega and FIGC is astonishing.

It's a real sign you are in trouble when you start peddling RIAA's 1990/early 2000's it's all piracy fault mantra...

I will never stop being amazed at Italys shoddy infrastructure and mismanagement.

Offcourse the Lega and FIGC made mistakes and they miss a certain ingenuity.

Then there is the fact there aren’t a lot of people outside of Italy following Serie A anymore. We have no topteams or topplayers anymore, so you only follow the League if you support a team in it.

The only think that van save Italian teams are new stadiums wich they, attracting topplayers again and a new League setup where we get loads of money for only participating…

If Italian authorities and clubs want Serie A to stay relevant they need to follow the example of Germany with infractructure and youth development. At this rate they will have a worse tv deal than Ligue 1 very soon. If they choose to do nothing, then the only ones who will follow the league will be people with Italian roots and old fans of Italian clubs who will follow the league out of routine and will just talk about the glories of the past.

I had an Italian friend like 15 years ago. She used to tell me italians mostly linger on talents and instincts than actually reaping the rewards of a well implanted project. And if they mean to start a construction, it's gonna take 10 years to finish it.

Looking at Inter's "project" and how the stadium plan is going for Inter and Milan! I still don't know what happened to the AS Roma's new stadium. It was supposed to be available like 2,3 years ago, but everyone acts like it doesn't even exists!

The Sassuolo vs Napoli match is on the CBS Sports Network @2:45 today in the US. I'll kinda pay attention during happy hour..maybe. Probably, should go easy on my cups though, may need some nerve medicine if the Inter match goes south.

I can see Napoli dropping points tonight vs Sassuolo, but that's none of our business. They will most likely rotate a bit, which would make things easier for Sassuolo. The latter is able to make damage to any team of the league when they're in the mood.

What a wonderful goal, and cowardly defense.

Another brilliant goal, 0-2 Napoli...this one is over.

great game so far... three amazing goals



edit: nvm sasuolo goal got VAR'd

Napoli takes no prisoners this season. They're scary.

Yeah, just watching this match you can see the intensity and swagger of Napoli, two things Inter lacks especially versus teams they should beat. Hence the loss of points.

Kvara & Osimhen the new LuLa

I really dont know why our scouts cant find players like this kvara, no one heard of him before he came to napoli, the guy is insane talent, why our clown management cant put thier hands on this kind of cheap players that have huge talent..
