He probably will be our Sport ministry next year lmao but good thing is he need to get rid off all his dirty investment including Inter so I believe at most end of this year he will sell of his shares completely.

Suning take all of Inter?
By Football Italia staff

Inter’s owners Suning Group are reportedly ready to buy out the remaining shares of President Erick Thohir.

The Indonesian businessman bought the Nerazzurri from Massimo Moratti, taking around 70 per cent of the shares and leaving the Italian with the rest.

In the summer of 2016 Chinese conglomerate Suning came in, with Thohir buying out Moratti’s shares and selling the rest to Jindong Zhang and family.

Now Corriere dello Sport is reporting that the group is ready to buy Thohir’s remaining 31.05 per cent, taking almost total control of the club.

There would still be several small shareholders, but their stake combined amounts to just 0.4 per cent.

Thohir has already sold his shares in Major League Soccer side DC United, suggesting that he may be looking to make an exit from football investment.

Following the investments in the transfer market, it makes sense for Suning to take over.

Thohir was smart enough to buy cheap and sell expensive, so great piece of business for him. I guess he will either ca$h in or take equivalent of Suning shares.

Inter, Thohir: “I had 5 main objectives to achieve with the club”

Despite only being a minority shareholder, Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir remains the Chairman of Inter Milan. Speaking to Lapresse, Thohir spoke on several topics; including revealing his 5 primary objectives with Inter Milan and thoughts on Serie A in general.

ON SERIE A: “A white night awaits me, there is my Inter's debut against Sassuolo ... But why does not Serie A adopt the same schedule as the Premier League? We Asians are penalized, we read at 3 o'clock half in the morning.”

ON INTER: “I'm still the president of the company and I have 31% of the shares, and most of all I'm a passionate fan just to see my office: it's full of Inter shirts starting with Bergomi and Zanetti.”

ON OBJECTIVES: “Business is business, and when I bought the company from Moratti, I never fooled anyone, I never promised the Scudetto right away ... At a certain point I had to protect myself. 5 objectives: to build up infrastructures that are up to the situation, reorganize the management, set up a strong team little by little, and then buy the stars, respect financial fair play, go to the Europa League and, within 5 years, return to the Champions League.”

ON THE STADIUM: “The stadium could not be built, it would have generated business, the turnover would have increased, the turnover allowing it to keep pace with the great clubs of Europe, take Juventus as an example, which Cristiano Ronaldo was able to allow. Anyway, it seems to me that Suning has the same goal. The stadium, I mean.”

ON SELLING TO SUNING: “I sold Because there were those who offered to become a majority partner, with great goals ... I thought: all right ... I repeat: I only protected myself, I kept the charge, the place at the stadium, 31% of the shares, I am writing to my Italian and Inter friends, now it's up to Suning.”

true, but being president of Inter (especially with champions league) is lots of free publicity.

He doesn't get much fame after Suning took over, even in Indonesia.

So Steven Zhang will become the president of Inter after Thohir will be kicked the fuck out. Good. Steven seems like a good guy though Jesus christ he's young! :lol:

What I would really hope is that Steven will be given all the power he needs to run the club in a way that Ausilio or anyone else doesn't have to make any stupid trips to China to discuss anything. Maybe Steven can visit there to see his daddy time to time but I'd like to see the club to be run independently in Milano.

Well it's not like Steven will be the one running the club and making decisions anyway. Having an English-speaking young president can be helpful in some ways. I like the way our media is heading now with the English presentations and social media activity.

I guess it depends on who reports it, as Suning is negociating with Thohir and he is not rushing to sell. Thohir is in a comfortable position now, as he has to do nothing while the club`s value is continuously increasing thanks to the work done by Suning.

Erick Thohir’s exit from Inter may not happen until June next year at the very latest according to a report from Il Sole 24 Ore.

The Inter president, who holds a 30% stake in the club, reached an agreement with majority shareholders Suning upon their takeover in 2016 that gives him a leaving option, something he can trigger between January and June 2019.

The main reason behind him not wanting to leave any earlier is because of the dispute over what he will receive for giving up his remaining shares to the Chinese conglomerate, who will acquire total control in the Nerazzurri once a deal is struck.

Thohir is wanting a cash fee for his shares in the club whereas Suning are hoping to strike a deal on the basis of the Indonesian tycoon receiving a small amount of shares in their company instead and that offer is believe to in fact already be on the table.

Is Erick Thohir really selling his 30% of Inter to Suning? In reality, according to Sole 24 Ore, the Indonesian tycoon has a “put” option (signed in 2016) which he should exercise within the first six months of next year.

The reason for this dispute is the settlement of the fee by the Zhang family. In fact, ET prefers a cash settlement but the proposal on the table provides the sale of a very small percentage of shares from Suning (ET would be a shareholder at Suning) to Thohir in exchange for 30% of Inter.

President Jokowi names businessman, President of Inter Milan, Chairman of Indonesian Asian Games Organizing Committee (INASGOC), Erick Thohir as Campaign Leader for 2019 re-election bid


Last Asian Games really shoot his popularity to the moon, and with this if he is success I think he really have a chances to join Presidential election in next 5 years lmao not enough to experienced him as Inter President, we in Indonesian might be will see him as our future President, oh God no. Good thing about this for Inter is, he maybe need to withdrawed all his foreign investment including in Inter as soon as possible since with this current global situation, we really need that dollar to come back to Indonesia and if he really did that it will boast Jokowi popularity even more. Or the worst he will keep Inter on his pocket as long as he can and use it for national campaign purpose maybe invited them for next year Inter tour etc.

his only strenght point is fucking good management. All indonesian knows we don't have enough time for preparing asian games event because former host of the event resigned (Vietnam)

Yet, the event it self was succesful.

now, you can leave.

Fuck you for your trio dutch statement and Thank you for cleaning our club ass.

You dont have any miracle but medicine.
Bitter, but make us healthy again

Thohir resists Inter exit
By Football Italia staff

Erick Thohir is still the President of Inter and insists he won’t sell his 30 per cent of the club “until the time is right.”

He bought out the club from Massimo Moratti in 2013 and sold 68.55 per cent to Chinese conglomerate Suning Group in June 2016.

Despite not being particularly involved in the decision-making process, Thohir is still technically the President of Inter.

“Selling my shares is a business decision and we, as businessmen, always want to wait for the right moment to walk away,” Thohir told IDN Times.

“Don’t forget that I am till the President of the club, even if I am only a minority shareholder.”

According to Tuttosport, Thohir is eager to maintain the prestige of being Inter President, especially after they qualified for the Champions League.

He is branching out into politics, as yesterday he was appointed campaign manger to re-elect Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

Suning, on the other hand, would prefer to complete the takeover and install either Steven Zhang or current Vice-President Javier Zanetti.

He misspelled the time is right instead of the price is right.

Suning were offering him shares from their company but Im assuming he refused, he wants money.

I think the major problem he has with those Suning shares is that he cannot really make use of the money if he sells it. It sort of stays in China with a very limited amount of export allowance, right?
