That way, we have a 60-80m loss, so we need to be reducing spend rather than "balancing" it. If we follow the path of financial pragmatism, we needed to sell Kova and Guarin (and a couple of other players on high salaries) just to balance our books. After that, we match INs & OUTs. But that path leads to mediocrity and the lower half of the table. It could be argued that Inter will end up losing a lot more in terms of reputation/goodwill if we go down that road.
I think Thohir is going for broke. The underlying assumption is that we will qualify for CL next season. If we do, we will balance our books the right way. Yes, its a short cut, and like any short cut, it comes with higher risks. But I believe this is the best way forward. Its time we act like INTERNAZIONALE!
