By the way, basketball has super league several years already. Just google EuroLeague.

Great example

First of all, ULEB who runs Euroleague is corrupt as fuck.
Second, there's been a lot of friction between FIBA and ULEB. FIBA is weak as fuck, there was no UEFA equivalent in basketball anyway, so ULEB won, basketball lost. The standards were quite good as long as owners were willing to pump money in a competition that was bringing losses to the teams.

Recently, they revamped the competition, and still, not all of them make money, not even the competition. Last week, half of the teams filed a lawsuit against ULEB

Basketball in Europe is also a dying sport, its prime ended in the early 2010s. It's always been very corrupt as well. Most players leave too early anyway and mostly scrubs come nowadays.

Awful, awful example. I could write 5 pages of how awful this parallelism is, but I'll leave it here.

everything and everyone is corrupt as fuck

what is not corrupt as fuck?

 

[cherntodd]

So basically human race is doomed. 3rd party organizations are corrupt, and 1st party organizations are also corrupt.

But my main point still stands. The risk is now on the founding clubs and if other teams want to take the risk not just the potential profit, then let us go to traditional sporting merit based competition.

lets say other serie a teams kick us out

what money they will get from tv deal?

they will go down faster then us

 

[cherntodd]

Yeah, that is basically the main bargain point of the founding clubs. Everyone, large or small teams, knows where the money comes from.

I read that the democratic system in Bundesliga is not one club one vote. Decisions are voted by several representatives in order to prevent small teams from dragging big teams from the back such that the global competitiveness of Bundesliga is weakened.

On the other hand, Serie A did a terrible job on making decisions. While Premier League signed a huge broadcasting deal, Rubentus, Milan, and Inter's TV income were actually reduced thanks to the deal Serie A signed.

Comparisons to NBA aren't relevant. NBA didn't ride roughshod over 100+ years of sporting history and culture.

I don't know about you guys but my support for inter isn't just the name 'Inter' - it's the geography, history and heritage that connects the current players, coach etc. to the ones that have played for our colours and badge for decades, against other clubs most of whom we have now discarded as if they don't exist.

I can't see how I can support the club anymore unless the super league were to be rejected AND Suning and the entire management that went along with this idea are removed.

I understand your point but it doesn’t solve the problem. Without a practical method to solve the financial problem, Inter is essentially doing a slow motion suicide, and it’s unfair to whatever owner now and afterwards. Eventually it hurts the fans.

Many people are saying things like this USL is free money and Inter is sacrificing the moral standard for money or some privileges. To me, it’s the only foreseeable investment Inter can make in order to survive and remain competitive. If Inter makes mistakes or plays badly, and sinks to Serie B, I will still and always support this team solely. But I won’t blame they are trying to survive as an ambitious club by using any means within the law and rules.

im wondering what we dont know about our real financial situation

 

[vex]

Surely this means we are getting sold, or I would hope so...

[Glass box]

Out.

 

[F U C K MILAN]

Can they also grow some balls and withdraw us from this shit show.....would be a nice fuck you to their vice chairman as well

 

[Puma]

Suning and Zhang are absolute cowards: scheming and hiding away in China away from scrutiny and the glare of public opinion in Italy, pushing through changes to the brand and remaining quiet on the fact that we were one of the founding Super League clubs. And even now, with the English clubs withdrawing, we remain silent. Suning and Steven Zhang's silence are not a coincidence. They are confirmation that our owners are only in it for the money and that what Inter fans want does not count or matter.

With the collapse of the Super League, they need to fuck off and find us a new buyer because they can no longer hold onto the club and rely on the Super League to cure our financial ills.

 

[kurt0411]

Get the fuck out of this club.

 

[ElDiego22]

Go away forever, Zhang. You are not welcome at Inter any longer. Pack your stuff back to China and stay there. Inter has values that you abandon for greed and guys like you aren't welcome. FORZA INTER!

Poeple are Zhang Out, Suning Out, understandably so. But who would buy us, BC Partners? Pif? You think those guys would oppose a super league? The only real solution against that would be 50%+1 ownership like in Germany, which I don't think is forthcoming any time soon.

Everyone talks 50%+1, but why doesn't anyone talk 100% like Barcelona or Real Madrid structures?

I'm not familiar with that, but I know that it didn't stop them from spearheading this fuckery.

 

[.h.]

I dont practically see how a 50+1 model can be retrofitted. Owners havae 100% equity, so you'd havae to buy them out of 50+1 and have it owned by a supporters club? or something? But who would invest into the supporters club knowing theres no chance of ever getting pay back?

Its easy to start t 50+1, but its damn hard to retrosecptively apaply. Kinda alike infrastructure. Easy to privatise, hard to nationalise.
