I understand if others want Pallotta to pump money into the club as the new Milan owners do but I've always said that - in the case Roma gets sold by the Sensis - I'd rather have an owner who doesn't just make Roma the next plastic club or toy of his own. I want Roma to be a self-sustaining club that doesn't immediateley get ruined if its owner decides to pull out. Even if that comes at the cost of missing titles.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read somewhere a couple of years back that if a new owner buys a club, they get to spend some X amount of dollars in the first year which doesn't count towards FFP planning?
My question is whether or not the deficit Milan worked up over the last few years counts. They made some big money splashes without huge sales the last few summers. They had to be under water going into the mercato. Does the sale of the club completely wipe the slate clean?
Its true, but as I remember it, it is supposed to be on infrastructure not players. Also Milan dealings this summer will only have effect at the end of the current fiscal year for them when player values are amortised and salaries take toll.

It does not because our FFP woes were due to the Sensi years from which we are now just emerging. No matter how you slice it in 5 years from now ACM are going to be in trouble. I'm fairly certain the only reason the sale was allowed to go through was because Berlusconi pulled some strings. The new owners didn't even have the money to buy the club, they certainly don't have the money to spend like this. They owe 300 mill @ 11.5%, plus all of this transfer money, wages. Unless the league or UEFA step in this is going to end badly for a very storied club.
This was posted in a local Milan forum: #Milan have spent (including wage’s, bonuses, fee’s and agent commissions) €332m so far for 2017 summer. And they are currently trying to buy Aubameyang or Belotti, which would probably make it above 400mil. They make less money per season than Roma and probably pay bigger wages - how are they going to get those 400mil. back... No one knows.
When they sell them all and more in a year or two. What I'd like to see when new owners buy any club is that they must submit a plan to the league and UEFA that must be approved. Until that happens they cannot buy any players.
This is insane, but we now have a very strong top four in Italy. Good thing they got the fourth spot back, it may come in handy for us!
Football Italia are hilarious. They felt the need to "report" that Bonucci was official after the club confirmed. You don't even need a keyboard to be a journo anymore, just a smart phone and an index finger.
That's what anyone and everyone do. @GamE_Ove12 translates everything, making RomaPress obsolete. It all comes from the same couple sites in Italy. He/she has done well with their account, good GIFs and stuff.
Haha, never miss an opportunity for a shot at that Roma press guy. Can confirm game over is a good follow. Wait no, I'm reporting it.
Yeah until game time and he flips out at the first bad pass like a 16 year old girl who just sprouted a pimple on her face the day of prom. Nope he's a bitch.
No more insane than G wandering around Europe handing large contracts to anyone who doesn't have one.

Where do you get this from? I don't think that this is true. The club was sold in 2011, anything before that shouldn't have an impact onto the FFP problems we're facing now.
Why is it that Milan make less money, or lose more money, compared to Roma each year? I'm sure the answer's simple but I simply haven't heard it.
It doesn't. The point is that our revenues were so low and our budget wasn't balanced, it took a long time to get it under control.
Bayern claim that Milan are trying to sign Renato Sanches. 7 million loan with buy option for another 40 million. This comes after making Biglia official this morning for 20 million.
