Starting the championship with debts on the balance sheet is equivalent to starting a competition with an advantage over those who correctly keep the club’s balance sheets. I’m exaggerating? Perhaps, but only for those who wish that the problem of “red in the balance” be taken into consideration only for clubs other than those participating in the Serie A championship. He reported it. by Laurentiisbut I had pointed it out before Soccer and Finance: 18 Serie A teams have 4 billion in debt. In practice, only Napoli and Torino have zero in their accounting document under “gross financial debt”.
The question that all athletes ask is: Isn’t the behavior associated with the other 18 companies more or less associated with “administrative doping”? And then, Covisoc (professional club supervisory commission) periodically carries out its own control activities? It would seem that no and every year, due to this omission, the championship is distorted. Of course it is, because if they allow me to accumulate debt continuously, it means that I can strengthen the team regardless of the rules of financial fair play.
If Juventus had 473 million debts on the balance sheet at 30-6-19, or Inter 312, Roma 225 and Milan 95, then we can say that De Laurentiis, in the eyes of other less moderate teammates, could also pass for being “fool”. No, it is not, is a fair businessman who respects the administrative rules, as well as those of the game. The others do not. The others may even pass for “smart”, but someone would have to force them to stay within the budget parameters necessary to enter the Serie A championship.
Do you think that in an Italian football like this there could be someone capable of forcing Agnelli, Zhang, Friedkin and Elliott to review their behavior in the management of the club? Rhetorical question, because obviously the answer is no. The focus is on common sense, which perhaps the leaders of Italian football ask of those who then, on time, invade the market annually and without any shame. If Juventus is allowed to buy Cristiano Ronaldo and keep buying even in the presence of a “red” of 473 million, then Napoli (or other similar clubs) could imagine the folly of knocking on Messi’s door., offer him all the money he wants and make him wear the blue shirt. So who cares, because no one will say anything.
It is a paradox, but a signal must be given. How? One hypothesis would be to start the championship with fewer points in the ranking, in proportion to the number of millions accumulated. Say one point less for every 10 million reds. I know, everyone will laugh at me and I am not surprised in this country where the rule is not to respect the rules. The trend that Italian football is taking, that of accumulating debts, is one way of doing it, if in the future it is also emulated by virtuous clubs such as Napoli, Torino, Cagliari, Parma and the others who have less than 20 million debts, then it will make a definitive and irreversible implosion of this game that has not generated passion for a long time.
