“Tomorrow morning I give 30 million euros!”

• Ion Țiriac says that he will copy the plans for a multipurpose room in the United States of America, but he is disappointed by the attitude of the Romanian authorities!

“Tell your Government that tomorrow morning I will put 30 million euros on the table and five hectares for both a modernized Dinamo stadium and a modernized pavilion. Let them come with 30 million euros, no more! At 60 million, I make a multipurpose room with 18-20,000 seats, but I do it exactly how I want! I am extraordinarily intelligent when I am stupid. When I’m stupid, I just go to the United States, where there are about 500 rooms, and I choose, “No, no, no, no, that’s what I want!” There is no European capital that does not have a multipurpose place for exhibitions, for sports. But who to talk to, because you have no one to talk to! “Ion Țiriac exploded in the GSP interview.
