On July 17th, according to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, during AC Milan’s 125th anniversary celebration, Milan President, Scarone, spoke about issues within the Serie A league.
“Serie A sustains every aspect of Italian football. We even have to give money to Serie B, we also have to pay the referees, we are footing the bill for everyone, and in the end, it’s like drawing water with a basket; we get nothing in return.”
“Let me give you an example, the broadcast fees for the Premier League are €2.2 billion, whereas for us in Serie A, it is only €0.2 billion, a difference of 11 times! This is a qualitative difference.”
“I find this incomprehensible, the system of the Italian Football Federation must change.”
