Wonderful player in his prime but damn he is finished
Such a shame, I'm not exactly sure what happened with Theo, he is still 27 but his decline has been immense

Milan are an absolutely finished club it seems. I take no pleasure in saying that as they were so special on the park with Sacchi, the three Dutchmen, Maldini, Costacurta, Baresi etc when I was growing up. But they have been hit hardest by the decline of Serie A financially as well as spectacular mismanagement.
I don't think they'll win another European Cup in my lifetime unless something major changes.

The problem with teams such as Milan and Inter I suppose too is that they either don't have money to invest due to the stadium bottleneck or their owner don't want to invest due to their stadium issue and cannot attract good owners due to that either.
San Siro is falling apart. Both teams want to basically tear it down and build it anew again. It's really limiting what they can do in terms of revenue brought in.
But the stadium is owned by the municipality, and they won't allow them to renovate San Siro or build a stadium anywhere else in or around the city.
Roma have a similar problem as well as other teams in Italy.
The politics there is just awful.

Never been to Italy but a lot of people say it's an extremely corrupt country.

I suppose the good news is they only need 5 stadiums as they're splitting 50/50 with Turkey. They do have a lot of useable stadia that meet the capacity demands, even if they're not in the best condition.

Plan is for most stadiums to be renovated in time but we'll see. They should select the stadiums by October 2026.

I wonder if they'll go with stadia from the traditional big Italian clubs, or give the smaller cities a chance. A lot depends on transport links, politics, money of course, lol, etc.
Be cool if places like Cagliari, Genoa and Bologna get to be hosts.
I'd assume the Olympic Stadium will host the final. I'd be amazed if Turkey got the final over Italy.

Used to work for an Italian company for many years and the Italians would blow up at each other within seconds in any meeting
Most stadiums in Italy are state owned and it’s the knocking down that can be problematic especially if it’s a listed building or on listed ground.

Hahaha yeah I assumed they'd be like that. They're an angry lot many of them.Used to work for an Italian company for many years and the Italians would blow up at each other within seconds in any meeting

Yeah sounds like they're in a bit of a purgatory where they wanna knock down and rebuild but cannot because of politics.
Hope you're doing well, always good to see you online. Sucked about the CL for Villa but I know you think EL is your level anyway. Great effort until the last game of the season to almost get there. That 'goal' being ruled out at Old Trafford was a joke.
You have a real good chance in that competition.
