The Sienese Franchi is across the street from the place where the buses deposit all the people coming from Florence (and a few morons who were trying to get to San Gimignano and can't read and/or listen to the personnel at the Autostazione SITA) but you don't notice it because it's in a little dip and surrounded by all these trees.   *Actually, my travel plans got messed up (transit strike!) and I wasn't able to get to the Penzo until the evening (this is also why all I saw of Vicenza on this trip was the train station, alas). The guy who was washing the sidewalk outside the church was really apologetic.

Furthermore, now that I'm at an actual computer and not subject to a tablet that has an autocorrect that only Soulex could love, here's some of Albertini's ideas that so pleased Babs/Jim/Agnelli: --Reducing Serie A to 18 clubs, B to 20 and a 60-team Lega Pro A (presumably split into 4 groups of 15) --Capping Serie A squad sizes at 25, of which 10 should be local --More money put into Coverciano Link to a big interview (in Italian) he did with GdS: http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/23-07-2014/rivoluzione-albertini-serie-a-18-squadre-piu-spazio-vivai-801331072976.shtml

Tavecchio is an idiot and he's being insulted by everyone, even people that usually have no word in football related issues like politicians and entrepreneurs. Turns out that Agnelli was right about not wanting him.

Tomorrow the calendar is drawn for 2014/2015. The rules if you are interested: - Last 4 matches every team has to alternate playing at home and away - Can't have two consecutive matches home more than twice in the year - Teams considered to be local derbies and as such, never playing at home concurrently: CHIEVO-HELLAS VERONA GENOA-SAMPDORIA INTER-MILAN JUVENTUS-TORINO LAZIO-ROMA PARMA-SASSUOLO - Derbies for this year will be played in the home stadium of the team that played away the first derby last year Then some special rules due to ultras saying no, presumably (or TV rights): - Matches between Inter-Juventus-Milan-Napoli-Roma, nor the Genoa/Milan/Rome/Turin and Verona derbies can be on non-weekend matches - Derbies cannot be played in the first nor the last match of the season - there are no seeded teams, any team can encounter any other team on any match day, with the exception for derbies as above - you can't have the same match in the same matchday as last year (no Genoa-Fiorentina in the second matchday, for example) - on the first match day you cannot have the above also extended to 2012-2013 (so Fiorentina can't encounter Catania or Udinese on the first match, again for example) - same for the last match (no Pescara or Torino for Fiorentina, then, on the last match) - Champions League teams cannot be matched with Europa League teams in the matchdays between a thursday EL matchday and a UCL match (5th, 8th, 12th and 16th matchday) E: Also the problem with Tavecchio (who controls LND, the amateur leagues) is that with his buddy buddy Macalli (who controls the Lega Pro, the old C1 and C2) they control like 51% of the votes. You can't beat em. canepazzo fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Jul 27, 2014 |

Tavecchio is a known rear end in a top hat but he did manage to turn the Serie D around from a faltering mess in to a league that turns a profit. Unfortunately the last thing I want is to be more business-like, I mean look what that's done to Milan. Albertini has his problems too, and also so did Abete. There's no real candidate that I really like. Also, C1 and C2 are being restructured this year anyway, there was no relegation from C1 to C2 last year and the whole thing is now 60 teams in 3 groups of 20.

Like you said, this should be fun.

Milan is still officially with Tavecchio, per Galliani, even tho Barbara was supporting "a young candidate", so bit confusing there. Sampdoria is owned by Ferrero now, former porn-movie producer and owner of some multiplexes in Rome, but otherwise yeah, they're against him now.

It was more. Of a why skip the middle man and make more? I think they only paid like 2m and he's going to be sold to Juve for around 7m. I'm confused on what they've been doing tbh. Not trading Alonso for money + Diakite was odd, and I still have no idea how Basanta is. Hopefully he's the answer to the back three. Also Super Mullet is out for a while with injury. I can't loving wait. Rossi, Valero, Gomez, Cuadrado, Vargas. PHWOAR!

The stadium project that Pallotta has presented to the Roma administration is shady as poo poo and thus been blocked by the mayor - in the presentation, the Roma delegate Zanzi mentioned how it would be the team's property, but in the proposal it specifically says that it will be controlled by a society owned by Pallotta but independently from the team, and that Roma will have the exclusive use of it, though they'd have to pay rent. So nothing at all like Juventus Stadium and definitely not a source of income, but rather just a new structure with same or even higher expenses.

Holy poo poo, were they just super duper lazy on how they tried to hide that? Does Roma still have a chance at a new stadium given that being found out? I cannot imagine it's going over well....

That is some loving garbage and makes me angry that they even tried this. I thought Pallotta was gonna be good for this team but if this is what he's trying to pull then he's starting to look a lot like the Glazers or Hicks and Gillete. Good on the city of Roma for blocking it.

GG, I should just assume that today's match increased your desire for something really, truly awful to happen to Mexès, correct?canepazzo posted:The stadium project that Pallotta has presented to the Roma administration is shady as poo poo and thus been blocked by the mayor - in the presentation, the Roma delegate Zanzi mentioned how it would be the team's property, but in the proposal it specifically says that it will be controlled by a society owned by Pallotta but independently from the team, and that Roma will have the exclusive use of it, though they'd have to pay rent. Over the past couple of months I've read a few "Rome's mayor won't take the bullshit anymore"-type stories and I just sort of rolled my eyes, but maybe this is an indicator that he actually won't. Or maybe, as Robviously suggested, this was just so lazy and stupid that it couldn't be allowed to stand.

I really thought that he was honestly interested in the club and was going to follow the example of the only club in the country that's managed to do well for itself in the past 3 years or so, but instead its gone the predictable way of dodgy companies, webs of agencies and non existent buying groups, and I guess outright lies at this point.

There is the possibility that they don't initially put the stadium under Roma ownership to work around the huge expense, so that it doesn't weigh on their budget, to then sell it for a symbolic amount once ready (like one dollar) but the city has for now stopped any progress until this is clarified. In other news, there's been some nervousness in the last few days in Napoli's training, with Callejon being sent to the showers yesterday by Rafa for not working properly / not concentrated, Behrami stomping off to showers in the following session, and Insigne refusing to talk and being booed off the stage in a Napoli event a couple days ago. ADL, as usual, diplomatically tried to clear up the air and bring back the harmony "Callejon and Behrami? They're angry cause I don't sell them"

Great to see 3/4th of the top of the league turning into more of a dumpster fire this close to the start of the season.  I'm glad that Roma's mayor isn't gonna let the city get steamrolled in the deal. Juve gave a lot of teams a near perfect example of what to do in regards to stadium construction, if nothing else. I really do hope Roma fans are furious because I'm furious for them. It's completely inexcusable to try to pull that kind of poo poo. It sounds like they tried to straight up lie about what was in the contract and I can't picture the kind of balls you would have to try that. Any more deals attempted that way and we'll be counting days until Francis starts excommunicating teams. ADL is the only gem right now cause I can listen to and laugh at his team, and my brother's frustrations with them, all day long.

Galliani confirmed Milan's support for Tavecchio, as well as ADL for Napoli and Zamp. Cesena and Empoli crossed the line and joined the dissidents, as did Sampdoria. This will still not matter anyway as Tavecchio is gonna win unless he steps down, as explained above he controls together with Macalli and Beretta a huge majority of votes; however just for information, there's currently 6 clubs opposing Tavecchio (and since Albertini is the only other candidate, supporting him) versus 14 serie A teams, Serie B, Lega Pro and CND. So about 80% of votes are in Tavecchio's camp. RE: Roma stadium, Pannes, who's the right hand of Pallotta, "clarified" the property issue; there's 2 groups, both reporting to Pallotta. One of these groups owns A.S. Roma and is basically the team's board, the other is a financing group that owns a smaller share of Roma, and which will be owning the stadium. When asked what happens if one of these 2 groups gets sold but not the other, he dismissed it as "extremely unlikely" to happen. The reason of this change of plans is that Unicredit, the bank that owns a majority of the shares, called themselves out from the stadium project. Still very unclear to me. canepazzo fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Jul 28, 2014 |
