Great post. "Lest We Forget"

"Still taking the piss" Former Italy international Alessandro Altobelli said it’s ‘joyful’ winning at Wembley against England. ‘They always think they are the greatest, but in their trophy cabinet there’s one rusty cup from 1966’. The 65-year-old, a previous centre-forward capped 61 times by the Azzurri, was happy after the win on penalties over England on Sunday night. “It’s joyful winning at Wembley against England,” Altobelli told RAI Sport. “Who always think they are the best, the greatest, the most talented, the most beautiful. “And yet if you look in their trophy cabinet there’s one rusty cup from 1966! Go look at our trophy cabinet, it’s packed!”"

THE REASON WHY MILAN ARE REFUSING TO PLAY BAKAYOKO by Apollo Heyes | Feb 20, 2022 12:19 Tiemoue Bakayoko is not having a good season with Milan and poor performances are not the only reason why he’s currently sidelined in the Lombardy capital. The 27-year-old French midfielder has made 13 Serie A appearances this season for the Rossoneri, but only five of those games were starts and he has not featured since the 2-1 loss to Spezia last month. He has only played the full 90 minutes of a match twice this campaign, and he didn’t impress either time. As highlighted by Rudy Galetti, one of the main reasons why Milan are not playing Bakayoko is because the conditional obligation to buy clause attached to his loan deal is linked to the number of appearances made. The Frenchman joined the Rossoneri from Chelsea last summer in a €2m loan deal, with the conditional obligation to buy clause set at around €15-20m. The Milanese club have no intention of making his stay permanent, and so it’s unlikely he’ll receive regular playing time now under Stefano Pioli.

ROME, FEB 25 - Premier Mario Draghi said Friday that the knock-on effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine were set to have a major impact on the Italian economy and, with the energy sector a particular concern, it may be necessary to reopen coal-fired power plans to meet the nation's energy demands.

Inconceivable that Roman would purchase a property, in a foreign country, without his Legal team adding a Indemnity Clause (to compensate any loss incurred by other party). He’s far too sharp to risk his wealth, and quite right too. After all, it works for “Big Pharma”, they love a Shell Company or 3. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/johnson-johnson-defend-talc-bankruptcy-court-2022-02-14/ Fancy another Booster ?

Not fade away... published last week He's right, of course, to defend his Club ( and other Clubs ) against impending insolvency, and he's not alone. Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis angrily ranted against TV rights contracts and the Super League project. "I always told Andrea Agnelli he was getting this wrong.’ The patron was speaking at the Passepartout Festival and discussed the recent failed attempt to create a breakaway league, a plan Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still pushing. “The Super League comes from the fact institutions try to build on our money and our investment. What interest does Real Madrid, Juve or Napoli have in playing the Champions League and going into debt in order to make €70-80-90-100m more when we spent €200-300m ( buying players/wages/Agents Fees ) to get there? “It doesn’t work. “I am part of the ECA (European Club Association) and I always told Agnelli he was getting it wrong with the Super League, because they wanted to become the principle actors of the system, but instead they should’ve democratically left the door open to everyone. “We do need to create another competition and take it away from UEFA, keeping UEFA as some sort of secretary general. We clubs would then give UEFA a percentage of the revenue rather than have them pay us. “Agnelli, Perez and the others made the mistake of not declaring football has failed due to the institutions. They keep promising change and it never happens. It’s always, we’ll think about it, let’s see what happens. Football should be developing continually.” The Napoli President was also asked about his difficult rapport with journalists. 😡😡 😡 “It’s not that I hate journalists. My press conferences are animated because they ask idiotic questions,” insisted ADL. “It’s not that I don’t want to hear their comments, they are simply banal. It sounds like they are all copied and pasted from each other, can nobody think of something new? De Laurentiis also turned his ire towards the growing impact of television rights and the coverage these companies demand in return. “Can you imagine these players in the locker room concentrating before a game, there’s Kostas Manolas praying and kissing his little religious relics, another has his hands towards the sky in prayer, there’s someone with a ball ( Testicle ) hanging out, a willy ( RODney ) on the right, they arrive with their TV cameras and say they have a contract with Sky or whoever? "We’re idiots, then. “When I say football doesn’t work, it’s because we are old-fashioned. Unfortunately, when Sky started in Italy, it was a great television station, very Anglo-Saxon in style. Now you see even RAI or Mediaset are better, because they learned from that model and improved.” •••••••••••••••••••••••••• Nor is this a new phenomena in GB https://youtu.be/FtWO1QySBdo
