⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2025/2026

[slaman29]

About Italian football, so many things. Being less and less competitive in Europe and having the least amount of money is one thing,,, you can see and hear Italian stadiums are breaking down, academies are getting bankrupt, and teams are selling out, many teams do not even own their own stadium in Italy, San Siro, Stadio Maradona, these big teams can't even afford to buy or manage their own playing home  

Then talking about foreign owners,,, half of Serie A has US ownership, Como is the biggest example of how Serie A clubs is just a playtoy for the rich, changed ownership and image multiple times, now owned by Indonesia, like there is so many things to make you lose passion

Some people do not care, Premier League is even more foreign owned but those fans do not really care   And at least in Premier League usually US is not the controlling owner.

Then in that case the same thing is happening to a lesser attempt in La Liga, sure we still own our stadium but it has ugly Spotify name now I still hate it with all my core. We sold all the rights for years and years ahead just to try and get financially more stable.

One big house of cards that will fall down at some point.

But I didn't know the situation was this bad in Italy, when the government owns everything, they will soon start to own the FA and then lose games to each other when ownership wants certain clubs to win.

Land of the mafia, what to expect

First of all about the US ownership i think is happening in all the european football in england is the same for example Wrexham is owned by Ryan Reinolds, and a lot of other teams are owned by Lebron James and the list can goes on. But yes i dont like it also.

In the justice discussion of Italy the other day it was a vote to change some pretty old rules in the justice system but the NO to change wins by a little margin so all remains the same.

Correct,,, but like I said earlier, in Italy the US owners have more control, in Premier League generally ownership shares is not so controlling. But yes this is the trend, but I am saying its worse in Italy. Other leagues should pay attention,,, the same conditions will come to them. Mafia remains in Italy by the way, and they see now they cannot even qualify for World Cup what a sad joke.

But also like you said we have the example in England of Wrexham which is 100% owned by US, but that is a Hollywood version of events and they actually bought a small club and making it big.
