I have added a section in ...Thanks for the comment. I have added a section in the article: &quot;It seems in the absence of any forthcoming legal imperative, clubs have shown some welcomed initiative, and the success of their initiative has depended on the extent to which city councils have been willing to negotiate. For example, in the case of Juventus, the negotiations were swift, and the Turin city council sold the Stadio Delle Alpi to the club. Of course, given all the well-known problems of the Stadio Delle Alpi--discussed in part here--Juventus elected to level the stadium to build a new home.&quot;<br /><br />I think apart from money and desire, city councils need to show some flexibility as well. Galliani has been talking about a new stadium for a while. For example, see this BBC article from October 2005: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/4315214.stm<br /><br />However, it seems dealing with the city council of Milan has been extremely difficult. As for what&#39;s holding Berlusconi back...all your points seem to have validity. It may be unwillingness as you suggest, and/or he--and lawmakers--may have their hands full with other more compelling issues (economy, Berlusconi&#39;s own personal scandals). <br /><br />It is sad to see how little Berlusconi has invested in the last few years (summer 2010 apart) when compared to the earlier years. A new stadium would see Milan be a bit more self-sufficient, helping the club deal with Financial Fair Play rules better.Hasan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169509006779026419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511853346696528507.post-73297426386829383612011-10-01T17:09:27.085-04:002011-10-01T17:09:27.085-04:00This part 2 is just as good as the original piece,...This part 2 is just as good as the original piece, thanks again.<br /><br />But you see, your article just proves that if the money and desire are there - stadium&#39;s will be built.<br /><br />De Launrentiis might be an A-hole, but kudos to him for contributing to the rise of Serie A. I hope their project improves from now on and gives other top clubs incentives to invest and improve as well.<br /><br />Again, when it comes to Berlusconi, a person with his resources and influence can build whatever he wants. So, what&#39;s holding him back?<br />- doesn&#39;t want to further jeopardize his political image by splashing cash on Milan<br />- doesn&#39;t have money after Fininvest fine<br />- doesn&#39;t want to spend big money on Milan anymore<br />-- ????<br /><br />What do you think?souvenir of sadnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546524457245354097noreply@blogger.com
