Money talks

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentis is certainly putting “his money where
his mouth is.” The beloved leader of S.S.C. Napoli has vowed to return Napoli to
its glorious past. He has expressed his desire to be mentioned not only with the
giants of Italy but to have Napoli take its place with European giants Real
Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United*.

Restoring Napoli to a European giant will require time, a solid and legal
strategy, the right infrastructure and money. Lots and lots of money. The type
of money that mid-table dwellers like Reggina, Udinese, Siena and Catania can’t
begin to spend without fear of bankruptcy. Napoli has been there. The sentence
(likely to be relegation) is stiff and takes years to recover. Just ask any
Genoa fan. After playing at the San Siro and the Stadio Olimpico no squad wants
to suffer the fate of playing at the Stadio Comunale in Teramo in front of a
packed house…of 4,000.

Napoli spent the 6th highest amount in Italy during the transfer market and
now rank 10th of all Serie A teams in terms of player salaries.

Now let’s go grab a EUFA Cup spot and start kicking some ass!

* I chose three squads…no disrespect intended to Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool and the rest.
