AC Milan's crisis on the pitch is also hitting their finances off it.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Milan president and Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi is ready to demand a new salary cap from next season.

The plan is to cut the existing wage bill from £100 million down to £70-75 million, which is in stark contrast to champions Inter that spends a steady £100 million-a-year on player wages.

Several Milan players will be asked to take a pay-cut to remain with the club, including Nelson Dida, Emerson and Massimo Ambrosini, who all enjoy salaries in the region of £3 million.

Haha

Link mate?

Gazzetta dello Sport says Milan president and Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi is ready to demand a new salary cap from next season.

Is that a salary cap within Milan or a case of 'we can't afford it anymore after being greedy fuckers for years so all other clubs should be capped'?

They cant afford (special) team Beckham... ha

 

[zeusbheld]

what abject hypocrisy from the team that bought players in the late 80s early 90s just to keep them from going to other teams.

Kaka may yet be ours... if they implode.

kaka and pato ahh fuck it we'll have ronaldinho for the bench aswell

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Ronaldinho can come to us now.

And the other geezer, Kaka. We'll have 'em for a knockdown price. Twenty mill for the pair.

I don't think its a financial crisis but its more to do with paying some "undeserved" players high salaries even if they don't contribute anything to the club. That had been a very long problem in milan specially in the last 5-6 years. Players like Emerson, dida, favalli and others are paid really high salary even though they don't play anymore (some of them are not even on the bench). Milan can't sell those players because they're old and no team wants them and the players don't want to terminate their contracts (after all they're getting pretty good salary while doing nothing)....

That £106 million seems a long way away now...
