Adriano Galliani is one of the most respected football executives in the world. Former AC Milan supremo is a walking trophy cabinet, along with his longtime partner and Rossoneri owner Silvio Berlusconi and the duo managed to win a staggering eight Serie A titles, five Champions Leagues, one Coppa Italia, five Supercoppa Italiana, three FIFA Club World Cups and five UEFA Super Cups while at charge or the famous club. So, when Galliani speaks about football issues, people listen. And he talks about the Super League, but without English clubs.“We have the ugliest stadiums in Europe. This affects the profits & TV rights because a stadium that is ugly & empty doesn’t sell on TV.We also didn’t build them because beaurocracy stoped everyone.”🗣 Galliani to Tuttosport pic.twitter.com/ebArhGUHcs— Italian Football TV (@IFTVofficial) August 9, 2022 After selling AC Milan in 2017 due to unwillingness to pour more and more money into the club, Berlusconi and Galliani rested for about a year and then started a new project, a Monza football club, who was then in the third-tier of Italian football. Galliani was born in Monza, which explains the reasons why they choose the city, which is also very close to Milan. Three years later, they have managed a Serie A promotion, but years of struggling with small budgets also changed Galliani’s opinion.The Premier League teams have already spent almost 1.5 billion euros – and they won’t stopAfter the Super League failure in 2021, only Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid are all still part of the project, and have vowed to push for it to be introduced, while all other clubs who participated have dropped out, mainly due to the fans protests, and all six Premier League clubs are among them. Still, Galliani, of all people thinks that a European Super League should be created, but without English clubs.##NAJAVA_MECA_6557028##“Premier League clubs earn four times more than Serie A’s. Monza get 33 million euros from TV rights, and we must give 3 million to Serie B. A newly-promoted team in England gets 160 million. How can we compete with Nottingham Forest? And how can I stop this tendency of the world economy? There should be a Brexit in football too. Who makes the British do it to drop 4 billion a year, plus the ever-full stadiums? It would therefore be a real European championship, without the English” said Galliani to Tuttosport. An interesting idea.
