The promised 20m injection of funds is desperately needed. Probably a good move for Bologna

 

[Osman]

Good luck to Bologna then, another competetive team in Serie A is needed instead of just another minor one.

 

[M.G.]

Good to see the likes of Bologna and last year's Napoli and Genoa replacing the Ascolis and Empolis.

 

[Deano]

Indeed. Good luck to Bolognese

 

[Morierinho]

Interesting to see how this'll turn out.

2 x €20m obviouly isn't an Glazer size investment, but nonetheless the mere fact that a foreign entity owns a calcio club...

The plans to move the homeground, etc., away from the city of Bologna - in fact away from the commune of Bologna - have now been ditched. Seemed like a desperate move that, as well.

Let's see if they can work out a new project.

It will be nice to have a meaningful Derby dell'Appennino.

Hopefully they can put in a bid for Ronaldinho or something.

 

[Morierinho]

Hopefully they can put in a bid for Ronaldinho or something.

Could be done - with the entire amount they invested there'd be enough for transfer fee, sign-on fee, and 1 year's wages :hopeful::horny:

man city...

 

[Morierinho]

Wink wink, I was joking

 

[Primo]

Beautiful city and people, great food, solid club, makes it a good investment. They skipped right over Roma and the Sensis. Smart. :smileani:

 

[camelface]

I was missing the red and blue...

 

[ac_milan_foreva]

I am glad they got sold to a foreign investor. I would like to see how it works out in serie A. I am not very fond of foreing owners, but its something that is invetable in this globalized football world. I am anxious to see what will happen.

Joe Tacopina - the head-man of the investors - speaks a bit.

He is of Roman descent.

 

[Demandred]

Wasn't Joe Tacopina the George Soros lawyer who was supposed to be the negotiator for the Roma takeover bid?

 

[Morierinho]

I'm not sure

 

[Osman]

He is Demandred, the Ari Gold look-alike that was shown holding the Roma scarf.

 

[ToniSamp]

Tacopina has promised that Bologna will be scudetto contenders in 5 years. :howler:

Today they bought Cristian Zenoni from Sampdoria. :happy::thumbsup:

 

[M.G.]

So Fiorentina, Napoli, Sampdoria and Bologna all want to be Scudetto challengers within the next 5 years. The futures of Juve and Milan are doomed.:moan:
