Galliani finally voted in as League president

Tuesday 9th July 2002

AC Milan managing director Adriano Galliani was finally elected Italian League (LNP) president on Tuesday after gaining a large enough majority in the fifth round of voting.

Galliani won 24 of the votes - one more than the required majority - and will take charge of the LNP with immediate effect. In the previous round he had won 22 votes.

The LNP, which is the governing body for the top two divisions in Italy, has been without a president since Franco Carraro resigned to take charge of the Italian football federation last year.

Last month, 55-year-old Galliani vowed he would avert a strike by Serie A clubs next season if he was elected president. "As things stand, 16 clubs will boycott the start of the campaign unless a TV deal is arranged," he said.

"It's time to go to work but it will be impossible to have a unanimous decision. I have already written to 38 presidents in Serie A and Serie B.

"Obviously, I know now eight Serie A clubs and the majority of the 20 Serie B clubs don't have a TV contract. I was asked to stand for president by a group of club chiefs and was happy to put myself forward."

Well, guys ... there is already a thread at the Milan forum reading -sth like good for Milan, death for Italian football. Personally, i think it is all about politics and this is simply Silvio's long arm ... he wants to controll everything. And though i am a milan fan I just don't like all this so much ... hope I am wrong - for the benefit of Milan, Italian and European football.

Galliani voted in as League supremo: Milan will win the scudetto...

AC Milan will win the scudetto in the 2002/2003 season, you can bet on that!

(edited by Jun-Lei coz it posted the same article as Bono, as a result of the merging of the threads).

Just to illustrate my words ... just spoke to a very good friend of mine - italian. He confirmed for me that Franco Carraro, the frmr League President and frmr Major of Rome, is Socialist and definitely not liked by Silvio ...

Italia is so ****ed.
The most incompetent man in football is its head.

Just want to ask the FMs here to merge the two topics and then delete this post ... thanks!

With Baldy Galliani as president, this title is ours:stuckup::drool::strong::fero::devil::horny:

have to say that this bodes too well for Milan and not at all well for Italian football in general... Why can't Silvio just poke his nose into something else? Flour for instance? :rollani:

Well, whilst this is a bad move generally (I hate the man for stealing Carlo just as Parma were about to sign him last season ) I also must point out that at least one thing will be evened out. The number of dodgy referee decisions will be split 50/50 between Juve & Milan

I like those odds

Ass-laughing comments in perspective from Cam! Looking forward to next season! :lick:

It is amazing, however, how many ppl have mentioned Juve in one sentense with Milan and Galliani as President. Almost noone has seem to forget you even in these circumstances ... should be happy about it, Steph ... always remembered :howler:

:broken:

WTF ?... A conspiracy? :devil:

Hell, NO! This is Bono we're talking about! The guy who once privately admitted he would like Juve to win the scudetto for fùck's sake! Yep, you heard me! Shame on him, eh Cammie!? In collusion with the devil!

 

[Steph!]

Btw Bono - I take you at your words...
Only Cam mentioned Juve. You and I are disqualified... as fans!

 

[bono]

Come on Steph, you know better than anyone else (apart from Glen ) what i am talking about ...

And when did I say that I wish Juve to win the Scudetto :fero: This is NUTS ... some Inter fans have been going after me for ages to admit that I will be happy if Inter wins it, now you and this CRAP ... come on ... plaese ...

If I have said sth of the sort it was in context - true, if I have to chose between Inter and Juve for the Scudetto I will chose your freaking bludy female team for the sake of the logic, i.e. the Scudetto should stay where it belongs - MILAN or juve ... and everything else ( Inter for ex ) should happen less if never - everyone should know their place :devil: ... I still can't hate them as much as I do the black and whites ...
You see it is kinda complicated ... mistical ... :dazed:

Galliani's REAL, Secret Agenda...

Yes, the league is fixed and the champ is chosen, but it's not who you guys think...

:star: FORZA PISTOIESE!!!! :star: :happy: :wallbang: :googly: :eyepatch:

 

[Steph!]

To all Inter fans in the place: important notice...

After careful consideration (helped by the freezing cold of a gun against my hand), and after accused Bono brought some issues involving his person to my attention, I deny that Bono ever, in any way, (you bet!) commited the high crime of betrayal I charged him with prior to this post: supporting Juventus FC that is.

My deepest apologies for any inconveniance.




PS - Yes, i know what you were talking about! Well, bring them on!!! :fero:
