Cagliari manager, Walter Mazzarri, claims the difference in revenue between English and Italian clubs is a key thing that separates both competitions.
Juventus is the biggest club in Italy and has been one of the elite sides in European competitions apart from the last three seasons.
However, the Bianconeri revenue can be compared to some of the smallest clubs in the English top flight.
Meanwhile, in Serie A, Juve’s earnings place them in a class of their own and that is one reason they have been buying the best players possible around the continent.
Mazzarri says when you have money, you can buy the best players, offer them the best salaries and convince them to join you.
This is what English clubs enjoy, but in Italy, they don’t have all the resources and that differentiates both competitions.
Mazzarri tells Sky Sport Italia as quoted by Football Italia: “The English are good at marketing and they’ve got more revenue.
“I know this because I saw the budgets of even the smaller clubs in England, who have more or less the same revenue as Juventus, who in Italy are miles ahead of everyone else.
“When you have a lot of money, you can buy great players and offer them very big salaries to convince them to go there, something we cannot do in Italy at the moment, leaving sides who are seventh or eighth in Serie A.”
Juve FC Says
His comment makes it even more commendable that Juventus is still buying some of the finest players in the world.
We have continued to make the Italian league a relevant competition by bringing some big names into it.
We deserve more recognition. Instead, the legal authorities are investigating the club and trying to find dirt in our business dealings.
However Italian top clubs should have more Italian as important member…so as the English. Otherwise it is something that you should not actually call them a rep of their country in European stage.
Scraping the Three Foreignets rule catapulted the English league and destroyed Serie a along with the patronal vendetta from gravina and crew to stoll grind us into the dust means the best chance for success in Europe, Juventus for a long long time falls short and there’s nothing to market
Disagree, clubs have fans all around the world and that’s why the English are ahead because they market to the world and have squads that represent the world. I want a team full of the best players regardless of where they are from not a squad just full of Italian players. We have the World Cup for that which Italy has not qualified for the last 2 cycles.
If its so great to be healthy why are clubs adding 10 to 20 m to a price for Juventus out of spite?. They can blab all they want, any success we’ve had we’ve earned. Gravina and the gang will see you ground to dust for his personal vendetta just like Tim did before… plus the English marketed to non European countties while am oil baron destroyed the reputation of the whole league forever at the same time because his team wasn’t good enough.
