    I’ve always wondered if UK based commentators sway public opinion of Italian teams and Serie A. Almost all Serie A, European competition, and international games aired in the US are commentated on by at least one pundit from the UK. In my opinion, these commentators have at most a bias or at very least know less about Italian teams than English teams. Inevitably, they always bring up calciopoli, Milan’s collapse against Liverpool in the CL Final in Istanbul, corruption, etc. Why would people new to the sport want to follow Italian teams when the people presenting the games to them don’t have anything nice to say?

    I certainly think that Italian football is behind when it comes to creating a brand for the club outside of actually footballing success.

    I feeling like Italian clubs and their fans (due to how traditional Italy is as a country) refuse to make the steps in that direction.

    I feel like maybe Milan is working towards it more than other but they have a sort of history of being the more progressive club. They’ve worked on partnering/collating with fashion brands, famous bands (rolling stones), etc.

    Clubs just need to be recognized more world wide like other PL teams or Barca and RM.

    Language plays a big role these days. New generations speak english. Also, you will never attract owners like Wrexham has, because it’s hard to sell the product

    Stadiums, media deals, and foreign investment. Italy is a bureaucratic disaster, new modern stadiums that are club owned are still twenty years away. If the country weren’t such a tourist destination, it would be on the same economic level as Spain or Portugal.

    The emotional sentiments of the people to bring down old decadent stadiums to built new modern ones so that the people can have a amazing experience and also help the clubs grow world wide , since there’s more money to come from the global market rather then the local one . The greed of the local municipality and also the club owners.

    The lega needs to start developing the league rather than finding faults in the teams.

    Well considering how the majority of transfers in Serie A are loans with mandatory future fees, I assume the short term finances of clubs are all fucked. They effectively spend next season’s transfer budget in the current season perpetually. At least, that’s how I see it.

    nothing but money. italian teams punch above their weight in europe often because of good scouting and managers.

    I don’t actually WANT serie A to be like the premier league. i find serie a games more fun to watch, and the league is competitive.
