Think that as nearly every post from you , lid, seems to be trying to increase everyone's concerns regarding the number of incomings required , you should just chill a bit.
Probably better for you , and you will see that the club is hopefully moving forwards.
Merely repeating the same mantra , in a different way , in multiple threads , doesn't help anyone.
In my respectful view , that is. You are obviously entitled to your view.
Have my suspicions about Bally.
 

Can i ask you why need sell for ffp is the club not getting run correctly?
Our financial position is - and especially was prior to the Friedkins' takeover - precarious.

The best thing TFG has done for us is spending a lot of money to fix our balance. We're getting better each year, but in 2022 we signed an agreement with UEFA. We must reach losses 0 by 2026. We went from losing 130 mln euros a year in 2022 to 30 mln a year in 2024. They've made a great job financially. They spent at least 700 mln euros to secure our financial position. And, currently, we owe most of our debt to TFG, which means basically to ourselves until they own us.

Having them behind us has been crucial, and I wish they had the same acumen in football.

The strange outcome of this situation has become evident lately. Lazio has a tiny debt compared to ours, but they don't have an owner who can assure solvency. So they cannot buy players this summer, they have been blocked by the league. We have much more debt, we're just starting to get better, yet TFG and its capital injections keep us alive and working.

In the last 5 years, we've been artificially kept alive by them. It's been estimated that TFG put 1 billion into AS Roma, more than any other ownership in Serie A.


And they want to build a stadium with a further investment of 1 billion


Let's say they have money to spare and firmly believe in this project. 😁

These investments have gone mostly unnoticed because they're focused on stability and growth. Had they splashed money on players, as they could have done in the pre-FFP era, the world would have known.

and once the players start getting signed it’ll undoubtedly change to “these players aren’t good enough to keep us up” or “look at the quality compared to the signings of (insert champions league club)”
