Inter President and owner Erick Thohir says the club is fully committed to fulfilling UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations. UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body yesterday listed Inter and Roma amog those under investigation as part of Financial Fair Play legislation. It is an aspect that Thohir insists that his club is doing everything necessary to abide by.
“We have focused a lot on this aspect and we are obliged to observe these rules,” Thohir told Sky Sport Italia. “The results with respect to last year are better, not only in terms of the increase in turnover, but also in terms of the reduction of costs. The current reality of football is no longer what it used to be, when you could acquire any player you wanted. It doesn’t work that way anymore. You need to spend only what a club can spend. This is a challenge for us and we need to get used to it. The model from which we take inspiration from is working in other countries like the United States. I think we will be able to follow the UEFA rules and anyway, until now, we are doing well.”
In an interview with La Stampa, Thohir also mentioned strategies that Inter and other Seria A teams could adopt to make the league more attractive and competitive. “We have to render the product of calico more rich in terms of TV rights, diminish the number of teams and, last but not least, have stadiums that are adequate for our needs. With Milan and the other institutions we have brought forward shared strategie which will enable us to improve the San Siro, in 2016 we will host the final of the Champions League, it will be a great privilege.”
