Former Milan player Zvonimir Boban believes that unless changes are made to the current Financial Fair Play system, the two Milan clubs will continue to have difficulties in getting back to the top.

“If there are no corrections to the Financial Fair Play system, Inter and Milan will struggle to get back on track,” Boban said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.

“That’s true for them, and obviously for all the clubs which aspire to compete for the highest objectives. I can’t say enough about the work that’s been done over the past 10 years to secure football accounts, but the rules to impose a balanced budget can’t prevent entrepreneurs from making new investments. It seems to me that’s the case for clubs like Milan and Inter.”

The Croatian then spoke on the racist chants heard during Inter versus Napoli on boxing day.

“Incidents like this are bad for football. I know it’s difficult to suspend a delicate match like Inter-Napoli, but maybe that was the time to do it.

“Football can’t solve these problems on its own though, it needs the help of the authorities and for long-term measures to be put in place.”
