Cardinale made a statement about Inter that the Nerazzurri club didn't like: Marotta replied to Sky.
In recent days some words have emerged from Gerry Cardinale and some members of the Rossoneri management who caused a lot of discussion. They are all part of a 24-page document from Harvard Business School which analyzes the “Milan case”.
The founder of RedBird Capital Partnersa company that owns the Devilhighlighted the importance of winning intelligently: that is, keeping accounts in order and not making risky moves that could ruin the balance sheet. In his speech he also brought up theIntersaying the following: “Inter won the Scudetto and then went bankrupt: is this what we want?“. Words which obviously annoyed the Nerazzurri club and which were also the subject of many comments on social networks.
Inter VS Milan, Marotta replies to Cardinale
Beppe Marotta before Inter-Como he spoke to DAZN and commented on what was stated by Cardinal: “These are inappropriate, out of place and offensive statements. He showed a lack of respect for the prestige, image of the club and its fans. I also think it mixed things up a bit. It is true that our majority shareholder has had economic-financial difficulties in recent years and was supported two years ago by Oaktree, which is now our owner. But the difficulty of the majority shareholder is one thing and the management of Inter is another, which goes through exams such as UEFA's Financial Fair Play and the economic criteria of national licenses“.
The Inter president also reiterated the same concept to Sky Sport and added: “We went from a loss of 246 million to a loss of 46 million, achieving the victory of the Scudetto and the Italian Super Cup last season. Since it's Christmas and we're talking about stars, let's add a bit of irony: we won the second star and we are the only team in Milan to have it“.
We will see if a further response will arrive from Milan, perhaps to better clarify what Cardinale meant. It certainly cannot be said that the Nerazzurri club has had exemplary economic-financial management in recent years, even if from a sporting point of view there is little to say: the results speak for themselves.
