I don't oppose it morally. Corporations should pay as much taxes as legally possible.

It's just that football clubs as corporations bring in so much money for the country in other ways as well. Paying rent for the stadiums, attracting tourism to the country and bringing in commercial deals to the league.

So taking away the only financial advantage that they had means they can't attract some of the players that they could before. So it's just less money across the board.

So it just makes sense to not include football clubs in rules like this, especially retroactively.

Italian football lives to see another day

It's probably good for Serie A as it allows our clubs to offer bigger wages and so be more competitive on the transfer market but it's definitely bad for Italian NT..

Seeing Starting XIs like AC Milan or Napoli (one only italian in both, the Right Backs Calabra and Di Lorenzo), seeing transfer policies as

AC Milan that this summer sold a generational for our NT Tonali to replace him with players from abroad only just to take advantage in full force of Growth decree and save on salaries

or

AS Roma that given had no money, proceeded to get a bunch of bang average players as Aouar, Ndicka, Kristensen, Llorente for the same reason instead of betting on some italian youngster, from their youth as Volpato or Tahirovic or Missori

Except for Inter (Bastoni, Dimarco, Barella, Frattesi) I don't see anymore italian top clubs caring to develop homegrown player.
