Rossoneri Round-up for 23 May: Milan in trouble with UEFA

So yeah, that happened.

Milan are in trouble with UEFA over FFP violations and with concerns that Milan won’t be able to generate enough income to pay off the loan to Elliot Management that is due in October.

Of course, the best way for UEFA to guarantee that income won’t be generated is to throw Milan out of Europe and penalize them more money, right?

Anyway, Milan’s board will have to go before a UEFA committee and beg for mercy, basically, in order to not have draconian penalties placed on them because the previous owners played games with the money and the new owners apparently don’t have any money.

All of this is annoying and expect more shenanigans to occur all summer.
