As much as I would LOVE for our team to succeed, I would NOT like to have a rich, billionare type of ownership. The team would then turn into a Chelsea, a Manchester City, or even closer to us, a team similar to Inter Merda!
Yep, imagine. The owners would entyce world-famous players to come here because of the $$$ they would offer them. The players would only come here for the contracts, money, and the headlines to come along. Yeah, even new-found Tifosi (fans) would be everywhere. But what kind of owners would they be? What kind of players would they be? What kind of Fans would they be?.... Well, they would undoubtedly be lovers of fame, headlines, and $$$. They would not care for ROMA, the SHIRT, or the fans, as the current stack of ROMA players and tifosi do........get my point? Our team would become a sell out! Nope i can't support that. Now if it happens, then it happens. But I think our team would change tremendously, at all levels. The eventual trophies would be nice, but at what cost?...........
The reason so many fans have stuck with this team for years, and decades, even without any serious championships and trophies, is the loyalty! Yep, the loyalty factor! A perfect example, is Francesco Totti! I think I don't have to say anything further. You should be able to grasp my point!........
