Recently, Claudio Lotito discussed the abolition of the Growth Decree.
Here are his words:
"The extension for the growth decree cancelled? What a big mistake that has been made. They will see what a mistake it was. It's not okay because the state isn't collecting money. If you have a foreigner paying taxes in Italy, that's better than someone who doesn't come and doesn't pay, right? I want to see who comes now, great idea...", as relayed by Il Napolista website.
Lotito continued:
"This way our league will lose its competitiveness. Last year, there were three teams in all three European finals. Now let's see what will happen. It will mean that the next teams going to the Champions League will be indicated by the AIC (Italian Footballers' Association), they did everything to make it succumb. Well done."
He added:
"Problems with Lazio? Absolutely not, Lazio has its contracts, but that's not the main issue. The real problem is that some clubs will be destroyed by this situation, and among them are big clubs like Milan, Juve, and even Roma. You have to consider one thing: the league will lose its competitiveness now, for sure. They will show us what those who were against this can achieve. AIC was against it, for example, they said things so baseless and illogical, like this decree undermines the growth of Italian youth academies. But bringing those who are 14 years old into the first team? Come on, again with this nonsense."
