Chairman Como: I hope the club will become a brand in the future and be able to generate income independently

Recently, Como Club Chairman Mirwan Suisso was interviewed by Sky Sport Insider. He talked about the team's plans and his personal feelings.

About the goals of the club

"Now my job has become more complex, the goal is to make a profit. It is much harder than it looks, it is easy to spend money, but for every euro spent, we need to earn one euro back. Therefore, my job is becoming more and more difficult. However, I enjoy the job more now. We spent most of last year hanging around the bottom of the table and it was tough every week and now I can breathe a sigh of relief. "If someone leaves the club, whether it will be in the transfer market

"That will be another matter, I hope. There were offers from big clubs for our players and I'm always happy to discuss these things. Last summer we had several offers, one of which was accepted but the player rejected it. Another one came on the last day before the transfer window closed and I was asked if I would accept it eight hours ago. "

Can you reveal who it is?

"It's a winger from a Saudi club. If I had received it earlier, I would have agreed, but I asked the player if he wanted to play in Saudi Arabia, and he said no. . So it's okay, because I would have said no anyway."

On Nico Paz's new deal with Real Madrid

"I don't think it's necessary, because of the buy-back clause, Real Madrid will retain the rights no matter what we do, so you can say that he is our 'ideal. There’s a lot of players. We’re grateful to have him and hope he stays here long-term. If one day Real Madrid want to recall him, they have the right to do so, but we’re very happy for him to grow here."

How it goes against Milan in Perth, Australia

"I think this is still the case: Serie A is waiting for approval from FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation. We support the league and think it will be good for the entire league."

There are protests from fans, including Como fans, do you think this situation can be handled better

"This is the decision of the league, and when it is announced, it cannot be changed. We were selected to participate and agreed, but there will always be people who agree with and people who oppose this decision. We must consider the collective interests, not just the interests of the club."

About the plan for the new stadium

"We are still in discussions and we need to comply with the recommendations of the regulators and revisit the financial plan. But to be honest, it will take a long time. In any case, we are not expecting to get the maximum benefit from the stadium. At the moment our focus is on brand growth: retail and merchandising Sales. Como is a small city with only 85,000 inhabitants and the stadium will accommodate 15,000 to 17,000 people, so we have to look overseas. Currently about 40% of retail sales come from abroad. We hope to further increase this proportion in three years. Where do you want the club to be?

"From a sporting perspective, it's difficult to predict, football changes quickly. But from a financial perspective, we want Como to be a brand that can independently generate revenue, regardless of performance on the field."

Imagine them It must have been great after the win over Juventus, did they say anything special?

"Some people were surprised, but the main message was: 'Don't be too happy when you win, and don't be too sad when you lose. Treat every day as a normal day and measure progress, not results. ’ They always ask me: ‘Did Cesc Fabregas follow the plan? ’ If so, that’s fine, even if there are no three points, you can do everything right and lose the game because of an accident or a referee’s mistake, the important thing is to grow as a person. How do people change after living in Italy and working in Italian football

"I learned a lot, not just about Italian football, but about football itself. I found that I had a lot more gray hairs (laughs), but seriously, I learned to control my emotions and stay calm. "Football is a business, but there is a lot of pressure. It is difficult to stay awake under this pressure, but it makes me grow."

"As for what we leave behind in Italy, you have a great respect for tradition here and we try to preserve it." We don’t want to change, but want to make progress based on respecting the past. Balancing heritage, tradition and growth is the biggest lesson I have learned. I believe Italy should pay more attention to its authenticity and bring it to the world to return Italian football to the level of the 1990s.”
