Napoli President Calls Manchester City a “Toy” for Billionaire Owner

After defeating Manchester City on Tuesday, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis taunted the English club and referred to the Blues as no more than a “toy” for billionaire owner Sheikh Mansou.

“If Mr Mansour would like to invest in Napoli he should invest as little as I did and maybe get the team to improve and grow and to manage the situations.

“Mansour has wanted to build a toy, but if he does not win in four or five years, maybe he leaves.

“Football is not just about the money. Mansour takes all the oil money and has built the club only for a personal whim.

“But maybe after investing so much, if something does not start winning immediately he will draw the curtains and go somewhere else and buy another toy.

“This is special. At Napoli we have lost players but this fact shows money is not everything. Healthy balance sheets are also important.

“Our stadium is decrepit but the problem is the recession. Here in Italy, we are broke. It’s not easy with the money Napoli get from television. We don’t get enough, they don’t distribute the money fairly.

“Manchester City’s contracts are different from ours. The owner puts Etihad on their shirts for £200m.

“Our success proves that perhaps money isn’t everything, as even with balanced books you can still go far.”
