Standard & Poor's reports on European football: Fiorentina is the best Italian, Rome is "junk"

The merciless UEFA rankings are not enough: Italian football clubs suffer even when the most accredited rating agencies in the world make the report cards, such as Standard & Poor's which made fleas to 44 clubs chosen as a champion in the various European championships. The rating agency has notably drawn up a special ranking which measures the economic stability of the analyzed clubs on the basis of operations, solvency and liquidity. 

For the Italians the usual bloodbath: the penultimate overall is Thohir's Inter, 43rd out of 44, with all indicators below average, while the best is Fiorentina which is only 14th anyway. However, the 23rd place of the bankrupt Siena leaves us perplexed, or that the relegated Bologna does much better than the American Rome, even evaluated at a "junk" level: the judgment that in the worst times S&P has reserved, in terms of sovereign debts, to Greece. Lazio, on the other hand, deserves a rating equivalent to the "triple B" and does better than Juventus, which despite the owned stadium and the victories of recent years has established a slightly lower virtuous circle (especially as regards solvency).

Il Milan, branded with the lowest score for solvency and liquidity, is 35th, while in High floors we find, in order, Ajax, Arsenal, Celtic, Manchester United and St. Etienne, all five with a nice "triple A": three British teams, one French and one Dutch.
