Quote:...That would all happen, yes, if EFES's people manage to come on the top of the Partizan. But, at this time, after god knows how many years, we have excellent sport part of the Serbia. I mean, Predrag Danilovic, along with Vujosevic would never allow such a thing to happen. Also, on every EL game there was and even on some of the domestic league there is Duda Ivkovic sitting on the bench. Do u think that he would let his most richer pool of talents to be destroyed, and so the future of NT to be destroyed, just for money and one generation title? No, i don't think so... Oh, i didn't even start to mention big names... What about Vlade Divac who is president of OLYMPIC committee? Who is number one man in sport in Serbia. As u can see, there is a lot of people to be "convinced" so that Partizan becomes "rich club just buying championships."
You didn't understand what I said. I said if Efes invests the money in Partizan they won't be the popular underdog in Europe anymore. They will be the hated "big rich club buying championships" just like CSKA and PAO are hated. I'm not talking about the club's management style. I'm talking about how fans across Europe would view them.
The argument was being made that Partizan is loved by fans across Europe and CSKA is hated. My point is that as soon as Partizan became a club with a huge budget they won't be popular anymore by fans in Europe and will be hated. Whether or not they are actually a rich club buying championships or not is besides the point. Fans across Europe will call them that whether it is true or not.
