Ben Jacobs: Understand Chelsea and Napoli have made some progress on a proposed structure in the last few days. Chelsea won't proceed unless terms become more favourable. Chelsea are prepared to make Osimhen a top earner, but he must fit into the wage structure meaning lower base in no UCL season : chelseafc

What happened to Napoli? Why are they struggling so much?
Main Post:
One of the shocks, for me anyway, of the season so far is what is going on with Napoli. Not many months ago, the team was cruising in Serie A, Kvaratskhelia was named the next Maradona or something and now the team is in danger of missing a European spot for next season. So, I ask the people who watch Serie A, what has gone wrong with Napoli?

Simple, they lost their coach, and his replacement from day one everyone knew was gonna be terrible, Kim Min-jae left,and the one promising player they were gonna sign ended up fucking off to the saudi league
What the heck happened to Napoli

They became Napoli again
Unpopular opinion: I hate Napoli
Main Post:
I've been living in Napoli for a few years, for school, originally from the US. I see comments talking about Naples charm. To be honest, I don't get it.
Lets say the Pizza is great - ok, and so what? Culture is more than just Pizza. Culture is obeying laws, maintaining order etc.
Napoli city has dog poop all over the place, cigarette buts in every crevice, garbage littered all over, graffiti on all walls, dirty parks, urine stains everywhere, very few trees, very few parks (And they close early), insane traffic where motor bikes are trying to kill you, loud honking, vehicle fums that burn your nose.
This is not a Western city. It is a developing country within a developed country. The city sucks because the locals have an inferior culture compared to model cities around the globe. It is the behavior of the people that leads to the negative result, turning it into a purely disgusting city.
Neapolitans should be ashamed of how gross they make their own city. They are to blame, yet they blame the mafia and local corruption. Those are only part of the picture. Somehow they have pride for this shit hole of a city and think it is pretty. It is not. They are lucky that for some reason tourists come here, and this has injected money into the economy.
Edit
* I never said that the US cities are model cities (SF etc). Yes, they have also gone to shit. The difference: Us cities are going to shit due to governmental failure. Naples is struggling due to the local mentality as well, even though the locals love blaming everything else but themselves. It is the choice of the locals to drive how they do, to not pick up after their dogs, to not walk an extra 2 meters to through their trash into the nearby garbage can. By model cities, I'm reffering to European (even Italian) cities such as Verona, Pavia etc. You don't need to look far. Clean, pleasant, safe.
What do I think of Neapolitans? Some are amazing. Kind, gentle, warm. Some are very educated (I'm a uni' student, and you can tell the professors here take their academics very seriously). The grandpa of my building, Ciro, is a real sweetheart. However, some Neaplitans are very ignorant and primitive. They'll spend hours watching soccer, but they can't spend 10 minutes a day on Duolingo to study English and be part of the globe? "No parlo inglese!". I find it interesting that the most sacred deity in Napoli is a coke head who was really good at kicking a ball, but that's it. That shows the values.
* I live in Centro storico, so everything I experience is on steroids. I know that if I lived in Vomero, things would be a little more palatable.

What are you seeking with this reddit thread?
Do you wish to connect with Neapolitans that share your opinions? If so, perhaps you should not generalize.
Vent? If so, what do you gain by venting your frustrations publically like this?
Want to make a change? If so, do you really think an inflammatory post on Reddit is the way?
Should I move to Naples?

Hey guys as someone who’s considering moving to Italy, I wanted to ask a few questions first about which Italian city is best to live in for highest quality life
About me and what I like and what matters to me, I’m the kind of person who enjoys a lot of different things but can appreciate a lot of things as well. I like simple things like going on walks, hanging by the beach, sitting outside or having picnics, I like appreciating the beauty of the world around me.
I love architecture, art, and literature. I think I could stare at a beautiful historical building or painting/art piece for awhile, just relishing it and thinking about it. Same with literature I suppose. I’ve gotten into historical literature more these days and I’d love to go see a live drama or tragedy play sometime.
I love going for a coffee and sitting for awhile. I love watching sunsets, and being outside, going to archaeological museums. Anything really. I like the slow activities and fast paced activities too. I’m open minded when it comes to people and things to do too. I’m definitely down to do something cool and new I haven’t done before. I’m also very social, I think I’m the most extroverted out of all my friends.
While I don’t like drinking or clubbing or smoking or doing drugs, I do really like social events and parties. I love live music of any kind even though I have my own personal preferences. I like local international and cultural events, and all kinds of different performances too.
As a gay person, I also have to ask which are the gay friendly places in Italy. It’s not the biggest deal to me, I already live in a conservative place right now and I’m used to it, however I don’t like it. I’m a dude, I like other dudes and that just ain’t a good thing here where I like. I’m not even planning to get In a relationship anytime soon, I’m single and enjoying the peace ✌️ however I’d like to know it’s safe enough to atleast hold my partners hand in public or give them a kiss. I’m not a pda person, so I wouldn’t be making out with them in front of lots of people or groping them or anything. I’d love to make some queer friends too but I’d want to be friends with anyone no matter what anyway 🤷♂️
I think Italian language, culture, food, and history, and architecture is super cool and I can already understand some Italian from having studied Spanish back in 10th grade.
I am more than willing to study Italian and learn it beyond the basic level and even use it in daily life, however I’d also like to know I can speak English too and meet some international people. I have an international circle of friends right now and we all use English as a common language and it’s nice and easy and I just like having a diverse group of friends.
If you need context, I’m a university student in their last year, I study in Bulgaria, I’m both an American and European citizen, and I grew up in America near manhattan but never in it, but going to it.
While I know there are other countries that are more economically stable, have better wages and blah blah blah, I think the Mediterranean life is the one for me. In terms of gay acceptance, I think Italy has got to be much better than Bulgaria and Eastern Europe too.
I already look very Italian, as many people have told me, so I think it would be very easy for me to integrate myself into Italian life and society too, because I am treated like a foreigner sometimes here In Bulgaria instead of everyone else. Perhaps that’s because I look like one though. Random people sometimes stop and ask me if I am Italian and it’s happened to me in every country I’ve traveled to as well.
I plan to get a remote job in any country I live cuz I know the wages in the Mediterranean countries aren’t the best 💀
I was considering bologna and Naples. While I think bologna is prettier, I like the amount of people in Naples more and think it could be a better lifestyle. I’m also somewhat used to big gritty cities as manhattan has always been around me growing up, but I am also used to living in small areas too. The town in America where I live has only 7,000 people and in Bulgaria it’s 70,000. I just don’t want to end up bored.
I would love to hear from you guys ♥️

bro please try to visit some cities and be realistic about living elsewhere, there's nothing wrong about moving to napoli, but "i studied a bit of spanish so i think i can understand italian" - no. Also to move in a country different from yours there are some bureaucratic processes that could take years, so before deciding everything maybe do some month-long vacations to see if the places are ok to live in and do your research to have all the documentation in place. I'm not saying this to be rude or anything, it's because there are people that abandoned everything to be here just to follow an idea of Italy that doesn't exist

It's crazy that this is only Napoli's 3rd Serie A title ever. Also 4 different champions in 4 seasons is massive from the Serie A.
