JR: "What is your message to new Napoli boss Roberto Baggio and your former colleague Aureilio de laurentiis?"
RB: Well, first of all I'd like to wish Mr. Baggio the best of luck for the future! However my message to Aureilio is I'm coming back, I'm going to bring Palermo back to the serie A and knock YOU and every other 'big' team off their high horse! So watch out...
JR: Okay, well may we ask how good your transfer budget is?
RB: Bad. I'm sorry but I can't lie! It is bad, the chairman has given me a challenge, I have to use OUR youth to bring success...we cannot buy our players however it gives us a chance to become the Bilbao of Italy!
