We have no other choice than to get on board with Redbird but I think by now it’s clear their intentions and people expecting a sizeable budget are deluded. Ask Maldini

He wanted Berardi and Arnautovic though and they suck
Did he though? I mean how can we say that for certain? What we can almost certainly do is read between the lines and follow money and money isn’t there

Every report against Maldini is propaganda, but every report that puts RedBird in a negative light is truth.

Cmon guys... You gotta be able to see the lunacy in this, right?

The owners and maldini didnt see eye to eye on how the club was going to operate. It's as simple as that.
Someone wanted more power than the owner wanted to give.

You don't need 3 weeks of Walt Disney fables when the truth is sitting clearly in front of you.

the silver linining is at least now the ownership won't be satisfied with the primavera fighting relegations every season, placing more emphasis on growing players in-house which we've severly lacked during the past couple of years .

funny enough during the late b&g era it was way better judging by the amout of former primavera players playing for top flight serie a teams.

I’m happy with where we’ve come from but let’s not pretend what this is and deluded ourselves Maldini was somehow bad at his job, he was good at it, yes a couple of transfers went wrong but that’s what happens with not a lot of money. Are we gonna get rid of Maldini then Mocada and Pioli somehow turn into market Messias? Please

Firing him keeps looking a better decision the more we find out about what was going on behind the scenes.

I also heard Paolo raw-dogged your mum and your dad licked his cock clean afters, all while you watched... is this true?

No judgement, but that's some weird shit... Fuck and Maldini is an animal!!!

What’s wrong with Maldini wanting more money tho? A great chance to reach teams like Bayern, he was denied therefore his job here was done. Nothing more he can do, can’t go up the way only sideways

He also wanted to erect a statue of his magnificent cock #nohomo on the centre circle of the new stadium.... And the stadium was to be called Paolo's Palace of Calcio Awesomeness x

The family you want is a myth & only exist in your simple minded head.
Players are professionals bind to a contract to the club & they should be treated accordingly with Milan best interest in mind.
Sheva & Kaka wanted out so for sure Milan to them wasnt family.
I am not saying sell all of our good players , am saying treat players as professionals with as less feelings involved as possible.
You think us teams while i think Real Madrid.
You think Real Madrid while I think AC Milan.

Well now we will get young players and they'll learn from Theo and Maignan and eventually Leao and Tonali and the rest, same as how they learned from Kjaer and Ibra. Real never had a period where their entire squad was shit and they had to rebuild completely. From 2019 only Calabria remains. We rebuilt the entire fucking squad. You can't expect the same sort of starting point as Real. But in a few years the senior players in our squad will be the Kroos/Modric/Ronaldo types in your example. In the end it's the same model.
isn't this, exactly, why we didn't jump up in terms of winning as a squad 2/3 years ago? the whole veterans taking some of the pressure off leao/theo/sandro?

not to discredit what you wrote since quick turnaround will probably be redbird's method, but they don't need to look very far in the history books to learn from past mistakes.

Too much football manager and FIFA, player sales is a complex process that requires development over seasons.

Agent comission, player intention, morale, wages, bonuses, structure of agreement etc. are all factors which can affect it.

Do you work on the Everton board? Alexis has not demonstrated nor given any indication for a premier league team to take a risk on him. They have plenty of squad players who he is no different to. Just because they have money does not mean they will spend it.

CDK may not want to leave, he has a contract and at 22 he might be happy sitting on the bench and training for a season till a better offer from a bigger club comes. Who would want to take a risk on a player that has struggled so badly in his first season. There would also be all sorts of agent commissions linked with his long contract. Sellable for sure and I'm sure he will come good but right now he would be hard to get rid of for the right price.

At best we would be able to shift players like Rebic and Origi but again who would pay anything meaningful after the season they have just had.

Your last comment brings back my point, we are looking for young cheap talent which requires time to develop. We will then sell and cash in and keep the cycle going. Never winning or challenging but doing enough to keep the accounting books in good shape. 35 mil is not enough to build or reinforce a title challenging team. Not in this day an age.
I have literally never played football manager or FIFA in my life. What I said is based solely on rumors and news about the transfer market which I have been closely following for over 10 years.
Young Belgian players will always have market.

70 mil. Would you do it or only on the condition mike is unhappy and wants to leave?
Only on the condition that he wants to leave and rather than losing him for free better sell him.
To me Mike, Theo, Leao and Tonali are untouchable.
