The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

[Riffstein]

@Hitchens The thread title has been very spot on so far, I think thread title for the upcoming period should be “Nihil Verum, Omnia Licita”

 

[killerkid]

Say No Ibra. Ko ih jebe klosare.

They are trying to calm down the situation,there were calls and questions from the players

 

[Wild]

Should we be putting our faith in a manager who needs to be put into that position in order to play the right players?

 

[AndreiX]

I don't know why everybody is losing their minds

Bonera is still at the club

 

[BillyTheKid]

I still can't get over Maldini's sacking.
I usually don't get emotional but I feel really sad these days.
It is sad that the club that you have loved so much over decades is now in the hands of someone whose intentions are suspicious.
It is sad to follow a faceless club.
I always laughed at Inter because they never had a real hero. Their face is a mediocre defender. But now I feel like we have lost our history over night.
I don't trust the club owners.
I don't feel like to support it as long as these fuckers own it.
I am depressed.

 

[IL Diavolo 3]

I can't wait to see the synergy between Pioli and Moncada.

Were you old enough to remember the 2012 exodus?

 

[AndreiX]

Brilliant ball from Amrabat

 

[SuperPippo]

Am I the only one who always liked Jack and thinks he could have stayed as a good squad player for us?

 

[Milan10]

Okay, ow. Unnecessary.


The thing that I don't like is that... You're talking to me as if I was a Pioli hater from the start. I was a huge believer in Pioli before. I praised him to high heavens for what he did here, to the point of ridicule here.

Fine, let's say that all the players are bad. CDK is bad. Vranckx is bad. Adli. All of them (except Thiaw) are bad. Great. Let's assume that, now, two questions:

(1) does one bad transfer market justifies Pioli having this bad a season? And (2) Does it justify him being out-performed by Lazio, who had far less resources than he did?

There are countless metrics that Pioli has failed at, from before, in particular his athletic training staff, where Milan was consistently the most injured side, which harms his ability to even use players, but again, my view is: if you had to fire one of them, then I think Pioli should have been the guy, because I don't think he was dealt enough of a transfer blow to justify his Serie A performances.

But let's go back to this: if Thiaw was the only good player, why did it take until 2023 to play him? If Pioli was so burdened by bad players, why did it take an injury crisis for him to finally play Thiaw? CDK didn't seem to need an integration period, he was played from the start.

I'm not "clamoring" over players, I'm not a CDK defender, lol. But CDK was a Moncada pick, and Moncada is the one who is now in charge. Adli, probably a Moncada pick. So... I just don't get how you can excuse so many systematic failures of Pioli's reign and boil down Maldini's evaluation one transfer market, when Pioli gets an entire season to succeed or fail. And he finished being Lazio.

Every SD who has ever lived has had a stinker for a transfer market. And maybe Pioli just had a bad year this year? Okay, fine. But if you're going to say "give Pioli the benefit of the doubt" then... why doesn't that extend to Maldini? All the superlatives you use on Pioli could equally be used for Maldini, as would the "benefit of the doubt earned" quotient that you give Pioli.

The metric we are judging is not whether we sustained a title charge, because we didn't. As you pointed out, we did stay close to Napoli, and then faded. Why? Injuries played a big part, right? Again, Pioli finished behind Lazio. A team with less resources, less quality, and worse players. How is that the fault of Maldini that Pioli doesn't know how to beat relegation teams?

This wasn’t a performance based decision or yes they would have fired Pioli as well.

If he was left footed he'd still be our best rw.

 

[taura]

Yes

 

[papaberlu]

Does anyone actually know what the hell happens to Juve with Fiorentina winning or losing?

I want to see Juve in Conference League next season and I need to know which outcome to root for

 

[G.Costanza]

Jack always a magic player

 

[Qaas]

When are we going to the Messi theme park? Directly at the opening or later to avoid mass crowds?

the one in china?
They said it would open for how many years now?

But yeah expect us on opening day. We need to be the first two!

 

[Fusiproe12]

How much did we earn for selling Bonaventura?

 

[Samaldinho]

This wasn’t a performance based decision or yes they would have fired Pioli as well.

So promoting Pioli is then... foolish, no?

 

[AC_Wesley]

the one in china?
They said it would open for how many years now?

But yeah expect us on opening day. We need to be the first two!

Last thing I know is that covid delayed the development

 

[papaberlu]

Barca put this in an official statement regarding Messi joining Miami

What an absolutely disgusting club

 

[Congo Powers]

Am I the only one who always liked Jack and thinks he could have stayed as a good squad player for us?

Here? Yes

Stay strong bro . #TheProcess will amaze everyone

 

[Wild]

Hazard for 200m should have seen Perez shown the door.

Clearly.

Perez answer to no one.
Maldini was a paid employee.

I think I am right

 

[milanazkals]
