From Redbird filters that no decision has been made yet on the new coach but in the next few days with Cardinale in Milano for the derby the decision will be made.
These parasites could have locked up Motta months ago and are now scrambling

it makes me SICK

The money is dripping, everything is fine. One grain at a time, one drop at a time


Calcio e Finanza reports that Milan has earned 55 million euros through participation in European cups this season. Compared to the 88 million euros earned last season, the club lost about 33 million. These amounts do not include additional bonuses from UEFA and income from ticket sales at the San Siro Stadium.

Blaming the management? Yes, for taking so long to cut Bioli. The only players I don't like from summer mercato are RLC and Musah

He says a lot of stuff but this is not too bad.

The contrast of narratives between the summer and now is *Muaaaah!*

We come from “now he is getting the players he wants. Watch him cook” …With Steven himself hinting at that.

If it's a foreign coach, I would actually like Marco Rose.

Now 0-3, and we let them score 3 goals…
Match up matters. It's not like A beats B so A should definitely beat C just cause B beat C.

We just don't match up well stylistically vs certain teams

Should be somewhere in between, realistically.

Probably . We have the team to get out of the CL group stage and maybe go one or two rounds more . We were lucky previous year with the path .

They are nowhere close to break even.

They lost 85m last season and that’s after accounting for 29m in profit from player sales (less than I expected honestly).

So even in an exceptional year like last season for them they have 100m to make up in order to break even.

They also don’t have much more room to further lower their squad costs.

In my opinion, he's wrong and his take is pretty idiotic.

It's precisely the players who have already won the Scudetto with us who are not leading the way and not showing the mentality!

Where are Theo, Calabria, Leao, Giroud when things get tight or, above all, Bennacer in the centre of the team? I've been telling you for two years that Bennacer is a token footballer, yet he got a fat salary and a long contract for it - thanks Maldini.

In contrast, it's the new signings who regularly shine: Okafor against Udine, Hellas, Lazio or Sassuolo. Loftus-Cheek in the Europa League. Pulisic against Genoa or Sassuolo and on numerous other occasions. Reijnders against Monza and in the first half of the season. Chukwueze in the Champions League and against Roma or Florence.
It’s very ironic to me some of the very same people who rate Bennacer are the ones that says shit like “scudetto or bust” or shit on ownership for not showing ambition.

I hope you're satisfied with the new coach, whomever they pick.

From how they roll, I don’t have much faith in the current management in this aspect.
From keeping Pioli and maintaining him till now, is a “good” indication of their competence
Maybe with Ibra (noob but football person) better decision will be made.

But yea, forget new manager, getting Steven out is way past due…whoever comes will be given his time to show what he is about.

I hope Pioli didn't get the last chance to save himself by winning the derby? To hell with it, I already agree even on Lopetegui just to get rid of this greyness
Don't worry. We ain't winning vs inter as long as pioli is coach and we still have calabria and giroud starting. Honourable mention to Algerian midget as well

Think we should be innovative. Let's hire a woman. Female manager to run our team.

Player of the season gets to smash too as a bonus.

They also don’t have much more room to further lower their squad costs.
The club World Cup will almost certainly cover the drop in CL revenue from this season after their earlier elimination, so they’re likely to maintain the same level of revenue but they still need to drastically lower their squad costs again, just to make a dent in the annual loss.

They’ll find a way to get out of any FFP issues by selling inflated youngsters again, but that’s not real revenue, it’s just inflating the value of a transaction both ways in a swap deal. They need a real drop in costs and that can only happen with a big sale of a key player. Selling Lautaro for 100m would be a huge boost for them for this season but they’ll still need another big sale the next year, they can’t survive without sales. Their revenues have peaked and all they can do every year is sell a big price to cover the deficit.

At some point this will reflect in their sporting performance. But I’ve said this before a few times and Marotta always wins, so what do I know.

Tony Ferguson beat Rafael dos Anjos

Rafael dos Anjos beat Donald Cerrone

Donald Cerrone beat Mike Perry

Mike Perry beat Jake Ellenberger

Jake Ellenberger beat Jake Shields

Jake Shields beat Dan Henderson

Dan Henderson beat Shogun Rua

Shogun Rua beat Alistair Overeem

Alistair Overeem beat Junior dos Santos

Junior dos Santos beat Fabricio Werdum



So Tony Ferguson > Fabricio Werdum

Pioli was asked and answered:

Will your potential successor do a better job?

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves with certain judgments and certain comments, they are not my concern at this moment. In the end, we will draw conclusions. Then I will tell you what I think of the season, why and how certain things happened, both positive and negative. If you agree, fine, otherwise I’ll get over it.”

Can they not flip Thuram for like 50-60 m and Mkhitaryan for like 20m, both were signed free I believe and their replacement is already signed from free agent zelinski and taremi.

Putting aside the jokes and the anger , Pioli is actually a safe bet . He can keep the squad in top four , ensuring CL participation and occasionally if there is not a team with an exceptional performance , maybe can fight for the title . In UEFA tournaments can exit from the group stage to the next round . Now , if the management is satisfied with that ( since they are the ones who are taking such a decisions , not us ) , it is better to stay . If we like to go to the " next level " , fighting for Scudetto until the end every year and fighting to go to the CL or even UL finals every year also , we need someone else . In my opinion it has to be a proven one .
