Milan Legend
That's one of the reasons why Inter have been more successful than us in the last 15 to 20 years.
Can you remember a former Inter player arriving two days before a final, throwing shit at the club and causing a disturbance? Not me. It's also typical of Longoni, this cretin, that this is happening now.
For Boban, Longoni and all these buffoons, it's only ever about one thing: themselves and getting attention for themselves. They don't care about the club.
TBF, it's not like things are any better with the current management. Ironically, the one who seems to actually care about Milan is Zlatan – and that’s probably because Milan cared for him first. Twice. Both times when his career needed a lifeline. He never hid that, even behind the whole "I’m the boss, the God, the Lion" persona. Beneath the bravado, there was always a deep sense of gratitude. Not saying he's competent in any way. But from all our top men I believe he's the only one who's really donig it because he wants to give something back.
Anyway, I’m not going to sit here and act like Furlani, Gerry or Moncada are some sort of noble guardians of the club. They’re not. They’re suits. Businessmen. And if someone like Longoni or Boban goes after them, I’m not exactly rushing to their defence.
That said – yeah, Boban and Longoni are exhausting. Boban always paints himself as the tragic hero, misunderstood and ahead of his time, blaming everyone else for not "getting it." Never his fault. Never. Sound familiar?

And Longoni? Please. He teased this interview for weeks, hyping it up like a Netflix docuseries. "Big revelations coming soon, mamma mia, you'll never guess the guest, we’re airing it all out in public!" Like clockwork, it turned out to be Boban – and of course it got messy. What else did anyone expect?
The real tragedy is that this is just Milan being Milan. Same old circus. We did it during the banter era. Legends vs. current management vs. journalists vs. fans. Then we did it with the Chinese. Now we’re doing it again with the Americans. We have this incredible, almost pathological habit of hurting ourselves, especially when things are about to matter most. Again, it's a self caused circus. This is not me defending Furlani and Co. I'm just a bit frustrated how the club always comes last for all these people.
