You sure?
Its an all time jersey sales bro.

Did we fucked in the wrong era (commercially)?
A lot of the more "public information" on jersey sales is just... made up. One of the most cited sources is this made-up data from this small marketing firm called "Euroamerica" where they say that Bayern sells like 3.5 million kits a year. They also said Boca and River sold 2 million kits a year--which would be insane. Their "statistics" have been debunked many times, but it doesn't stop places like Marca and B/R Sports, it's sloppy.

Most clubs don't disclose how many kits they sell, a Bayern board member once gave an interview saying that they sold 1.3 million the year they won the Champions League in 2014. The idea that they have tripled their sales for the 2021 study that is often cited is hard to believe. Euroamerica has been cited for a long time, you can find articles from them going back ten years, and they have no sourcing on where they get their figures.

Merchandise sales is another metric that is used, but not all teams disclose that information, and furthermore, there are often disputes over those sales and distribution--meaning there can be a large difference between "shirt sales" the club gets versus what the supplier (Nike, adidas, etc) gets.

In short, most of these numbers thrown around are bullshit.

Also, I also find the idea that City and PSG in the top 10 of all-time to be... hard to believe. All-time? All-of-history? Even with like, "oh fake shirts" or whatever, I just don't even know where you would find reliable data to figure that out, to begin with.

The idea that more people have bought City shirts in history than Brazil kits is absurd to me.

Tare & Allegri is for sure a step forward than anything we had for years.
Its not even a debate.
The argument is how far forward are they gonna take us.

did you know that Allegri in his last spell at Juventus ('21-24) had a win percentage of 53.7%

out of 149 games he won 80, drew 34, lost 35.

in all 149 games he played terror ball (100%)

So guys I have a huge dilemma and need help.

So my wife for Father’s Day got be a Milan coffee table book and a milan jersey, so initially of course I was happy.

But then, I open the book and first page is a message from Gerry….

Then I look at the kit she bought, and it was like the Goalkeeper alternate kit or something because she liked how it looked the most (not bad tbf)

So generally speaking I was happy but then I’m like our funds just supported 8th place and the first thing I saw was Gerry’s face…..if she knew any better it’s like she did it on purpose to be funny
Kiss that woman and don't let her go bro

Modric at 39/40 maybe will join
Fodder Xhaka
Only literal trash players linked
Camarda and Liberali to be loaned to Serie B clubs
Leao and Theo useless trash still remaining

8th place and these clowns have made 0 moves in the market
Fuck Shitbird, their HQ should be sacked, vandalized and trashed for this

It will be another trash season to forget

Can someone please explain to me what the fuck is so special about Tare

Like seriously, the way folks speak of him one would think Lazio were regular contenders for the Scudetto and made CL every season.

Fucking hell, just because he had a couple of wins like SMS and Immobile (probs the only truly great talents) and made some shitheads like Felipe Anderson work, all of a sudden makes this guy some kind of genius?

If this guy was so good, why was he out of a job for three years?

Even the times they did compete for the Scudetto or made the CL, it was mostly down to having a good coach (Inzaghi and Sarri). The rest of the the time they were still a mediocre upper midtable team.

I can't find it exceptional either.

I think we also missed a great opportunity by not taking Gasperini. And those who say he will take time to play his game we do not play Europe so it is a false excuse.
People underestimate that bad choices can delay over several years.

I prefer to have a coach in line with modern football and who likes to have young people play and progress.
Here we all have the opposite.
I even wonder if it was not Gasperini and Amico who ignored the club understanding that the project is not ambitious and coherent.

I think Tare came by default and Allegri is there because all the big clubs know that he is burnt except Milan.

Certain things reminds me of Berlusconi.

He and Galliani for example, would never allowed ACMilan of staying out of this Club World Cup. For sure Galliani would press FIFA like, all the CL champions have to be in it, coz its the first edition and bla bla bla... and puff... another trophy in the room.

You are overestimating them . They did not have such power . But depending of the year , most probably we would be there due to CL performance .

I love listening to this guy, he did a review on Javi Guerra, who is currently playing against England in the U-21 Championship.

If you don't mind telling us basically what it is criticized for for those who are not English -speaking.

“Leao loves being mediocre”

Do you guys even think about the bullshit you spew?
When players want to leave we are a sellers club. When players want to stay and are happy then they are mediocre and unambitios.

Make it make sense :lol:

Yeah, went from almost a done deal to zero interest. Likely to go to Inter now and we might live to regret it like we've done too many times before.
Yeah, then we end up with type of fodders those cost us lot of millions and making us tough to sell them, Moncada-Furlani-Scaroni-Ibra still keep their post safe in addition to futur hated by the fans in the names of Tare & Allegri.

Did you know that he had a much better record his entire career?!
Among all the candidates that we were linked with, including Conte, he is the only coach who managed a team wining the league and reaching the CL final.
And as a personal remark i think he was unhappy at Juve during that last season.

Inter are gona be so bad this season. What a disaster hire Chivi will be for them.
I think, we better look after our asses, beacause having Xhaka as a 6, Modric at 40 yo in addition to an overrated Spanish player won't be enough to make a quantum leap, either Tare and Allegri share the same shit mentality as Moncacrap-Furlahsit-Ibragarbage, this why they're were hired, yes man, fuck all of you, hope the same disaster will happen by not reaching the 4th spot, may be after 4 seasons without CL, the fans opt for boycott.

Love your optimism considering we've signed 0 players so far and even the players we are linked with don't feel like an upgrade to "top 4 next season". :proud:

Im not worried about top 4. Like what's the point being in ucl to get humiliated by the likes of feyenoord.

A FB as good as Theo was a year ago would cost 40-50M.

When you sell.a.player you dont get or need a direct replacement in terms of talent. Just somebody who knows the basics of sid role.

You think we will spend that money?
Rhetorical question. :)

It's not about spending money. Just ask united fans.

You can build a team of players without spending big all the time.

Based on current rumours

In: out:

Leoni musah
Modric jovic
Xhaka abraham
Guerra (?) Thiaw
New LB theo
New RB terracciano
Saelemaekers emerson
New striker (vlahovic?) Chukwueze


Might not manifest exactly this way, but realistically I see an upgrade. Not a HUGE upgrade but an overall improvement still.
With a proper coach Allegri, the team cohesion is more important, we need to become a well oiled machine like inter
Like what really? Inter? Nah! I'm not setting the bar with inter. Milan aint getting clapped 5nil in UCL. Yes,we shit the bed for years now especially when we let dumb Merda do us a double in the UCL,we can make Real madrid, Barcelona (without the cuddling touch of UEFA),ManCity et al. Please don't draw the same line between us and these serie rats club....We are continental and globally classy. Stop it! Forza Milan

Absolutely no technical project.

After the fiasco of last year idiots to cover for no CL and no Club world cup sold the easiest player to sell, Tiji. And the only player THAT SHOULDN'T BE SOLD.

Now there's a new coach and SD that need to get the CL and they need older players. And guys like Liberali, Zeroli and Camarda will not play. There is NO PROJECT.

Modric, Xhaka, Fofana, RLC and that Valencia guy will be a good mid for Allegris horrorball. Efficient. + Modric will still help a lot. We play 1 game a week.

Well need a lb, cb, rb. And new Cf. They want IMMOBILE. For the 3rd cf. And one more cf.

That's 8/9 new players. New team. Year zero AGAIN.

We WONT win anything but we may compete for top 4 seriously. Telling you now so you don't get upset.

That's the only Red Bird "project" there is - getting CL while the stadium issue is being awaited.

Leaches. Milan is euthanized by Yankees. Cardinale can't even get out as he owes 500mln. Hard times still ahead boyz.
