Allegri is a good man manager, the Ibra sabotage makes absolute sense when looking on how some players changed. Just statistics is not really something I buy for missing CL by one point, that doesn't mean that we weren't over performing at some points.

This forum keeps blaming the coach and putting them as the main culprit year after year but they don’t seem to get that when 4 coaches come and go, all of them lost to the locker room, the problem lies deeper.

And I see a lot of hypocrisy too, the people who were defending Fonseca which mind you I understand, he was sabotaged too, are blaming Allegri for this mess because of his unattractive football. To the point where apparently building on him even if we went CL is a disaster but it’s alright to miss CL as long as the manager we get plays good football? I don’t get that. All because the manager doesn’t play the football you like watching means he’s the worse ever & what not :lol:

Frankly, if the next manager makes us play good football but gives an 10th position then I don’t give a flying fuck, he should also get the boot. Whether it’s Iraola or Gasperini. We need some guarantees cause CL is too important to miss out and we missed out because of a sabotage work.

Which is why I want Conte. I want results. If we want a project manager that can deliver, you need funds and to spend well. We don’t do that.

Our source confirmed that Ibra stabbed everyone in the back, the fact that he while being a big culprit of our failures gets to have the keys is genuinely so fucking stupid.

How does Ibra come out on top after this huge fuckup? Especially when he is one of the protagonists of said fuckup.

Someone make it make sense.

This club is fuckin dead and buried.m

Some of these coaching moves are surprising, like Allegri close to joining Napoli but now ADL has switched to Italiano. Must have been his disgraceful showing vs Cagliari. A couple of my friends that have supported Napoli their whole lives said that if Allegri is their coach will stop doing it.

The biggest change is Sarri moving to Atalanta while rejecting Napoli, even if one club is in Cl and the other is out of Europe, (maybe conference but not sure). Sarriball is the complete opposite of Gasperini's so what's been their foundation for years will be dismantled and players have to adapt to new formation and tactics.
Ours will also be revolutionary moving from Allegri to Iraola if it happens.

Many want to copy Fabregas's formula, but he coached Como way back in Serie B, even played some and must be a very intelligent person.

Some of the young Italian coaches are being less traditional, like Grosso and Pisacane in addition to the 30-year-old Spanish coach Carlos Cuenta at Parma, a disciple of Arteta. Hard to predict who will have success but Grosso is headed to Fiorentina which is a step up in reputation.

Andoni Iraola’s style of play is defined by intense, aggressive, high-block pressing and rapid, vertical attacking transitions. Heavily influenced by Marcelo Bielsa, his tactical blueprint relies on tireless work rates, hybrid man-zonal pressing triggers, and fluid positional rotations that create organized chaos.

Iraola does not demand low-tempo passing or meaningless horizontal possession. Instead, he relies on quick transitions and fast movement up the pitch.

Speed of Play: His teams consistently rank among the fastest in the league at advancing the ball forward, prioritizing rapid strikes over prolonged, intricate build-ups.
Fluid Structural Shifts: In possession, his teams often adapt to a 352
shape. The full-backs push high up the pitch into the attacking flanks, while a central midfielder frequently drops deep to form a back three, providing security against counter-attacks.
So we gonna need a whole new squad 😂

Why not now man when will it be the time for us to take a risk and try to get out of this mediocrity?
Lets say we get one of the 'proven' (like we did last summer) serie a coaches and we fight for top 4 and somehow make it. So fucking what? What would magically happen if we qualified for the CL? We'll be every clubs preferred draw, get ass fucked in the 16-round and thats it. Rinse and repeat.
You're not wrong

I'm only looking at the margins here
Allegri was hired to get us 4th.
We just barely failed that
We didn't come 10th or 14th
With Max as i said even before he came, you know what you are getting

The ceiling is lower but the floor is higher
I really am not in the mood for more embarrassment

I don't like Leao's game but IMO he's handled this better than Theo (at least so far) there's no need to throw additional shade.
Leao needs to go but I’ll remember him fondly nonetheless unlike Theo who is scum

We can bring Francesco Farioli.

Imagine reviving a team from banter era, establishing a family atmosphere with a lot of fan excitement, winning a scudetto, building a team of likeable characters, making it far into cl. Then undermining it all within 3 years by putting a glorified bank teller in charge.

Until 2012 ish managers had way more power.

How the tables have turned

Can u imagine these fuckwits refusing to play hard for a manager like alex Ferguson?

Now players start a mutiny against any manager if they don’t like the way they operate etc or if they don’t get picked or placed in the right position.

This needs to end tbh. Only pep seems to have a modicum of control over players.
Well done upper midtable teams that over achieve usually have coaches that command control. If you look at most top sides, it just feels like players have way too much power.

Furlani you cunt.
But who bought Jash?
Albanian dude
Is definitely the one buying an Albanian Swiss. No doubt lol

So yes tare.

Do you think sacking him was a bit harsh?

But he should have known that we needed immediate quality. Jhashari was not the answer

Cocklani probably thought oh wait jhashari is 20 ish. We can profit via capital gains instead of buying xhaka. Yet xhaka would have got us top 3 let alone top 4

I like how ppl are complaining about Leao's goal drought but are also happy to keep Pulisic - who hasn't scored in 2026 😍

Id not get rid of anyone until we have a new manager who can assess the team and tell us who fits the plan and who he needs from transfers.

Pulisic staying is fine given that he’s been at the club less than Leao.

Even if Pulisic has been absolutely atrocious in 2026.

Anyway we will be trash next season. I don’t see much changes.

Nkunku is next years hate figure in RnB. Some of the players people want gone such as Mike and Leao will be missed next year.

It is going to be a fascinating season 😂

Ibra is here to stay and we seem to be intent on a more attacking and aggressive style of play while currently targeting a 4231 manager.

Commode, let’s get down to the serious business of constructing a squad for next season.

Where do we even begin?!? 🤣 This squad is so shit it’s almost impossible.

That would be common sense but will we get such a luxury as common sense.

Having said that I would be happy to see RLC, Estupinan and few other garbage players shown the door before others.

Iraola is worth the hype and would be exciting if he comes, I wouldn’t have thought there was much of a chance when it was rumored Chelsea and Liverpool were circling. And Milan could still miss on him in a favorable coaching cycle.

But it’s gonna be up to not just his ideas but his personality too. Whether we agree with it or not the Milan job has big expectations at least in domestic media, just like United or any other historically linked club.

You guys can make fun of Thiago Motta all you want, he did big things getting Bologna into CL and also had good ideas, but he wasn’t ready for a high pressure cooker like juventus. Iraola is not really any different from that right now. To me it sounds like he is a high energy coach and players buy into him but we won’t know til he goes to a big club.

Pippo , Maldini , Kaka , Zizou ..

"The fracture between Allegri and Zlatan – for which the roots go back in time – had occurred in a restaurant and in the presence of Giorgio Furlani and Tare. The now former CEO and sporting director had to ‘physically separate the coach and the Swede’."


I wonder how Furlani, with his size and being the sore eye for Allegri and Ibra, tried to separate the two much bigger men. Maybe Tare should have just left Furry there and let him get squashed.

Shouldn't that be illegal? At minimum Gerry should sue the little twerp and at maximum he should rot in jail surrounded by rats.
I don’t know but I think there’s some truth to it

Way too illogical decisions made with Busardo involved

and then there was that stuff recently about how much intermediaries make off transfers in shitaly

Bless Allegri for freeing us of that tumor
