After the depressing conclusion, I thought I'd go back and read a few posts from the first half of the season.. and found these receipts.. I saw others who have flipped opinions on him but I chose not to quote them..
Some of us know football while others
understand football.. I've been claiming this would happen for a while..
what an underwhelming and disappointing decision to get Allegri. he's a horrid coach that plays the ugliest football and he doesn't even guarantee results.
i expect to see a significant drop of season ticket holders, and a lot less viewers for Milan games in general..
there are times when we hire a player or coach and you are certain that they would be a disappointment, but still reserve a little bit of hope as they just might impress you.... in this case however, there is zero hope of Allegri doing anything to make us entertaining or winning again
what a depressing signing. i hate that we did not go for sarri. why not mancini over allegri? second spells have never been positive at Milan..

bringing back Allegri is a disaster, I am still struggling to digest this. We are in for some depressing times ahead. There is a reason why no big club wanted Allegri after he left Juventus the first and second times. Furlani said Allegri is the best we can do because he's won x number of trophies. This stat reference is a horrifying thing for me because it means they are not using the stats correctly, and thinking that just because he's had trophies in the past, he will get them again with us despite the circumstances being totally different.

i find Allegri very hypocritical in how he says his players need to keep composure in such a big game when he clearly can't do it himself, despite being a coach and infinitely more experienced. in post match conference he says leao did well or worked hard but immediately after leao fucks up, cameras on allegri showing max indicating that leao is stupid or not thinking or whatever, but definitely demeaning gestures...

this is the result of the mentality our coach is instilling in the squad. we are playing not to lose, not to win. winning is a bonus, but objective number one is not to lose (or concede goals).
when u play 541 against a relegation battling team while winning 2-1 you are projecting your cowardice into your players. when you shout at them to stay back when they try to score goals, you destroy their attacking mentality.
that second half was a very very disappointing performance again, 5th or 6th game in a row like this.

i knew this kind of football was coming the moment we signed Allegri... even if we do end up top 4 this season, it would be despite Allegri, not because of him. everyone pointing the blame at individual players but no one is looking at the obvious... playing not to lose against cremonese, pisa and parma takes a very unique kind of cowardice.. i don't think football has ever seen someone this shameless.

it doesn't matter who we sign if we continue playing the way we do and with this approach... even Messi would suffocate under this system... it's not a coincidence that Allegri got sacked from Juventus one season after they signed Ronaldo.. this is what we get for signing Allegri. Allegri was never a compatible coach for Tare. I was surprised that he went and signed him within 3 days of joining Milan.

I even went back a bit further to the last spell more than a decade ago and found these:
People need to understand that the coach does not only pick the starting eleven and keeps quiet, he instructs the entire team on how to press, when to press, and almost every little detail. Allegri did not get the starting lineup wrong because he didn't have any other choices, his mistakes were the tactics he instilled because it was obvious he wasn't considering the game was 0-0 and instead treated it like we were 4-0 up from how we played. We put no pressure on their defenders, we didn't test them out, our so called world-class attack failed to put a goal against one of the worst defences in Europe. The coach has alot to be blamed for, as long as most of our players for losing it.

Last season he won the scudetto because the rest of the teams were so awful, not because we were unstoppable. I believe we won the Serie A with the lowest points total at the end of the season than any other Serie A winner in the last 10 years. Milan this season have 19 wins 7 draws and 5 defeats, and one of the poorest records we can ever have versus big teams. We dropped points already in twelve games this season.....this is by no means impressive, this used to mean 4th-7th place when Serie A used to be good. Allegri is not bad, but I don't think he is going to be the next Ancelotti/Capello for us, and we need to be more ambitious.
