The Rumour Commode XLIX - DAI DAI DAI

[AC Kid]

Fuck him. If we had any shred of dignity he’d be the first to go

Let the new coach decide

 

[rossonero1]

 

[rossonero1]

If Ibra wants Rangnick involved he should bring Gazidis back as CEO.

 

[vB9]

no, ty

 

[Ash]

Lol, why would he go to a lower table team ? He might aswell stayed at Bournemouth which is a better club and plays EL

Wtf would he come to a broke as fuck club in a dead league on lower wages?

• Aggressive Hybrid Pressing: Iraola's teams don't just sit back; they initiate the press high up the pitch. They typically start with a zonal press, forcing the opposition to one side, and then snap into an aggressive, man-to-man press once a specific trigger (like a bad touch or heavy pass) is met.
• Vertical and Direct Attack: Possession is not the primary goal; instead, the focus is on penetrating the opposition's defensive structure as quickly as possible. His teams utilize line-breaking passes into the forwards' feet or direct long balls into the channels, flooding the targeted area with bodies to win the second ball.
• "Double Width" on the Flanks: In possession, his teams often shape up in a flexible 4-2-4 or 4-1-4-1 formation. Wingers frequently cut inside into the half-spaces, creating wide overloads while fullbacks push up to hit the byline, deliver crosses, or play dangerous cutbacks.
• High-Tempo Transitions: Iraola thrives on transitional moments. Quick ball recoveries high up the pitch (counter-pressing) are immediately turned into fast, direct attacks before the opposition's defense can reorganize.
• Positional Fluidity: He encourages his players—including midfielders and even center-backs—to push up high into the opposition's half to win the ball back. This requires immense tactical discipline to maintain order within the chaos of his high-risk, high-reward system.

If we end up hiring Iraola, and read his tactical summary it would seem that 90% of this team would need to go. He's known to be a very attacking coach, stark contrast from Allegri.

I cant wait to witness 89 minutes of attacking against Lecce, then conceding one from a counterattack at 95. Min

 

[vB9]

shame... he can still spray passes, didnt get to showcase this as much under Max but with sum1 like Andoni, Modric wud be fun to watch

Ayre is a great name

 

[Balo45]

Ian Ayre would be a great option. He spearheaded Liverpools come back. His transfer committee was hand assembled and they brought in Salah, Coutinho, Mane, Firmino etc.
Would probably explain the links to Salah recently. Albeit any transfer rumors would be premature as they'd depend a lot on who we hire as coach.

Liverpool fans I know put a lot of credit into Michael Edwards(less now after he came back I guess). I remember too with them way back they had a board or committee that was a point of contention for them, considered a little slow moving and not always fully supportive of the coach until Klopp took over. Not familiar with Ayre, where did he fit into liverpools revival?

Let the new coach decide

No need to wait, Ibra will decide Sd, coach and players.
If coach requests some signings, Ibra will attack him in a restaurant

Leao breaks silence on difficult Milan season: 'It tested me physically and mentally' - Football Italia

Rafael Leao has broken his silence on Milan's troubled campaign, posting a heartfelt message on Instagram in which he acknowledged the personal toll the

lol

 

[Australiano1980]

Andoni Iraola’s style of play is defined by intense, aggressive, high-block pressing and rapid, vertical attacking transitions.

Its official then, full squad needs to go.

 

[Ash]

So when he decides to fire people for failing he just go to fire the wrong people & basically fail again?
I know a millionaire isnt perfect, he for sure made wrong decisions trying to replace Maldini.
But i refuse to think that a millionaire is full stupid.

Its not stupidity

Its the fact that the dude is absolutely clueless about this sport.

He doesnt have any influence over the other clubs Redbird has invested in. The only one he does have influence over he has shown time and time again how fucking shit he is at running the club.

Clearlake are also pretty successful, how are they going with Chelsea?

Just because you are a millionaire doesnt mean you are successful or can make the right decision in whatever you get into.

Tell me one good thing Ibra has done in the last two years to warrant him being elevated.

Even fuckin Kirovski who he hired for the futoro only for it to completely crash and burn is getting more power now apparently.

This club is nothing more than a circus.

 

[Australiano1980]

Their boss understands hotdog 'sports' only.. where there is no real competitivity. We got lucky if they build us an stadium.

 

[asoundwave]

Let the new coach decide

F that!!, he doesn't need to go home but he needs to GTFO of Milan!!!!

You are not wrong. But also, it's funny to hear it out loud. "We have to turn over most of the squad"...but, because of what? Pressing? To press takes discipline and read of situations, team work, and most of all....hard intense effort. "Anyone" can do it. This isn't like we need speed and 1v1 ability, so you either have it or you don't. We are talking about physical preparedness and willingness to work. It's sad that we have players in this squad that simply WILL NOT do so. And somehow, they survive summer after sunmer...and on top of that, we have to change the entire formation/approach to accommodate them...

Then we "complain" and are disappointed that Milan isn't even an afterthought in modern football times. Of course not. Our players look like they are carrying cement in their boots.

 

[Edu-bY-A]

In my view, Rangnick would be years too late. Especially if the aim is to work together harmoniously, in a structured and organised manner within the management team, then Rangnick would be a completely wrong choice.

Rangnick is a one-man show. You’d have to bring him in as Chief Football Officer and appoint a very subservient sporting director under him. The CEO would need incredible people and social skills for that to work.

Furthermore, I don’t believe Rangnick will leave Austria now, ahead of the World Cup. That’s why he turned down Bayern a year ago. But we can’t afford to wait for him to return from the World Cup.

Everything about this rumour screams that it’s complete nonsense; ‘Ah, they’re off to Vienna… who’s available in Austria? Ah, Rangnick.’

 

[asoundwave]

Ok, but by then we would be up 5 to 1.

 

[Ryo]

I mean find me the person who's been fired by his boss saying nice things about him.

"He fired me from my dream job but he's a very competent guy and truth to be told I would have done the same thing."

I mean c'mon.

And if it can be proven that he also stabbed Paolo in the back?

 

[Ryo]

shame... he can still spray passes, didnt get to showcase this as much under Max but with sum1 like Andoni, Modric wud be fun to watch

He came for Tare and Max.
Neither are here anymore.
He wouldn't want to be part of a project that's starting from zero.

Thing is we just dont know who did what.
We only know what we read here & there.
Just few days ago it was Ibra & Furlani sabotaged Tare & Max.
Now its Tare, Furlani.
We actually dont know.
All i know is that if Cardinal is shopping heads then the least we expect is that he does it to whoever was in charge.
Am not saying he will hit gold next.
Just saying he at least fired whoever deserve to be fired.

 

[rossonero1]

Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic met Ralf Rangnick in Vienna.

Rangnick is a strong candidate for the role of sporting director or technical director of the new Milan.

Andoni Iraola remains the favorite as coach. The risk is that he chooses to stay in the Premier League.

Kirovski verso il rinnovo: il fedelissimo di Ibra potrebbe allargare il suo raggio d'azione nel Milan

Jovan Kirovski potrebbe rinnovare il proprio contratto con il Milan in scadenza il prossimo giugno.

[doraemon]

Iraola is also broadly a Pioli type from what I have seen about him so far. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Does it mean we are about to getting raped by merda again

 

[Fusiproe12]

Thiago Motta or Pioli for me

 

[nefremo]

Rangnick?

Maybe they are meeting with klopp instead? He should be in salzburg though

 

[Milaniscool]

 

[pippofan]

We can bring Francesco Farioli.

Unfortunately, he wants to stay at Porto but would love him at Milan. Because of our toxic situation and Ibra now in charge there are bound to be clashes with whoever the coach might be, and some might not consider the job because of it.

Cardinale, in his utmost ignorance chose to keep the worst, most divisive, most hated, and incompetent person to run the club. I still can't get over how fucked up that is and I'm not optimistic about our future.
