Nothing funnier than the orphans flexing “Maldini’s” UCL semi-final run, even though we got our ass beat by our biggest rivals, while at the same time mocking Inter and Marotta for losing two finals.

What's even madder is how you reminisce over 1 semi final. Placing it as the benchmark. Yet totally ignore the 2 group stage exits either side of it.

But hey, when you got a narrative to push...
Absolutely no narrative here mate, we won the league then got to semi final of CL then it seemed to decline after that. Those accomplishments were never met again or anywhere close to

But then Gerry wouldn’t have his famous football friend, having famous friends makes him look or feel more affluent and important.

He disregarded the advice of Gazidiz to keep the structure that worked for Elliot and insisted on installing his yes men. People who would follow orders and never question his decisions.

Furlani had his own ideas though and pulled the wool over Gerry’s eyes played his lawyers power play to gain more power. Yet according to a few in here Furlani wasn’t a problem.

From the moment Redbird entered the scene there was only going to be one outcome total chaos. The fact that Ibra survived the purge is further proof that there will be more chaos to follow.
On the football side, didn't everyone stay other than Gazidis who left for personal reasons.
Then we finished outside of top 4 and the falling out that led to the firing of the person that wanted sole control of footballing decisions.

RedBird definitely curtailed spending but they didn't throw out people as soon as they took over - that happened over time and yes compounded but some of the blame is also on the persons some fans want to keep absolving.

This is the first time all remnants of the Elliot era are now gone. Ibra was only a player during that time.

I know what u are saying, disappointing for it to have been to Inter but still rather the semi’s of CL than where we are now

Why would two players who want to go to WC actively try to make themselves look bad???

Tomori is just a poor player - he has shown that consistently.
Rafa had a very rough season playing a different position and being hurt but also his play style and demeanor doesn't help the situation, when healthy in the past we saw similar application.

We have had the same issues with these players for years now and people still looking for excuses and coping.

Italian journalists are fucking clowns. Dramatic fools....listen to this British dude for a clearer view on Iraola situation. (I still don't think he will arrive)


Yeah that makes more sense. Going to palace didn’t seem logical

He’s holding out for Liverpool

Can you elaborate on why you think Ralf will be such a good option for us? I’m not against him but clearly you know more about the guy
Because this club hasn’t been run like a real club for 3+ years now

If you think about it, they’ve failed to reach CL organically for all 3 years. The only reason they made it in the first year was because Juve got docked points :lol:

It’s been all doing favors for buddies and agents without any sense of the whole picture

A central figure is needed who is going to revamp and control every aspect top to bottom. Rangnick has a track record of doing that. He was gonna do that at United but they didn’t like being told their shit stinks

If Ibra and Cardinale are seriously considering giving Big Ralf the keys then I respect that because I did not think they had the humility to embrace that

Mad to think that fairly recently we were semi finalists in the CL spending not very much at all to where we now, there’s a lot to be said for if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Pure sheer luck. We did not deserve to be in semi final. Lets be honest here. If we were deserving to be in semi final with that squad, we would have seen clubs try to get our players. We barely see any good club linked with our players because our players are not worth it. We rate Leao so high but then we see that no big club wants him. We also rated theo but suadi clubs were the ones to get him. We have to do freaking discounts on the players cause they are simply not good enough for any big club. I doubt any top 20 clubs in eu would go for our players.

Milan and Ralf Rangnick are satisfied after Tuesday's meeting in Vienna. Good feelings. Rangnick has asked to bring in his own men and reorganize the youth sector. He wants a say in the coach selection.
I dont mind this.
Bringing Ralf who is a control freak give me good signs that Card & Ibra dont mind to give power to others.
Ralf will change everything about this club from scouting, medical, games ....

I know Pioli won us a title.
But i wonder what could have been if we went with Ralf years ago.

It’s weird for Milan fans to praise their own team and mock their fiercest rivals? What???? Literally any fans of any team would do this. What are you talking about lol. What you said can be 100% true but it’s still weird to make fun on Milan fans for making fun of inter. We could be in serie C and I will laugh at them.

I get this view but also…whether you or I like Pioli or not, he is the only semi successful period we’ve had in the last 15 years. All of the coaches, directors, owners(!), players in that time, he’s the only guy who won a thing. And got us CL regularly, which was taken for granted here obviously considering the last two seasons.

Rangnick is a smart guy so I understand wanting to get behind him. But he’s also scared off many big clubs over the years and was horrible at United. My fam likes United so I follow them closely, a lot of fans said he correctly identified the cancers in the club but otherwise he didn’t do anything. And that’s a similar environment to Milan. So I get it but I’m not gonna think “what if” over the only decent period Milan has had for two decades.

If he’s the right man for the current job, we will see. He and glasner would be interesting but they’re gonna need a lot of time. And both would probably criticize things during rough stretches that im not sure Gerry will appreciate. But we need to do something drastic, 100%

And your conclusion is that Ibra made calls to Rafa and Tom and that was why we collapsed? Since when has Rafa been decisive? You mean Rafa and Tom were stellar before the infamous "Ibra phone call"? Haven't we been shit since day one and we're only scraping through matches with laboured, narrow wins of single margins? At what time/point did Ibra made the calls? November? October? This January? March?

Whoever brings Mateta is the coach for me. If Iraola is scared of harnessing that power, go home then.

Well United hired him as a consultant/director and then thrust him into a coaching role

And then got rid of him before he ever get to implement any of his ideas

He had that famous “United needs open heart surgery” letter on the way out

Hell nah. My Liverpool friends can’t stand him and the dude got booed despite spending epl record on players and winning the league. Liverpool has lost all aggression and intensity, Slot is a straight up dumbass/ignorant af in the media, he doesn’t believe in defense. Stay away from Slot

Yes he identified issues in the club and wasn’t given time to really do anything. But it’s also true he’s literally never done anything at a big club. I’m interested in him just pointing out he’s a gamble too like anyone would be. He does seem smart.
