It says Carick but as always UTD fans are clueless and this is Amorim time. You can see his idea of 2-2-6 playmaking which is really risky and needs ball playing CBs. He literally invite opposition to press and then break it

Wouldn’t this be easier to achieve with a 4231

Cardinale told this to my source

AC Milan is too special and we have too much of a responsibility for multi-generations of people to not treat my ownership as one of the most important things I will do in my life. I understand that now.

All I can say is that I have never failed at anything in my life, although sometimes it takes longer to break through. But I am not going to stop until we break through and return this Club to its rightful place at the top.

As far as communications go, I totally agree with you. When I bought the club, the existing regime tried to keep me away and I was always fighting to be involved and to know what was going on. I also wanted to engage more with the press and derivatively the fans, but was told no. I have now also changed this and am making myself completely open and available to the press - all I ask is that they be responsible and not perpetuate fake news. As in everything in life, it needs to be a mutual two way street. It will take time because of the void that was created before as you point out, but I will also keep working at that.

It is good to know that there are responsible professional people like you who care about getting it right and open to having a mutually beneficial relationship with me and the Club. Whatever you need, just come to me directly and I’ll make sure those lines of communication are open and growing.

Let’s find time for you and me to meet in Milano and have proper catch up. Let me know if you want to come to the first home game on Aug 28 and maybe we meet prior to the game.
Could you tell him to advise Gerry to opt for Italian young talents instead of overpaying fodders from abroad such Nkunku-Rlc-Athekame-Chuku and instead of putting 40millions on Inacio he better invests it on Scalvini.

Conc had something like that actually. But in Amorim’s system the center defender go to anchor and create 5-3. Then after releasing there are 5 in attack. How to ball reach them I have no idea.

You have a point though. He can certainly change the system and have the same style of play since it is totally flow. He is just stubborn.

Hopefully Galatasaray feels pressured to answer and offer a few mils more for Leao so we accept the offer.

The Boston Red Sox have experienced mixed regular season results and a dip in deep postseason runs since Gerry Cardinale’s firm, RedBird Capital Partners, purchased an approximate 11% minority stake in parent company Fenway Sports Group (FSG) in March 2021. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
While Cardinale serves as a key financial partner and strategic board member rather than the primary baseball decision-maker (a role held by principal owner John Henry), the team has fluctuated significantly during his investment tenure. [1, 2, 3, 4]

On-Field Performance (2021–2026)
  • 2021 Season: Highly successful. The Red Sox won 92 games and made a deep postseason push, defeating the Yankees and Rays before ultimately losing in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) to the Houston Astros. [1]
  • 2022 & 2023 Seasons: Major regression. The team collapsed to consecutive last-place finishes (5th) in the competitive AL East division, posting identical 78-84 records both years. [1]
  • 2024 Season: Modest recovery. The team finished exactly at .500 with an 81-81 record, missing the playoffs but climbing to 3rd in the division. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • 2025 Season: Return to postseason. Boston bounced back with an 89-73 record to claim an AL Wild Card spot, though they were quickly eliminated by the New York Yankees. [1, 2]
  • Current 2026 Season: The Red Sox are highly competitive, holding a 64-51 record and sitting 3rd in the AL East. Their season has been highlighted by a massive, franchise-record-tying 15-game winning streak
So we wil probably finish top 4 withinin the next 2-3 seasons.

11% is a minority share, its non-controlling. so he couldn't have affected management.

clearly you have an agenda, but no problem, i'll bite.

FSG also own Liverpool. It's better to compare with a football club than Red Sox.

Now do the same exercise with Liverpool...

no worries, I'll wait

Current UEFA ranking of Milan is 30th.
Last time we were first was back in 2006-07.
That season, 30th placed team in Europe was Stuttgart, with Schalke and Monaco just above them.
Playing for clubs like Stuttgart or Schalke never guaranteed anyone starting roles in national teams.
Compared to that, I think we having Rabiot and Maignan starting for a stacked team like France is an overachievement.
Milan's rank in uefa coefficients ranking is 24th tho?

Fiorentina being 14th is crazy.

Bla bla bla

If he really wanted a change he would’ve made a total revamp. We are doing EXACTLY the same thing as we have always done under his rule.
New coach every season
New management
Same idiotic transfer strategy
Same old inability and unwillingness to clean the house from all the fodder

Only exception this summer is that we dropped 70 m on a single player instead of 70 m on two players.

He has a lot to prove, more so this season where he's making everything about himself.

The good thing is he can't blame others this time.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
Apparently Estupinan can leave as Amorim is not convinced. Who will buy him ? And does this open the floodgates for other necessary departures ? The same question remains who will actually take them ?

Ok the first point regarding the veracity of his story:

Sure, you don't have to believe him. That's a question for everyone who's interested to decide. I'm inclined to believe him personally. You think he'd lie about what transpired in a story of national significance? This could turn into a huge scandal if so. I take Maldini's reputation and word any day over Malagò (who even claims Mancini is not his friend). Looking further back, Gerry too, what a trustworthy and upstanding owner we have. Sure, let's take his side over Maldini's any day.

Did Maldini say the split wasn't consensual? Sounds like Malagò just left out a ton of details that don't make him look bad. Why else would Maldini quit? Like I said at some point when it happened, the trust was broken and the relationship became untenable.

Maybe he should be airing out the dirty laundry anyways. Isn't Italian football a total disaster? Sounds like he was trying to make change and the old guard came in to revert everything back. At least people in Italy who care about football deserve to know this. Who cares about working relationships in this context. The issue is more important than a working relationship with the Malagò.

Whether you think his interviews post-Milan were appropriate at all is another story, but in this case he seems totally justified.
In these situations the truth is never 100% on one side or another.

Malago surely omitted info in his statement, Maldini probably embellished to some extent. For sure Malago's actions justified Maldin's resignation, but one has to ask himself/herself: what triggered the actions. Did Malago get scared of Maldini's ideas? Maybe, but he must have known others will be pushing for much of the same. Was it the public outcry resulting from selecting Pirlo? Maybe. With some notable exceptions (like Capello), this was not well received in Italy. And that is an understatement. Multiple factors? Possibly.

The real question is how did the relationship sour in 2 weeks? And, no, do not tell me it was 100% Malago's fault, that does not hold water. Something played out there that was not clearly explained by either.

In the end, if I truly belive in something and I know I can make a difference, I will fight for it as hard as I can. If there is disagreement with my management, I will try to work through it and I will not let my ego get in the way. But maybe that is me, and maybe it is unfair to expect someone who is a superstar and does not need a paycheck to be diplomatic,

And, no, none of this is intended to justify Gerry's actions. Different story, different dynamics.
