Vieri: ?Milan have no money to replace Pioli?
Yep pretty much what I explained
Might as well keep him and try to gamble on signings hoping somehow we get to CL while reducing debt.
This way when they do finally get us in CL we will be attractive to investors and sold.
Gazidis is here to be building our brand and try to clean up the books. I doubt Elliot is looking to spend much more so expect low cost loans, maybe 1 or 2 signing, and probably bending to demands of at least 2 of Donnarumma, Hakan, or Roma.
What a shitty future
Another decade of mediocrity boys
Maybe this is what people called hell on earth
Last 5 games against the Top 6 teams:

1 goal scored and 13 goals conceded which is the worrying part.
I think many weird and irrational, but understandable, things have been written during the game last night and after it.
People are losing their minds and I'm almost losing my mind as well. So many years of disappointment has caused many here to give up the fight for CL after this loss. We shouldn't give up, not until it's mathematically impossible. This ending in Serie A is a real dogfight and we have a chance in that fight.
I stand by my post some weeks ago about Pioli. These losses are putting more and more dents in my belief in that of course, as I'm human, but this is still a very young squad.
My only faith is that we manage to win the Benevento, Cagliari and Torino games somehow, and that Ibra takes care of the other two. Might it not happen? Yes.
I hope Pioli/Ibra is able to save the stumps of belief and that we're able to step onto the field vs Benevento with confidence. A win there is the equivalent of putting one foot in front of the other.
Forza Milan! Reserve judgment for reality.
What do you expect when the whole plan and strategy depends on a 40 year old forward. I mean who does this??Last 5 games against the Top 6 teams:

This has been coming from since around December, where we were winning but the gameplay was very poor. During that time Pioli decided to stick with his formation and kept seeing "positives" game after game. The fact that the players look lost in the final third in terms of off the ball movement and passing is on him. Milan has a better attacking unit than Spezia but they have an actual game plan when going forward. In certain matches we should have switched to a 3 man midfield but he stuck with the 4-2-3-1 and highpress and our midfielders we exposed at will.
Pioli did well during a period where nothing was expected of him and as soon as the pressure started coming in, he lost the plot. I've always advocated that whether we got UCL or not he should leave, he's a great motivator but that only lasts for so long. With our young squad we need some who teaches football. For example, Sarri, Rangnick, De zerbi, Gasperini
At least we wont embarrass ourself in CL. Only club on planet without striker.
Imagine high tempo cl games with ibra and mandzo. I swear maldini and pioli re on some drugs. Giving 7M to 41 old and making whole gameplan around him. Next year he might miss 70% of games. FFS just get some hard working ST with good injury history. How hard is that? Does beloti cost more than 25M? And mandzo s done. I guess every1 see that except people in charge.
Also we should stop overrating some gals like kebab, benacer etc.
The players look like a bunch of pussies. Ibra carried them for a while, but even he has limitations.
Pioli obviously needs to stay, but he needs to find balance
Our defense looks like shit
Christophe Galtier will leave Lille, here is a coach for us, Massimiliano Allegri is the other.
This team needs to be carried by the coach and management, not another player.I dont like that Ibra has to carry the team, also in his narcistic interviews when he claims that he is like a father to the squad...its so fucking cringe.
This team should be carried by Kessie and capitano not a retiring Ibra.
Please explain to me why he 'obviously needs to stay'.
for 2 reasons:
1. We won't get anyone better (don't say Allegri)
2. Even average coach can achieve something if provided time and resourses
Hauge should have played more, its the only way people would see that he was not ready.
And because of this, we need to suck in that we will play EL qualifiers next season after he completely lost the plot and has his team playing like utter garbage for 6 months?
EDIT: no, we will not play EL qualifiers, we will play in the Conference league
