I'm sure whenever we get a real owner Maldini will be reintroduced, maybe as a director again.

Pioli acts like a nice guy, hugs his players, seems loyal, but in reality he's the re-incarnation of Macchiavelli. A genius, really, who divides and conquers.
Do you know your history? Macchiavelli was not a great leader by any means. Lasted 14 years before the Medicis took back the republica fiorentina. He told it how it is though in the prince. His best contribution is the book he wrote, not how well he did in a position of government. He was midtable in governing, ala fiorentina

The saddest part is the way Maldini has been fired. Maldini deserved a lot better. He deserved at least to keep up the apperances and let it look like they both agree on this, but if Maldini wasn't in line with the new management style ( good or bad it may be we don't know yet ) the owners want to use they have the right to change him. It's sad, very sad, but it would be sadder to see another season of internal war and disappointing results and believe me, if those disappointing results will come i won't defend Redbird for a single second, i just say to wait and see before we say the end is near

I have to admit I’m really excited to see what Pioli has in store for us.

He can prove to all of us that Maldini was holding him back and that with him getting more power, we will soar high.

I’m not optimistic but the idea of our coach having a say in transfers and playing our new players will be exciting to say the least. I always had belief that a coach should have a say in transfers.

Or he can fall down even further and banking on him was a mistake.

Come on Padre Pioli, prove to us what you got.

Imagine he gets a say in the transfers and he still doesn’t play them though, that would be next level batshit insane.

Next season is do or die for Pioli and I have to admit that prospect excites me a bit.
Loool

I’ve gone both ways on this. But guys like Theo, Leao, Tonali, Kalulu, Diaz have all improved a lot under Pioli

Honestly I think Adli was used as a scapegoat to throw Paolo under the bus - especially as Paolo was scheming to replace him.

I feel like there was an undercurrent of tension between Pioli and Maldini that was kept under wraps throughout the season
Theo and Leao is purely gems
Kalulu I already wrote it
Diaz? Perform well in RW but constantly put in AM, outmuscled everytime

yes, and 10th place should be a good performance for next season,

exactly how you said it, get the fuck out of here cunt.
Settle down pee wee

all I am saying is no one is above the club. If it means that we sell our stars and reinforce correctly then so be it.

If Maldini wanted to replace Pioli with Pirlo and then spend his budget on Arnautovic, Berardi and RLC...I would have fired him myself. But that's just bullshit. At least, I refuse to believe it until there are concrete facts about it...especially the Pirlo thing.

Now, it's pretty clear that he wanted to replace Pioli. I think Pioli staying and getting a bigger role is quite telling. The question is, was Pioli involved in this mutiny. If so, he's a fuking dirty rat!!

Anyway, with Maldini gone, Pioli is probably the only person the players will turn to with some trust of the future. So in a way, even if I was on the side of firing him, at this point it's probably good he's staying. I know we think of Maldini as "the glue" and I' not saying he wasn't as he was there in Milanello every day....but at the end of the day the players (always) have a better relationship with the manager. A lot of them have shown great respect for Maldini, but also for Pioli. So yea, in the current predicament, Pioli staying may be the difference between receiving 5 transfer requests and none.

Lastly, gerry is a piece of shit for the way he's handled this. If his and Maldini's visions didn't align, it's his right to make a move. Only time will tell if he's right. But my point is, Maldini deserved more respect than this. They could have come to some kind of mutual agreement and announce this thing together. In a civil way. Not this bullshit that's caused chaos.

With that being said, it'll take some time, but facts will come out for sure. And maybe it was Maldini that didn't want the "civil break up" after all. We know Maldini stands for what he believes in, so this meeting going sideways could have also been on him.

One thing is true. Gerry went into the meeting to break up the relationship with Maldini. From that point on, how things transpired and who wanted a mutual agreement to separate and who wanted to just leave that room on the current terms, remains to be seen.

Sportmediaset and Milannews say that Ibra might become that link that is currently missing between Milanello and Casa Milan, i sure hope this is true

Yes it was quite honorable how they kicked him out of the club. These men have no honor. They are businessman and would sell you too if you had value to them. They care not of the fans, not of family.
I wasnt even talking about RB.
Hopefully RB wont throw us to the lions like G&B "the family" did.

The amount of shit being piled on Maldini, and talking about performance... a list of transfers with X's (ooo) with most of them loaned players. Leao would have been an X btw after his first TWO years here, people wanted to sell him the summer before he exploded, Tonali after his first year also would have been an X. So... yah.

"Don't believe reports" but then you guys parrot the idea Maldini wanted Arnautovic, Berardi... and now he wanted Pirlo? Rumors were about Italiano before he got fired btw lol..

It wasn't about money but then you criticize Maldini for asking for more money publicly?

But yeah, it's just business... yknow, performance evaluation. Corporate America cut throat efficiency, lol. The land of incompetence and taxpayer funded bail outs.

But sure, let's pretend that this situation really is about performance...

Pioli is still fucking here? Pioli?

Pioli who can't beat Spezia? Or bottom half teams in general? Speaking of shit teams... Can't figure out Inter... four fucking times in 2023?

Pioli who can't hire fitness staff to keep our players fit for years?

I'm sorry, this doesn't look good to me. I have been described as a positivity force person, and I just do not see the positives here.

I am a Milan fan, and I want Milan to beat everyone and win everything, always. I hope that Pioli turns into Pep and Carlo combined and Moncada is Braida while Furlani is Galliani.

But they have an uphill battle to convince me.

Every report against Maldini is propaganda, but every report that puts RedBird in a negative light is truth.

Cmon guys... You gotta be able to see the lunacy in this, right?

The owners and maldini didnt see eye to eye on how the club was going to operate. It's as simple as that.
Someone wanted more power than the owner wanted to give.

You don't need 3 weeks of Walt Disney fables when the truth is sitting clearly in front of you.
You are american
Thats all ama have to say here

Redbird hasn’t shown ANYTHING that would make us believe the good “rumours” about them

There is one thing worth noting - if we want to beat clubs richer than us, we can’t do what they do. We need to do things differently, or we’ll always end up just being worse.

One way to do this is to focus on young signings that are undervalued through world class scouting and analytics.

I think this is where Maldini disagreed fundamentally. He seemed to want to go after more seasoned players like RLC who would help for depth but never allow us to (potentially) compete at the highest level.

I don’t think his approach would ever lead us to being any better than we are now.

We have to take some risks and do things unconventionally - just like the Oakland As

I think maybe he was going to fire Pioli but for sure he would not call Pirlo to replace him, they say Pirlo because i don't know about you but italians Milan fans me included, hate Pirlo from the bottom of their hearts

Psyops to make the firing "understandable"?

This is not true. Now that he’s fired I can admit that Maldini was going to hire me as the first team coach. It would have been a great honor to coach the team, and Maldini had his full faith in me and my team, but Gerry had other ideas.

Thank you for the opportunity, @Maldini.

Just journalists jumping on the sensationalist train. Pay no attention to it. It’s all clickbait. Let’s see how Milan move this summer and see what happens when the new season concludes.

Enjoy your summer, live your life.

Maldini want comibination young and experience player and it proven by Leao and ibra for 18th scudetto
Arsenal tried it (kroenke and comolli era?) and yet No major title, only constant bigger four in the table
