The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

[Tantalis]

Get your facts right, I’m realistic force. I created a new faction with brother @Curupira as my main man for a reason.

who's gonna tell him? @leaf

 

[MilanFan89]

N’zola also one to watch. Good numbers back to back seasons

Nzola ? Come on. We need some quality signings, not mediocre 1 season flies
We maybe play in cl for 3 seasons straight. Its time to get a real forward who can score 20+goals. And no, I dont mean Scamacca, Morata or Arnautovic.
If we get around 100m budget. Will be money enough to get a good st, rw and cm. And some backups ofc

 

[rossonero1]

True, give them Origi/Rebic. They’ll be valuable additions to their squad.

Would be a good way to make a splash.

 

[Alo88]

Scamacca
Leao - SMS - Brahim
Tonali - Loftus Cheek
Theo - Tomori - Thiaw - Kalulu
Mike
​

All of a sudden I'm feeling...positive

Make this a 4-3-3 with SMS in the advanced CM role in the middle and we're good to go

 

[General]

There’s nothing wrong with another manager for next year. Misguided… maybe. You can want the queen of england to return from the dead. Its not right or wrong

You can have faith in him or not. It’s not up to you

Are you just wanting for me to say how I ‘feel’ emotionally or assess the decisions of the AC Milan leadership? I don’t see that as my job.

my job is to stand and cheer for the club whenever they take the pitch

Pioli resta

ill never be a fan of the game more than of Milan

 

[R.Akbar]

are you not ashamed?

I am refusing to make any comment till the end of the season.

Anything can still happen to those shitass

 

[ROSSONERI7]

Same diffence

 

[Panache]

I know this won’t happen but even if we qualify to CL due to Juve’s fiasco, I wish our owners/managements took it as if we ended our season as #5 which means some heads should roll, preferably the coach who did a poor job. Milan played terribly and don’t deserve CL.

Action ought to be taken regardless. Investing is more important but someone has to take responsibility for this poor season in the league and get fired, and for me that’s Pioli. He shouldn’t be staying regardless…

Performance wise we are 5th, not 4th and hence we should evaluate the coach and management on that and take some action. Fire Pioli or whoever. Some has to take responsibility. Just because we got insanely lucky with this Juventus deduction doesn’t mean we can’t take accountability for our performances.

Investing is the most important thing we need to do, but I still think we should fire Pioli because performance wise, he didn’t fulfil the objective of ending the season as #4.

Terrible take. Why do you sound more angry now then before Juve’s point deduction?
Juve have always cheated and continue to cheat. What makes you think they deserve the CL more than us? They wouldn’t have the squad they have today had it not been for cheating. They wouldn’t be in 2nd had they not cheated.

Also, Pioli is here to stay. He deserves another season with a better mercato this time. We can’t expect him to perform miracles when the owners aren’t doing their part by investing in the team. Also, I don’t see any alternatives that are better than him at the moment so it’s a moot point.

 

[Storkness]

Wait can you tell me with certainty that we 100% won’t bottle it? If we lost to Juventus and Sampdoria, we can still be 5th.

How the fuck are you actually not worried given how the season has gone is the question I want to ask you.

Even after this deduction, we are still not mathematically secured, of course I’ll be worried and you should be too

How can we lose to Samp?

 

[pippofan]

So, to re-cap: We're 3 points ahead of Atalanta 4 over Roma and 5 more over Juve. All we need to do is beat Verona and we're in because we have the tie-braker vs Atalanta. Inter is two ahead of us and will face Atalanta and Torino, while playing the Coppa Italia final on Wed. If we get 6 points we have a shot at getting 3rd if Merda lose one of the last two.
This has been a fantastic day for Milan fans who only a few days ago thought we had little or no chance to make top four.
And, BTW, I don't care how we get in or if we deserve it or not. Juve cheated and we didn't so we deserve CL and they do not.

Great news indeed. Juve were getting their points deducted regardless though, I wasn’t worried.

Which is probably? Hopefully? Why Pioli didn’t give a fuck about the league.

 

[icculus71]

imho:
if we make CL this year, no need to pull the panic plug on pioli...I dont mind giving him another chance.
My stance is that he is great at stage 1 of #daplan and deserves respect and to be honored.

it appears, stage 2 might be a little over his head...rotation and substitutions have been mind boggling.
however, he is still under contract, got us this far and just might, take the next step.

by the grace of maldini, we finish top 4, we should be able to bolster our bench and cruise to a top 4 in 24.
Pioli will not have the excuses of depth or WC...it will be all on him. the choice going forward will be much clearer.

expectataions for this team should be top 4 & make it out of the group in CL....this should have been our expectations this year, but the winning the league last year, gave some people false hope.

gel the team and for christ sakes, get a stadium deal done...improve each year and by 2025 or 26, be back to the top with a sustainable program for years to come...

 

[General]

Expectations are challenge for league title every year… period

and

CL quarter finals

Top 4 in the league is too low of a bar

 

[Dottore Joey]

Things are moving.

‘Top target’

 

[rossonero23]

Head to head over goal difference??? Worries me tbh


Saw Scamaca is a potential Milan lineup. Gtfo he's ass

 

[rossonero23]

Cheek, sms, and kova.

 

[Tantalis]

Everyone seems bought in on cheeks early.

 

[Longbowman]

Everyone seems bought in on cheeks early.

I get Origi vibes about Cheek.

 

[MilanFan89]

Loftus Cheek will be a good signing for the midfield.
Big guy, pretty strong and good pass



Against Krunic

You’re STILL worried after what happened to Juve today?

I’m already looking forward to next season.

 

[Cloren]

I didn’t mention Juventus deserve CL more than us rather that I was mostly focusing on ourself and think our own performance didn’t really warrant a CL spot this season. Of course Juventus, a team that cheats doesn’t deserve a CL but it’s weird that our team needed to rely on that for CL qualification instead of getting the job done earlier.

This amount of points wouldn’t have gotten us CL last season or 2 seasons back, hence I think we can do better with another manager which is why I’m asking for Pioli to be fired.

I’m not angry that Juventus got deducted, I’m grateful for it. I just mentioned that I wish the management would still take action on Pioli even after this deduction because I lost my faith in him.

But I know it’s likely that Pioli is staying, so if he remains next season, I’ll back him and hope he gets a good Mercato to recreate post-lock down football. I’m not a Pioli hater, I like him actually but I think his cycle run out. Of course if he proves me wrong next season and takes the team to the next level when he gets adequate investment, I’ll be very happy.

I don’t think this take was controversial so I’m surprised with the responses tbh.

Now I’m actually tired of repeating myself so I’m just gonna summarise the main point from all the posts I made about this incident and quote it back if neccesary.

This is my main point:

To me Pioli should go regardless. The deduction didn’t change this stance for me. If you guys disagree about that, fair dues.

No basis for that comparison. RLC is going to bully Serie A. We need a big, physical mid like him. Only concern is that he’s kind of injury prone like Bennacer.

 

[Milan10]

I have 3 wishes, 4 if you count Inter losing every remaining match and going into administration:

1) win our remaining matches
2) RedBird gives MMM the funding they need to build a proper squad
3) MMM do their jobs well and provide Pioli with a proper squad

Then, it’s all up to Pioli in a sink or swim year.

 

[Cloren]

By the way, is the Juventus deduction decision final or can they still appeal it?

I hope it’s final…

Fair enough. Just sounded like you were angry we made the CL lol. Just don’t ever say things like “we don’t deserve the CL”. It implies that a cheating team like Juve deserve a spot over us. I hope you don’t believe that.

But I also disagree about Pioli

1. I know he’s not blameless but I also think that there aren’t better options out there. So I rather stick with him.

2. I blame the management and owners more than Pioli for this season because of the terrible summer transfers market. The team got weaker because we lost Kessie and Romagnoli. Also Ibra was injured all season. 3 players who were either starters or had a big hand in us winning the league last season. They were never replaced with players of their caliber so this years team is considerably worse. I’ll give Pioli a pass this season.

Of course I don’t. 100% I do not believe that.

Now I get why people had an issue. That line. Fair dues.

That comment was more in relation to our own performances rather than anything to do with Juventus, as in I don’t think we were playing at a level worthy in the league this season to get into CL.

I definitely DO NOT think Juve deserve CL over us, a cheating club doesn’t deserve anything. They deserve to rot. They’re comfortably my most hated club in football. Only their players I can sympathise, but they should leave instead and come to Milan like Vlahovic, Chiesa etc instead of sulking in that club ;p

 

[King George]

Juve deducted points and lost to empoli, roma drew and Lebum james is out. Day keeps getting better and better!!
