The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

[CapitanoMaldini]

Man they fired him in two minutes there is a way to do this kind of thing to an icon. I cannot believe.

That’s my main gripe in this, even though I do think that big picture, owners have the right to put in their own people.

Wtf is this

The thing is, I’ve said this before and was told off by I’m sure it would work, the Dortmund/Leipzig model would work for us in THIS league, at least in the first 5 years if you consider summer 2023 to be our new year 0. This is because not only is it a novel model in Serie A, it would build our coffers for each subsequent transfer window while retaining a strong system.

It wouldn’t work in other leagues because so many other clubs in those leagues are following a similar model. While we adopt and perfect this model, inter, Juventus and Lazio can continue signing old, Italian free agents for immediate effect with a gradual drop off and this will be unsustainable. Next thing you know, they won’t be able to qualify for UCL and will be struggling to finish in Europa league places. I’m not against the moneyball approach in Serie A at all and who better to steer the ship than Moncada?

dude we let go of maldini just today, you wanna bring up the dortmund model? people will legit jump off bridges

bro, brugge's sd made a mockery of maldini when he made him do several roundtrips, and it took another flight to switzerland (summit) to close the deal

if anything, and especially during gazidis' time, the club has shown it has valuations on any player and will not exceed it by a penny. we have probably missed out on many a players in the past because of it but our cautiousness has also made us get more bangers than flops since if you don't spend/spend frugally you're also less likely to lose.

maldini during last summer was dragged on the nose regarding cdk and we lost both on time and money. moncada presumably is the one to estimate the valuation, so why would any sd laugh him off/ won't make the time of day when he comes up to him with a fair offer/offer that is within our standards? if it isn't to the rival club's satisfaction, we continue on.

spoiler alert- sd's have laughed maldini off as well in the past, that is the fault of having a moneyball plan which we unfortunately do.

Cost cutting can be done easy. Maldini doesn't know how to operate teams?

Bitching about slowdorf and pirlo and now we have krunic running the show

Will Maldini try to sue Milan and lose like Boban did ?

I mean people are literally attributing all the success to Maldini and all of the limitations on owners being cheap.

Truth is somewhere in between, but I can certainly see why they wanted to do away with him. Is it he best way to do it? Probably not but we aren’t privy to inside info.

But again it’s better done sooner than dragging this shit out like last year and waste time.

But the owners have been cheap - there is no way around that.

Now did Maldini do the best with what he was given, no but this great line "we can win while spending little" has not be accomplished yet unless that is in the form of our success last season. Gerry's own he likes winning and we are going to be among the top teams seems like straight alternative facts.

Do you believe we will now beat all these other clubs to these players, do you think our targets are now easeir to close and Benfica, Dortmund, Chelsea and City etc wont still be scooping up way more talent than us?

I understand putting in his own guy and probably couldnt do it after last season's win - I look forward to see how quickly the new management team is revealed.

As wacky as we are in the commode, this is probably the most balanced and knowledgeable in football collection of Milanisti on the internet. The rest of the internet is full of clowns and twitter is just a histrionic cesspool. As a matter of principle, I won’t ever insult a fellow Milanista outside of banter. On twitter, supposed Milanisti “dunk” on each other every day and were the main group with the #pioliout nonsense before he was appointed. I don’t care what any bozo looking for followers has to say on twitter. If I can run my ideas by you, @Qaas, @Curupira, @Casualista, @Samaldinho, @omer486, @brk, @Cloren, @Master Smurf, etc. I’m content with being a hermetic mad scientist on here

Jimmy Butler is giving me hope in sports

 

[kakajd]

Maldini gone is surprising.

A big reason players respect Milan

Theo signing to learn
Theo joining

RAFA getting the salary increase

Mike in Donna out

Our entire team was built from maldini getting these things through according to what we know

Is he perfect, no.

But he had a big role in getting these core key players, and keeping them

Let's hope we improve
Not budget cuts and tight purses

The club is making money

No reason to kill room for growth with caps and low transfer windows

Fuck we are on the opposite sides I hate nba

Checkout Jason timpf on the volume, he's actually great and not a hot take specialist like Colin cowherd

 

[bill0621]

Bayern fired Oliver Kahn after winning the league and people were saying “this is what ambitious clubs do”

Food for thought

The situation for Bayern is very different. Bayern actually has fund and is aiming for CL.

If Redbird can replace Maldini with a more capable DS and has a 100m mercato without selling core players. I’ll not complain at all.

College Sports in America were always better.. actually playing for the dream of making it big always drew me in.. NIL is kinda messing that up now though

No I don’t think that.

I think it will be about the same but just someone who won’t go to the media to put the pressure on them.

They saw him as a guy to smooth things over with the fans while running the club to the economic realities of Italy, but this guy now is going out of his way to align with the fans to put more pressure on them to spend when that’s not their intention. Why would they be okay with that?

Even in this small market league, we aren’t and can’t be the biggest spender. That’s just a reality with these people.

at the very least, everyone will be aligned on what the goal is and won’t be making CdK type of gamble for some false hope of dominating cl in 3-5 years.

That whole Heat team is probably why Gerry believes he can go full trash tier and succeed
