CL semi final and CL qualification for next season…I don’t see a bad season here.
Tell that to the people supporting the choice of Redbird because they are swept up in their Succession fantasies.

This entire situation reeks of genuine stupidity and incompetence.

not sure anyone is ok with how it went down, MB.

Come on, practically the moment this was leaked folk were all over dropping Maldini, queueing to shove him in front of the bus.

Id say that's more than okay with it, it's actively getting involved...

I'm actually really angry with a lot of the tone in here, it really shows the standard of some of our RnB fan base... Little kids wanting new shiny toys, and acting with glee that they got it, regardless of the expense to others.

Whether you think he was a success or failure, the way this has been done and the timing is fucking terrible.

I honestly think so many in here are very shortsighted and not able to actually think about the fall out from this.

This place is a snake pit for kids, it's a real shame.

Gerry just doesn't like being told how it is or to put in money-plain and simple. Imagine sacking the pillars and reasons we are where we are and keeping Pioli-mental! Fuck Gerry man seriously! When you attack Maldini you attack the fans. I have serious concerns over this guy now

A new day. A new start.

Forza Milan and Forza Moncada.

Yeah and the shit tier twitter guy got the scoop on Pioli having second thoughts, which is now reported by Vitiello.

Now they're saying they're bringing in Billy Beane. And I'm supposed to believe they are competent and know what they are doing?
Well that guy is a clown, just because Vitiello is reporting something doesn't validate him

I mean...what'd you expect? Redbird has a team of renowned data scientists, they were obviously going to implement a similar approach to Toulouse FC. This approach is more in line with what I pictured rather than Arnautovic, Loftus Cheek, and Brahim mercatos

Fair point...Moncada MIGHT have endorsed CDK's signing but this is where the Furlani-Moncada dual partnership comes into effect as I'm sure Giorgio would've overruled him and convinced him to sign Dybala instead. Regardless, even if we did still end up signing CDK, Moncada had practically closed deals for both Enzo + Muani so three transfer masterstrokes (including Thiaw) and one bomb is still excellent business. After all, nobody can be 100% right of the time.
All the summer press covered Moncada scouting CDK for years.

Ask Marioreality, Moncada loved CDK.

You all wanted Moncada control, you're getting it. I can't fucking wait.

Lol, no one can be 100% right? Let's see Moncada do better than Maldini, starting off with a much better team.

Can’t believe I’m going to say this, and I might regret this in the future, but thank fucking god

I need someone to keep things grounded and convince our players to stay. I do not want anyone sold. Pioli is that guy.

Leao wouldn't have extended with Milan if it wasn't for Maldini. Lol.

Pioli is thinking of leaving.

Theo and Maignan are pissed.

Can't wait to see Moncada's magic. He got to scout CDK for 2 years, can't wait to see his incredible superpowers this summer.

If me and him both like Kamada, then we're all fucked.
Spoke with Boban 2 months ago. He was super disappointed with Leao not being extended, saying that Malidni is a good man but lack experience in that role. Maybe just maybe Cardinale shares the same opinion. Altough I am super pissed off. Sending Maldini away is a very wrong move. He was the only one with Ibra who could bring back Milan glory spirit. He was the reason many believed in this project.. with him gone at the moment it looks like a very dark future for us.

And unless they lift the CL this season and win Serie A, or how about just find a plot of land to build a fucking stadium? Unless they win all those three things, I think they fucked up.

And they're such amazing data scientists that they have to rely on Billy fucking Beane to help out?

Honestly, what timing would’ve been better? Mid-market? The window hasn’t opened yet so plenty of time for the new guys to settle + it looks like Moncada and Furlani are the ones who’ll primarily run the show so the transition should be rather smooth you’d think.

Remember the jokes people made about Maldini getting sacked the same way Bayern sacked Khan and some mentioned we would never do that because we are a classy club :o

Little did we know
Berlusconi is a pedo /rapist. It was never classy lol. Galliani himself is no saint.

Classy died after 2005.

I think he and the other guy mentioned are just heads of the data company Redbird owns. Besides when Maldini took the reigns he walked in the door with Giampaolo...if he gets to have Giampaolo I'm willing to give Gerry some leeway here

Do you think the mercato Maldini was spearheading would have accomplished that? I have my doubts. I'm just willing to let this play before acting like the sky is falling

For those of you saying “ofc Pioli is staying..he will coach Verona etc”.

You do realise after the last 3 years and the achievments he probably joined a group managers thats being hunted by the big teams? If he leaves he will still end in a TOP 5 team. And im not saying Top5 in a farmers league (beside Ligue 1)

Teams like Napoli/Inter/even Chelsea/Spurs would try and go for Pioli like it or not

This is so heart wrenching about Maldini ,it's Roma without Totti and a clear indicator that things aren't gonna be moving to a higher level. What we can absolutely take from this is we are not gonna be joining europes elite and we are happy to struggle for top 4 going forward-that's why Maldini's job is done, there's nowhere else he can take us. Accept we are Arsenal/Spurs for the near future which is gonna annoy alot of people that we aren't looking to take the next step.

You guys are defending a guy who wants to bring in BILLY BEANE to help out. Hahahahahaha.

Holy shit. You guys shat on Maldini for lack of experience and nepotism and all sorts of shit, lol. And you all talked about the ruthless business of America's corporate strength, as if it isn’t filled with failed sons of inbred morons who inherited their wealth... and are talking about Moncada's brilliance...

And Redbird's brilliant idea is to bring in Billy fucking Beane. A baseball guy.

I can't wait for this season. I seriously can't wait.
