The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

[sheva]

Oh really

Also was the guy behind leao's renewal

 

[Pigeon]

What?

Why did @General leave?

he still got his burner account @Susan

 

[Master Smurf]

He got the autonomy that he wanted. Our opening offer for CdK was 25m + bonuses and there were reports that's the evaluation RB was comfortable with.

3 big players to raise the level of the group is a big ask - in modern day economy we are looking at a 80-100m window just for those 3 players, not to mention on fairly large contracts.

What if he got those 3 players and we didn't raise the level and we had to sell them on cut-price deals like Paqueta / Piatek? Is Maldini going to cover the loss from his own pockets? Also, what if Maldini changed his tunes and preached patience and asked for even more after he got his players? Ownership can clearly see Maldini accumulating more leverage in terms of relations w/ the fans. Barring a couple of people here, most fans attribute our successes to Maldini and not the stringent budget set by Elliot and attribute to our limitations to their lack of spending. So where do they draw the line if they let that slide?

From the ownership's perspective, we already comfortably achieved our bare minimum goal so why would they move away from their modus operandi and risk serious financial consequences just bc Maldini forgot why he was hired and started siding w/ the fans?

I am just answering the narrative that Maldini got 'what he wanted'

He got part of what he wanted.

In many jobs we are told to do more with less and meet unrealistic goals given inadequate resources.

We obviously will see now if they can do a better job or it will be more of the same.

 

[Caladan]

Here:

Is he come back?

 

[Pingu]

Is he come back?

Not until we next reach CL Semi's, if I'm not mistaken? Or maybe perma'd himself this time for good.

 

[Samaldinho]

Tatarusanu, Dest, Vranckx, Bakayoko, Messias, Florenzi, Rebić, Origi, Ballo Toure, Diaz, Adli, Lazetić... Thats 12 players. And we need to let them go. They are useless at this moment.

Alot of work and that work must start now.

How will we ever rid ourselves of Dest, Bakayoko, Tata, Vranckx, and Diaz?

Such huge burdens from Maldini for Moncada.

 

[MilanMB]

I think you all give Pioli to much cred, he's in no way shape or form involved in the sacking of Paolo.

oh wait, one thing, he managed to suck when trusted on. Now if you're in the conspiracy mood, you could say that he was living on the edge by being shit on the pitch, yet make it to CL to keep his job.

Jokes aside, Pioli would lose the whole squad if he stabbed Paolo. No chance.

 

[Master Smurf]

I said it a little while ago, but Zanetti is in the perfect role at Inter. Doesn't have to worry about getting sacked and is closely associated with ownership. Probably what Maldini should've had, but he wanted more.

That's a personal choice - some people want an easy life and others want to say I made a difference or I built this.

No right or wrong in that situation.

 

[Caladan]

Not until we next reach CL Semi's, if I'm not mistaken? Or maybe perma'd himself this time for good.

It's sad. I would understand if we are going into BanterEra again. At the moment we are going CorpoEra and we will see what will happen. Everybody is in shock

 

[Polotelli]

We need Maldini back!

 

[Shiby]

Damn Padre snake.

Piolis on fire.

 

[Samaldinho]

It's about trade offs.

They don't mind an inexperienced guy if he can do good work and keep his mouth shut. Even bonus point if he can "spin and dodge" question for them in the media. If Moncada goes rogue, he will meet the same fate.

But sure, proceed to spin with your argument "but Moncada also doesn't have experience". Like I said, won't bring Paolo back.

You brought up experience Coop, not me.

You can't shit in Maldini about his lack of experience and then act like it doesn't matter with Moncada.

I look forward to Moncada's tenure.

 

[MarioReality]

Serie A clubs will come for Messias. He's good enough for a few of em. (I can't believe dini redeemed him tho)...
Origi will likely move back to the EPL, he'll have suitors there too. Rebic is gone, we may even terminate his contract ffs.

I don't think goals were unrealistic and the resources were inadequate (top 4 finish, finish outside of group in CL).

I think it was about diplomacy.

That's not what I said but it doesn't really matter.

Take care of yourself friend.

 

[Samaldinho]

Kamada is still coming so you aren't off the hook buddy

Have you decided whether RLC is a great player or not yet?

 

[sheva]

‘Working in close integration with the first team manager’ NAH MAN PIOLI INDIRECTLY GOT HIM SACKED… they’re giving Pioli the keys this season, this isn’t a coincidence. What a turn of events wow…

Yikes, that's the official statement? Reads like it was given to chatgpt (the free version)
Disgusting corporate speech, fuck gerry for real

 

[voom]

Origi salary is horror ,for me that is Maldini biggest mistake . You can't give that amount for bench player.

Origi here is for long

 

[Samaldinho]

Franco Ordine, journalist of Il Giornale, explained: "The relationship is cold between Maldini and Pioli? Yes, from what I understand. Above all, I understand that there was a lively meeting between Pioli and Maldini regarding the use of the players who arrived during last summer market".

Of all the people, Maldini got burned by a nobody like Pioli.

 

[Longbowman]

WTF @Curupira gone as well

 

[Fusiproe12]

Pioli has coached 12 squads

6 have failed (Palermo, Chievo, Modena, Parma, Grosseto, Piacenza).

3 have had deaths (Bologna - Mihajlovic, Fiorentina - Astori, Sassuolo - owner).

Calma with firing him.

Now Gazidis, Maldini and Massara are unemployed

 

[voom]

Forumers prepare for the new Milan. Time will heal the pain. It is easier knowing that Maldini blew it this year. Full support for Moncada and Furlani.
I hope Pioli will not be here much longer either. I hate that weak person.

 

[MarioReality]

Origi salary is horror ,for me that is Maldini biggest mistake . You can't give that amount for bench player.

i will NEVER understand his salary and how the hell they came up with that number. the guy played like 1000min in 5yrs. it's honestly sackable.

 

[Panache]

Maldini got 3 big players to raise the level of the group ???

Not looking to argue - just saying.

On a limited budget, Maldini decided to put all his eggs in the CDK basket. This is probably the biggest reason why he got sacked. Would have been a totally different season had he used that money to sign Dybala for free, Enzo for 15 mil and a young promising RW for 15-20.

And if it’s true he wanted to spend our budget this season on Diaz, Berrardi and Arnautovic then I don’t know what to tell you.

We need to move forward. Maldini made some mistakes but he didn’t deserve to be sacked like that. I also think Pioli is probably on thin ice. The Maldini sacking should tell you that no is safe.

 

[sheva]

Is the white mark on Curu for real?? What in the fuck?
First you take zlatan, all fun and jokes, then Maldini, OK had some faults here and there

But general and Curu on the same day??? The exodus is real

Every two hours of not being in the forum something drastic happens. Forum will be sold to gerry in the morning and and will vanish? Am afraid to sleep at this stage

Curu you will be missed buddy

 

[ForzaMilan2]

Both pioli and Moncada like Kamada. Piloli will have more power in the market.

That is a good thing. In hindsight, it does not look like there was sufficient communication between Pioli and Maldini in the last transfer market. That is inexcusable, and (most likely) it is mostly on Maldini.

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

Id like to point out that Gerry's actions have us all pointing fingers here there and everywhere.

I really hope the squad have been addressed and things have been explained to them.

Working for and alongside folk you don't trust makes for a toxic environment.

In the wash I hope Moncada, Pioli etc all come out smelling smelling of roses as I don't think any backstabbing will sit well with certain senior players.

I really hope another snake pit hasn't been curated, and this is just Gerry swinging his tiny cock about...

 

[MilanMB]

Please ban me until date X...

ohh wait, I'm not a bitch.

 

[Storkness]

What the fuck is happening.. soon there will be no one left to lurk
