Until it happens I’m not gonna fully believe we go full on 1000% analytic mode. We will continue doing what we’re doing but the decision making will change. I think the club believes in its current approach.

We’ve already signed a lot of those data type young guys, we will keep signing players like thiaw, kalulu, Hauge, Vranckx, Ballo Toure, Salad, etc. This isn’t new, and some will hit and some will suck. They also know that. I think they will still make occasional buys in the price range/profile of tomori, Theo, leao, CDK, Tonali too. Those are usually guys who the scouts know are good but are undervalued for one reason or another.

The changes coming are more like last summer we would have gone for Enzo over waiting for Renato, probably no Origi, no players like Mandzukic/Florenzi/Bakayoko. Moncada will get more of a say in pulling the trigger and Pioli will be asked about player profiles more.

So Milan earned 70-80 more than last year. And budget is 25M lower. Media logic

The rest will go to Gerry's pocket. Duh.

Look, if they can use 50m to make a team win the Champions League, I would love it.

I don't want to sell players to fund our transfers. Sell players when you have to for whatever reason, City, Real, Bayern, they all sell players, but just keep things together.

But if you build a team to win the CL, then I'll be behind the project.

However, if the goal is just maintenance, to live in a Dortmund or Tottenham like experience, then no, I do not support that--I don't think that ambition works for the history of the club, or more cynically, the club's "brand."

You've hurt the brand and the ability to tell a story (cynically: marketing) by firing Maldini. The only way you can recover is by winning.

The hype around the club was rooted in Maldini rebuilding the giant. People will not be excited by building an Italian Dortmund. The fans (customers) who you rely on are still young enough to be desirable, but old enough to remember Maldini playing lol. Your new, younger fans, are being swept up in tales of Gullit (like my nephews) who was a player I barely remember because I was too young to remember now.

They have put themselves in a tight spot, honestly.

If they can be smarter than everyone else, then I would love that. Galliani from 2003 to 2012 (2007 really) was my favorite period because we always seemed to make the right moves and made smarter transfers than everyone. I loved it.

If they pull it off, I would love to be smug in the face of big spending City, Real, and company.

But I have trouble squaring away the idea that this new direction will be wildly successful when the people implementing it not only have placed their faith in Pioli, who has shown more incompetence than Maldini by a huge margin, but that this group also seem to misread the way to market the brand they have purchased.

Listen guys you dont need 100 M for a good mercato if you know where to look. If Moncada can find the Enzos or Muanis of this world then why the fuxk not

I just want us to retain our players and not sell at first opportunity

I think what’s gonna happen is they gonna selll a couple of the big guys like tomori + maignan /Theo and then reinvest in a bunch of talented guys with a more well rounded squad with dedepth.
We wont sell important players unless they want to be sold.

I will ask again, who said that? Furlani called media and said that? Or sombody from the press is reading people's mind?

Difficult to know, but the press new about the firing of Maldini right after the meeting and then Furlani and the AC Milan site announced it the next day. So info is definitely leaking out and Cuntinale is a miserly bitch so....

The bar went viral on fucking Tictok a couple weeks ago, had to get the original post taken down... Nearly a million views in 3 weeks... For a "secret bar" lol.

Then all the crazies came out the woodwork... I've always had an aversion to social media. Fucking strange place it can be.

Regards fitness chicks... My last GF was a PT, so fit, tanned, long dark hair, right body, lots of energy... But Cray Cray as they say.

Our final falling out was because I said I liked her "candour", she said I was a wanker for using fancy words or something... It was odd.

I've dated some stunning girls, but the vain ones I lose interest in very quickly... It's not sexy and just masks issues and insecurities.

Theyre so tight though lol... But I always walk away now.

Anyways... I heard Paolo likes to pleasure 4 girls at once and they always cum!

Daniel's been getting tutoring and watching his dad's educational videos... Daniel's going to be a top shagger!!!

Secret bar? What does that even mean?

So there must be a lot of stunning girls in Scotland, right? I wanted to come for the whiskey, but now I want to cum for the women.

And there it is. We don't know. We don't know nothing and that is what scares me. Fans are upset just like the players. And Gerry must react fast. He is not that stupid. He knows that.

I wonder if any of our primavera players will move to the first team, that would be a good way to not spend.

He was quite a character, as Caligula who made his horse a senator and had sex with his sister. I guess the most brilliant was Marcus Aurelius, a great philosopher. Most of these emperors were poisoned to death and I've been in the island of Capri where on top of a hill stands the villa of Tiberius who was poisoned to death by his grandson Caligula.
Interesting times and I would love to get back in time to see it all. Romans and Italians are not what they used to be. We've been in slump since the Renaissance days of Florence. (I do get carried away with this stuff so I better get off and move on with the day).
Marcus Aurelius was a great leader and man. His meditations give us insight on the fortitude of his mind. Kin to a sage in my interpretation.

Poisoning was ever common in the time, the lust for power is compelling and only the strongest of souls can not be swayed by it's manipulation

Glasgow women are tough. They more likely to headbut you if you disrespect them.

I said it's difficult to know how the press found exactly and who leaked the info. But info is definitely leaking out to the press and insiders. You implied how how would the press know about transfer budget? How did they know about Maldini firing one day before it was officially announced?

Because Maldini buying OG , CDK , Flo , Messias , Diaz & hiring Pirlo was so gonna make us win CL.
Damn you RB stopping us from winning the CL.

Baldie stands for Pioli you dumbfuck
Pioli is bold, not bald. He has hair on his nutsack. Lots of it. Took a lot of balls to get Maldini fired to become the right-hand man.

Can Gerry also sack that prick that leaks our lineups to the press like 4 days before every game?

It’s been going on for years now!

Brighton spent 55m last summer on 6 players.

Enciso looks a steal at 11.5m and scored and played well vs the big teams in the league Estupiñán one of the best LB in the league that was almost 18m.

35m and sales you can get things done if you look in the right places.

Main players openly contest the move! It's a moronic decision made by a moron. Nothing to analyze there.

Why didn't Pioli step down? MM and Ibra made him what he is now? Coz he's a pussy.

Do whatever the f you wanna do in mercato. I don't give a shit. Not gonna waste my nerves on next season. Untill the baseball dilettante fucks off I'm not wasting my nerves on his "moneyball " project.

American morons.

Forza Milan
why would he step down from his most lucrative career opportunity when his boss tied him down with a lengthy contract and then got fired for it?

because of values? what values? pioli has coached inter and lazio before, he has no attachment to either milan or maldini.
