So now you agree that somebody’s “track record” and his past performance is not indicative of future results? Because last year you were 200% on board the Cardinale train and you kept touting his past “accomplishments” outside of football as the reason why you thought he’d be a better owner than Investcorp.
As facts change, your opinion can change. I've been wrong before, I'll be wrong in the future.
I contrasted Cardinale's leadership to Todd Boehly's. Todd literally scrapped everything when he took over, he then fired Tuchel, saying that "it was brewing" and then hired Potter, and he tried to say that it was some sort of orchestrated move. Did you think that Todd Boehly was doing a great job at Chelsea? Did you think he was doing a "fantastic" job by any chance? I didn't.
To me, for the purposes of Milan, I thought by keeping a very good management in place, Cardinale was showing proper leadership, and he obviously has a very strong track record with his investments and work before Milan. The fact that Maldini made demands, and they were seemingly met by Redbird, made me trust his public statements.
I also thought Investcorp were a serious organization, but since Elliott's ownership of Milan was successful, having them involved with Redbird made me inclined towards them over Investcorp. So, I was
not banging the table that Investcorp were evil, just that I thought the pros of Redbird were more in favor than Investcorp, based on the information at hand.
I don't feel the need to hold onto positions stubbornly. I used to be a
very strong supporter of Pioli, but I have become one of his harshest critics.
I'm simply sharing my opinions here. Because I love Milan. I didn't like CDK, but if becomes the next Kaka/Messi hybrid, I'll be the happiest man in the world. If Pioli transforms into Pep and Carlo in one, again, I will be the happiest person.
I don't care about being wrong, because I will be and have been, I just want Milan to win.
