Believe or not, I’m not particularly Pro-Fonseca either. He wouldn’t have been my coach if I was tasked to select a coach to replace Pioli. But one has to be realistic about expectations in relation to asked upon task when considering what he has to work with. Totally agree about the management though.
They are not really fantasisti, especially Vlachovic, Chiesa somewhat maybe. I am more thinking Balotelli, Ibra, Cossu ... Allegri doesn't mind to be a bit laissez-faire in attack and leave it to players with the right characteristics to direct the attack.
This defies logic, at least in my mind. So, in the derby against Inter.. that was the best Milan has performed against them in a long time, and I’m talking about how they played.. not the final score, do you agree with me on that?
Then said players should’ve asked to be sold? If they’re not invested in the project, everyone loses.
My choices would be Sarri, Xavi, Conceicao, Terzic, Allegri in that order. I feel like Allegri wouldn't change much. Bigger chance he flounders than recreate his Juve success.
Define “beautiful football”? Is it lots of dribbling, 1v1’s? Is it short passes & combinations? Is it high paced or slow and meticulous? I would not define Pep’s style as beautiful but I would say it’s dominant and risk adverse and to win like that requires as many have pointed out players that are smart, committed and skilled enough in every position and those are expensive if they aren’t developed internally through the youth sector (La Masia), which obviously isn’t done in 4 months.
Very well put
To make the top 4.
We are not making top 4 this season, unless italy get another 5th spot. Anyway our bastard yankees owner need an expensive lesson for their penny pinching approach
Eh, they might want to stay and compete for titles at Milan, instead of aiming for 4th with a donkey as their manager.
Pioli shit the bed against Merda and wasn't even in contention to win ANYTHING.
Tonali ain't coming back until his contract with Newcastle runs out. which is in....*checks notes*... ah yes, 2028.

At this point, I'd rather Napoli win another Scudetto over any of the other contenders. Can't stand another summer of Ladri or Merda fans celebrating.
Isn’t hiring a new manager to implement a new brand of football, the project? Fonseca was hired officially on July 1 so every player had 2 months to hand in a transfer request.
I think those decisions to sell players were made above his head. And not as the preseason went along. I think Adli was informed right at the beginning he would be offered around. And I think that had to do with the remaining term on their contracts. Same with Kalulu and Saelemaekers, either renew or sell, and neither were making an impact. So their cycle was up, financially, so to speak.
