The Rumour Commode XLVII: Foamseca is out

[Myalon]

I mean losing to Bodo taken in isolation is bad, but two EL finals in 5 years, two Conference League Finals, three CL semifinalists and a finalist etc.

At first I thought you were talking about Bondo our ghost player .
He is on loan I hope I don't say that we bought him 🫣

 

[Myalon]

The names of sports director Tare worked for Lazio (it remains an average club) a good team without more it does not sell dreams.
I have read its probable successes (Milinkovic in particular and other names I remember it is to say their renowned ...)

If we compare to those of Naples (Kvrakviela in particular, Osimen ...) or that of Atalanta no need to present this club which has been working well for several years.
I prefer to see one of Amico or Sartori if I understood the 1st is Atlanta and the other from Naples.

Atlanta and Naples in terms of transfers over the past 10 years in series A must be the best.
The Atlanta sports model pleases me very much and especially their game.

On YouTube @MatteMoretto : “The intention would be to start again with Leao as the cornerstone of the new cycle. #Milan considers him an asset, unless there are really important offers, around 80 million, Leao will not leave”

 

[rossonero1]

If the management is going for Tare, I hope they wrap it up as soon as possible so we can start planning early. Without the Club World Cup distraction, our players can be fullly rested and we will have more than enough time to gel.

The tricky part is Conceicao, he will most likely get fired but we cannot openly choose/interview candidates while he is still in charge, that would be disrespectful. I think he should finish the season if we beat Inter but if we lose to them, I don't see a reason to keep him unless the coach we are targeting is still managing another club.

If Tare isn’t announced in the next few weeks then it’s not him. No point in wasting all this time to sign him when he’s free and could already start planning for next season.

 

[IL-Capitano]

How about waiting until an SD is officially announced. Who will it be? Who will be coach ? What players stay ? What players leave ? and what players return?

As of right now everyone is in the dark and has no idea what will unfold.

 

[nonsonoqui]

The way I see it, Tare is a perfectly valid candidate for the SD role – experienced, available, and reportedly interested. But he’s not priority number one. Right now, he just happens to be the only credible (and by that I mean competent and up to the task) name on the market who could start tomorrow. That’s what makes him relevant.

Yes, Furlani reportedly had a four-hour meeting with him – but nothing that’s come out since suggests they’re ready to pull the trigger. We’re still stuck in this weird stand-by phase. And if everyone were fully convinced, that deal would be done already.

Which leads me to believe something else is going on – or rather, someone else. Namely Toni D’Amico.

That name didn’t come out of nowhere. Our forum insider, @ACM14061988, mentioned months ago that D’Amico was Furlani’s top choice. It’s an idea the media has sometimes echoed, sometimes ignored – but look at how the last couple of months have played out. The revolving door of supposed frontrunners, conflicting reports, the lack of actual decisions. Viewed through the lens that Furlani has one specific target – and that target is still under contract – it starts to make more sense.

Because if D’Amico (or Sartori!) had made it clear weeks ago that he’s staying at Atalanta next season, and had no interest in leaving, the club would’ve moved on. Tare would probably already be in place. But they haven’t. Which suggests there’s more to this story than we’re being told.

Tare always seemed more like a Zlatan guy than a Furlani one anyway. Furlani may respect him, maybe even like him, but his priorities seem to lie elsewhere. With directors who are still tied to clubs – D’Amico above all, maybe even Sartori.

As long as Atalanta and Bologna are competing on multiple fronts, no one will leak anything. No one will say D’Amico is leaving. Everyone wants calm, especially at a club still in the hunt for trophies. But that silence doesn’t mean nothing’s happening. On the contrary – I believe there’s already a framework in place behind the scenes. Just not one the press is in on.

The media keeps describing chaos – a circus, confusion, ten names in rotation. But if Furlani has quietly had one name in mind all along, and is simply waiting for the right moment, then this waiting game starts to look a lot more calculated.

Bottom line: if no decision is made in the next few days, it probably means we’re holding out for a solution that’s currently still under contract. And that means there are already deeper understandings in place than the public narrative would suggest.

I wonder if we have the cachet currently to entice D’Amico. Furlani certainly doesn’t.

But there may be something to what you’re saying.

The charitable read of all this is Redbird/Furlani want to redeem themselves and land someone like D’Amico.

The SD figure is fundamental. Not just for the market but for pre and post match interviews, player management off the pitch etc. If Furlani doesn’t want to flash his canines in front of the camera as much, he’ll need a SD.

What I don’t get is this casting. Do we have a plan if we’re looking at all Italian SDs with a pulse? Is D’Amico’s philosophy the same as Tare’s? Is the recruitment of a SD being done perfunctorily?

Maybe this management has a grand plan like you describe, but recent history has suggested otherwise. That is, often we end up with the worst or one better than the worst option.

Giving Carlo this squad is like giving Michael Schumacher a go kart and expecting him to win Monaco GP.

That's the thing, Schumacher would never accept, same goes for Ancelotti

 

[Curupira]

And fans who start petitions or propagate #FonsecaOut even before taking over the job.

To be fair they did same with Pioli, even made it trending on Twitter

 

[Curupira]

He only has contract until the summer no? He’s trying to prove himself for that extension.

 

[Curupira]

They are Italian and can lend credibility to projects, but at the same time won’t go on TV to ask for money.

Better execution, pretty much the same vision.

When Carlo took over Milan it wasn't seen as him taking over a "dream team" or anything like that, I think the shit Carlo gets for what he won with that team to be odd not only because of the small issue of Calciopoli (that as a legal fact was used by Juve and Inter, by far) yes he got Nesta, and that was huge, but I don't think people expected him to turn the team around as fast as he did, especially with the stink of that late 90's malaise still hanging over the team.

I'm not particularly vested in the Carlo debate, but the vitriol he gets is weird to me.

What I said here 3 years still stands here.

The revisionist is insane lol. And I’m saying this as someone who watched Carlo ball at his peak and not before he came to know exactly how bad the slump was before he came

 

[Cloren]

Carlo
Paolo
Sandro
Daniel
Let's go

Don’t care about the rest

But I want Carlo here !

Some still don't want to accept that we are operating at a lower level.

This ManU has just 3 wins in 10 matches in EPL.

Imagine people still defending Fonsecca.

 

[Ashish]

Carlo ancelotti has as many scudetto as pioli when choker was backed by galliani and Moggi for decade.

That guy cost us at least 2 cls and a scudetti.

Galliani stupid to handover such a squad to a novice. Not even a double for us.

Fergie got 2 trebles damn

When the good Lord distributed the brains, you were unfortunately also absent.

Giving Carlo this squad is like giving Michael Schumacher a go kart and expecting him to win Monaco GP.

Current Milan is not a gokart
A Haas maybe.

This squad is decent,
But dysfunctional at the moment.

We need a “young Ancelotti”
Not this Ancelotti

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

To be fair , Lyon were playing with 10 players since 89th minute .

If you do not have enough space in the bag , for a half size you can have Furlani .

Not really..got the chance to randomly talk to a member from the Curva Sud when i attended the Milan-Inter Coppa game 2 weeks ago.
From what he told me ..i tottaly get and understand them. Yes im not for what they do outside the stadium..but thats their personal life and there are people who should take care of it (talking about the drugs, women, fights etc)..
They got banned from introducing flags, banners..etc..something that its basically their identity for no reason...and on top of that what annoys them is the fact that our management dosent even care to help them in this case...which is really dumb.

Ive been to the last 2 derbies..Serie A + Coppa (which were also my first ones live in SS) and im probably the unluckies person..being the first derbies without coreography..and crazy scenes.
Yes they should be next to the team no matter what..but half of their identity is stolen..and i get their "protest"

The main reason why the club has to be careful in its dialog and support of the Curva.

 

[Berlusconi]

Not really giving him vitriol.
On the basis of what he can achieve with a good to great side, we've seen what he can do. He can do well or he can suck badly. With him it's about 80:20 on that front. This is even counting the 38:62 which he achieved in those 8 years with Milan.

But if we're adding in the current Milan to the formula, given how well he coached a similarly poorly built side in Everton, then his chances of succeeding go down to around 20:80. As in 20% chance he does okay, and 80% chance this team blows up in his face.

Pickford during that 2nd year in everton was responsible for like 13 points that season due to his goalkeeping mistakes and they were 10 points from 3rd.

You can't count Osimhen as a unknown find, he cost napoli 70-80Million, even I can find you a star striker at that price

 

[Rockstar]

Parlo will go down in history as one of the most overrated coaches. The guy barely win national league titles while having top 3-5 teams in history of football. But Pep is also there for CL

And then you have Fergie dominating EPL 2006-2012 (aka best league of all time)

I think Amorim only has 5 wins in 26 games in EPL

Did I read this correctly? We will build a whole new squad with Leao as focal point, the most important asset of the new Milan that must introduce a new era of champagne football and that will bring us back to the top where we belong.... but for 80M you can have him
Can't make this shit up
