Milan14Legend recently made a comment in another thread that if Kaka left, he would no longer support Milan until B&G were gone. It got me to thinking, do any of you feel the same way?

If Kaka goes, would you boycott Milan and instead just root for your favorite players until there was a management change? Or are you of the belief that no player is bigger than the club and that we'll survive?

I've included a poll, so feel free to explain your choice. All I ask is that it's kept relatively short and sweet; we don't need yet another thread full of long, winded diatribes. Thanks.

Its very hard to stop supporting a club that you've adored from day one. But With B&G on board we have just proved how pathetic we have become. I can understand Sheva's sale, he requested it. But thats not the case for Kaka.

If he is sold to ManCity, im not going to support this club untill and unless B&G leave. You dont kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

I didn't realize the thread would be active while I was working on the poll. Anyway, it'll be open for thirty days, even though this saga may not last much longer as Kaka's D-Day approaches.

I voted for the "No" option, but not because Milan is a business. It never will. I voted "No" because it is after all the team I love. I hope it will right all wrongs one day.

With B&G in management, we cant rely on hope for anything good to happen...:head:

Even if Kaka leaves, I'll still support Milan. I too want Kaka to stay, but that doesn't mean I'll boycott the club. Football is like that, sometimes dumb asses lead the club into shitty situations...

This transfer-saga got me thinking. I was the one trying to convince some here this might happen and it wouldn't be such a bad thing for the club overall. Now that it can come reality it hit me pretty hard so I decided if it goes through I'll watch Maldini's career to the end and then go to some rehab program to get less attatched to football. Probably leave the forum too. Though I doubt I can get it out of my veins totally.

I started supporting Milan for the simple reason that they had Cafu, Dida, and especially Kaka' in the team. I started supporting the club for those reasons, but it was the club overall which made me love this team and start being a Milanista.

Kaka', as I said before, for the time being is Milan. But Kaka' isn't bigger than Milan.

Boycotting just isn't an option, not for me at least.Milan comes first, something I have no doubt about.

It sucks that we've reached a level were we even consider this(Boycotting), but seriously I can't blame no one.

Hope he stays, the idea of him crying broke me apart, but leaving? Oh Shit!

I will go on my own strike for a period until I miss football. Kaka is Milan itself, I really can't imagine Milan playing without him. So sad than we have to discuss about this issue, it's nothing official yet, our "menagment" didn't say nothing yet, hopes he stay for life here.

I think it's all a bit of an overreaction, Kakà hasn't left yet has he ?
He was supposed to be close to Madrid, Chelsea,... too but look where he is now.
We will just wait and see how this develops and my bet is it will end with : 'Kakà stays with AC Milan' and 'Shity are a shitclub'.
Even with all the offers, Kakà would be a real dumbass to leave now, Shity are just above relegation so if he goes I hope he get's injured for 6 months and they drop to the second league in Shitland;)

feel the same...it's not just our favourite player that we'll lose...it's everything we held sacred and everything that made Milan special will be brought to nothing

I hate to say this, but if you stop supporting your team because a particular player leaves, this doesn't make you a good supporter. I speak from experience; as a Manchester City supporter I have stuck with the club through thick and thin, I actually started supporting us 11 years ago, when we were in the 3rd tier of English football (Today's League One). I'm sure that if Kaka leaves you, you will sign someone quality to replace him. You are one of the biggest teams in the world and I'm sure that if Kaka goes, a lot of stars on the world stage would want to join you to become the focal point of your team which Kaka is/was.

Kaka leaving has nothing to do with the club. I'll stay a fan because there's nothing I can do to change that. B&G can do whatever they want, they can sell all the players, pack up and go to some remote island, and Milan will still be my club. Would you root for Inter if we sell Kaka? Or maybe Barcelona? I may like other clubs, but you love one, regardless of it's performance, stance on some matters, financial power and stature.

That said, if Kaka is sold, my faith in the current management will be gone forever. Probably will pray that the day comes B. sells the team.

I can't believe how people would stop supporting Milan just because their favorite player left.
Players come and go, but Milan will be forever. Presidents come and go, but the team name will stay so.
Whoever would stop supporting Milan, is a gloryhunter to me.

Milan for the rest of the Life ! :star:

i voted no. as you said Beemer no one is above milan. players come and go but milan is always there. sheva's transfer taught me there's no loyalty in modern football except for maldini and that's why we all love him so much. if kaka goes my heart will be crushed and i will be depressed for days. i don't hate him or other milan players only our management for being money grabbers. this one is diffrent from sheva's little sightseeing of london. this time player wants to stay and pledges his future to milan but club is forcing him to go. atm kaka's transfer to shitty looks inevitable and if it really happens as long as i'm alive i will never forgive galliani and berlusconi for this one.

I have supported the team long before Ricky and I will continue supporting it.

I think what makes a lot of the fans disgusted is the way all of this has been handeled because Ac Milan had other principles from the likes of Barca, Real, Inter, Juve and with this it won't make us different than the others.

Let me ask you a question.....suppose Berlu got this crazy idea to sell the ENTIRE first team....Maldini included....and ManShitty decided to buy the majority of our start including Abbiatti, Maldini, Zambrotta, Bonera, Clarence, Andrea, Flamini, $hitvac, Pato and Borriello....would you still support Milan....I know it's a F**KING ridiculous scenario....but just stay with me on this one....would you still support Milan??

I've said it before. You support the club, not the players.
I also resent my club being referred to as that.

I`m gonna support Milan even if we play in serie C,its just that simple. If u even consider not to support Milan cause a player is leaving,or that ur not content whit how the management is running the club then u can`t call ur self a Milan fan.

I don`t support Milan because of the management or a certain player,i support it because of what it represents for me:greatness,glory etc

I would have voted in the poll no if it dident have this part : In the end, it's a business and no one is above the club."

Well I will still support AC Milan and I don't really mind selling kaka if it gurantees us more victory. I support Milan long before Kaka join the team. With or without Kaka doesn't make any difference to me. I have faith in Milan

I'm assuming most of you have already bought this season's shirt if your going to, so what exactly will your boycott entail? Not watching streams, or visiting the official site? I don't mean to offend anyone by this, but what effect do you suppose the majority of members of these boards "boycotting" the club would have? Sure, you can express support for whatever action the ultras take, because those boys hold serious power and influence, and their presence would be missed - would yours be noticed?

Beemer, I'm sorry if that qualifies as a long winded diatribe :)

I'd be out of my mind, that's for sure, but when it comes to supporting, nothing will change. Hell, if I've come to like Favalli and Pancaro, I'll come to like any John Doe that represents the team.

I'm not saying that players aren't important, because they are. You fall in love with a club for a number of reasons, players among those reasons. However, players come and go. The reason why I am against this transfer is because players like Kaka don't come in too often to just let them go. We made the same mistake with Shevchenko.

I'll never stop supporting Milan no matter who comes or goes.
But I will be disgusted with the current management and I'll be waiting eagerly for the day of their resignation/departure.
