Well done, I couldn't agree more.

But it's falling on deaf ears (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

p.s. This is Paolo Maldini someone who has given blood for Milan, over 20 years of sacrifice on the pitch and the one whom witnessed the team rack up on several trophies (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

totally agree with you Warchant...(does remind me a little of what goes on here tho (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) )

boy i'm gonna get crucified for that!

Worst thing that can happen to a club is to destroy its relationships with fans (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I dont know, I'd like FDL to come back !!

Fossa had a lot of problems with our directors and even with Berlusconi.

but atleast they supported the team better. all the games i can never hear the fans except for the final last season ...

The truth is the only time I noticed the fans was in the Man U match. I actually thought maybe you know calciopoli and the Sheva departure had knocked the stuffing out of them. I didn't know that there was all this politics going on for more rights etc.

I didn't know FDL was disbanded for internal issues. I thought it was that whole matter of the banner with the Juve ultras.

It's definatly the lack of signings. I mean when you look at our team, we have world class everywhere. We have a few problems, which should have been solved in the summer such as a proper foreward signing, a world class CB signing and a proper goal keeper signing. Instead we get a 31 year old emerson who isn't all that needed and pato who isn't even available right now. I can understand why the fans are upset. Its not the players were upset with except gila, but more galliani and the management for not spending 80 million+ properly.

Barca: who didn't win anything important bought so many class players, while the european champions can't even afford to sign a proper foreward. This really angers me inside. Galliani is so cheap, that he isn't willing to spend money properly.

That's what I thought

But again, they bought seasonal tickets more than the last few seasons I think, so they showed they wanna attand matches...

but why they dont support and sing? I dont know, maybe there are too many family supporters like Parents and a kid (which we know we cant expect anything from them (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) )

I think a lot of it is politics: banners, ticket prices, other 'perks' the Ultras want, etc etc etc. The lack of multiple name signings is probably part of it, but remember: Milan isn't Chelsea or Madrid, where many big names come in each year. At Milan, it's usually one or two a year and often not big names.

(The subtitle in the Gazzetta article is 'trouble with the ultras').

EDIT:

Here's part of an article explaining what's going on and why(link):

[Quick translation: The curva is silent because of threats. The bosses of the curva are keeping others silent due to threats and because the people doing the threatening are already under investigation for murder and other serious crimes, it isn't a laughing matter. The Milan police have undercover people throughout the stadium on game days, but it is a difficult and complex matter.

Since last May, not long before the CL final, Adriano Galliani has been the subject of serious threats and the Interior Ministry has assigned him 24/7 guard. The bosses of the Curva Sud expect from Milan what Milan cannot give: tickets and other favors to be doled out to the other tifosi. This (what the bosses want) is illegal and violation of the Amati decree, which became law after the tragedy in Catania in February. Tickets have to be sold to individuals who have to provide ID. To give tickets to the curva bosses to sell - at inflated prices - is illegal and would be prosecuted.]

Yes it would be nice to have loud fans cheering us on, but not if it comes at the cost of caving in to people who make threats etc.

I think the club is doing the right thing.

AL LAVORO - Il silenzio di San Siro, di tutto San Siro, è figlio delle minacce. Questo è un fatto acclarato. I cosiddetti padroni della curva Sud impediscono agli altri di fare il tifo e, siccome si sta parlando di persone che hanno già ricevuto avvisi di garanzia per tentato omicidio e altri reati, c’è ben poco da scherzare. La questura di Milano, che sta lavorando a pieno ritmo su questa faccenda che puzza di criminalità ordinaria e organizzata, ha piazzato agenti in borghese, in curva, durante le partite interne del Milan. Ancora, tuttavia, non si è arrivati alla conclusione delle indagini che, lo dicono espressamente i dirigenti della questura, è difficile e complessa.
LA SCORTA - Dalla metà di maggio, cioè da poco prima prima della finale di Champions League di Atene, anche Adriano Galliani è oggetto di pesanti minacce e il ministero dell’Interno gli ha assegnato una scorta ventiquattr’ore su ventiquattro. I boss della curva Sud pretendono dalla società ciò che la società non può dare: biglietti e altri favori da gestire direttamente con gli altri tifosi. Tutto ciò è in contrasto con la legge e con il decreto Amato, emesso dopo i tragici fatti di Catania del febbraio scorso. I biglietti, infatti, adesso sono nominali e, per quanto ci possano essere negligenze nei controlli, i club o le società che gestiscono la vendita possono cederli soltanto se viene presentato un documento d’identità. In caso contrario, cioè se dessero un quantitativo di tagliandi in mano ai tifosi affinché fossero loro a distribuirli (ovviamente a prezzi maggiorati), sarebbero perseguibili penalmente.

He is right to attack the Ultras like that, when you are at the matches you must act like a supporter and aim to give everyone a lift, even to people like Brocchi and Kaladze

When you are an a forum like this, with next to no chance of boos affecting the game it alright to bash any and everyone

It looks like the appeals worked.


[After the appeals of Paolo Maldini, Carlo Ancelotti and Adriano Galliani, the Curva Sud, a communication from the Brigate Rossonere (the largest successor group to FdL) has announced that tonight they'll return to supporting the team at San Siro against Parma.]

Il Milan ritrova i suoi tifosi. Dopo gli appelli di Paolo Maldini, Carlo Ancelotti e Adriano Galliani, la curva Sud, attraverso un cominicato delle Brigate Rossonere, ha annunciato che da questa sera riprenderà a sostenere la squadra nella partita di San Siro contro il Parma (ore 20.30).

EDIT:

HERE is the Brigate Rossonere homepage. The text is an image and I can't easily cut/paste, but the statement basically says that their protest isn't against the players or the team but against certain provisions of the Amato decree (the one passed after the Catania tragedy.) They're also going to return to cheering, etc, this afternoon.
