Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is unflustered by recent criticism of the Rossoneri and says that the detractors will be proved wrong once again.

The European Champions have drawn their last three league games and are already starting to lag behind the early pace-setters. On Saturday Milan could only manage a hugely disappointing draw at home to Parma, while the week before a 90th minute Alessandro Nesta goal was required to salvage a point at lowly Siena. 

This has led to various accusations, including claims that Milan are not taking the Scudetto-race seriously and only have intentions of fighting for the Champions League. The Rossoneri have also been branded as too old and unable to compete on both a domestic and European front. 

“I am absolutely calm with all of this,” said Galliani. “We have a great manager and the best players.” 

“We are used to these types of criticism. It has always been the same but at the end of every season our critics have always ended up eating their words.” 

Milan travel to Sicily on Wednesday for a tough match against Palermo at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.

I admit that Milan 9 times out of 10 have a succesful season. But I'm not sure Galliani is understanding something. The fans (At least the people I know) aren't saying we won't win anything, they're just disappointed that we aren't competing in Europe AND the league, last season was the same. Yes, we won the European Cup, but were over 30 points off the title.

...at the end of every season our critics have always ended up eating their words.

if ending several season without a trophy is considered successfull then i dont know which planet he is from.

the critics are talking about our revolve in serie a. 1 scudetto in 8 years... this criticism doesnt come from nowhere.

btw galliani is being investigated regarding accounting fraud, apparently he's been inflating certain figures (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) surprise surprise...

Yes, Galliani's being investigated, but the Merda are in worse trouble. If the allegations against them are correct, they will have not met solvency requirements for competition in Serie A for two years. That's...very bad.
