Current AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi revealed that one of his two sons will become the new president of the club, but he has not yet decided who the heir apparent will be.


Berlusconi has officially announced that one of two sons will take over from him as Milan president.

"Milan is an extension of our family," declared Berlusconi on 'Italia 7 Gold'. "I hope that my son becomes president, even though we must decide which one."

With regards to the team, Berlusconi's plan is that of rejuvenating the squad.

"Our project is that of gradually renewing the squad with the purchase of young talents," he explained.

"I think that next year we shall have to make purchases in defence, since Paolo Maldini and Cafu will hang up their boots.

"In midfield and in attack we're fine."

"I once said that Gourcuff is the new Zidane. I hope I wasn't wrong," concluded Berlusconi.

I see this as real good news, the club should remain within the Berlusconi family, instead of going up in the air to the highest bidder. Who could all together be the cause of the clubs downfall.

Then on the future transfer(s) ... It is inevitable that they will bring some fresh new blood. That was never in question!

I think the last part, the one about Gourcuff, I think what he's trying to say is we expected a lot from Gourcuff.

This is the last post I'm going to make here for a while.

I find several of the above comments to be frighteningly biased. Stereotypes such as those depicted above are very dangerous. As a woman - and far from the only one - who has followed Milan for longer than (I am willing to guess) a decent percentage of the people posting here have been alive, I am profoundly insulted by the attitude portrayed by these posts.

There are far more female football supporters out there than most of you seem to realize. Just because you think we don't understand the offside rule or don't understand why someone would cry when their team loses...well, it's your loss. Automatic assumptions that I don't understand the game or management issues facing a club because I don't have dangly bits betrays an arrogance that in the end makes me terribly terribly sad.

It also makes me rather angry. And that's why I am going to hold off on posting for a time. Because, you see, I will happily admit that I hold to at least one stereotype: I'm half-Calabrian. And when a Calabrian gets mad, they get REALLY mad. If I post more than this, I'm likely to say something I will regret.
