[Rossoneri7]

Let us all hope for a fruitful transfer campaign and then, I think the merda have had enough fun already, it's time to take business into our own hands (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

He won't go. Not till 2010, or after he's failed with club post heavy investment(whether it's this season or the next, I don't know).

There's just no way the club would have kept on a coach who finished 5th, unless they knew it wasn't his fault at all. In this case, they're right, he's been overachieving for 2 seasons, with a depleted squad. So now he's into his probation period, but the club shall invest some money. I think Carlo to keep his job, will need to win a trophy...either the UEFA cup and finish second in the league (not behind Inter), or the scudetto and enter the last 8/4 of the UEFA cup (depends on how much the club wants to make a statement). Of course he might even win the double, if given enough players. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If he doesn't I think he will leave. Milan doesn't keep coaches for this long, never have. It was just that Carlo fit the club too well, and they had no excuses at all to remove him. But perhaps out of respect, they'll let him resign instead of terminating his contract.

And then out of respect Carlo will probably not coach in Italy again (unless it's for Roma or the Azzuri). Chelsea sounds good. It would be a match made in heaven.

1.Carlo's record against English sides.
2. His ability to do amazing stuff with world class players.
3. His football is usually good to watch. WIth Ten Cate as coach, it will be interesting.
4. Previous experience in dealing with ambitious owners. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
5. Unquestioned european pedigree.
6. He doesn't ask for a 100 million pounds every season, to win something.

It goes on and on.

As for Milan, I would think, one of either Frankie, Marco, or Franco will come in.

Rijkaard seems the favourite. Marco it will depend on how well he does between now and 2010/11. Baresi...I'm not sure. The last person we elevated from the youth team to coach the seniors on a permanent basis was Capello, and that worked out like a charm. Plus he's Italian.

This of course, assuming Milan do give a higher priority to have ex-players coach them.

You can't say though. Mourinho might have been fired again, coz Moratti is too dumb.
