[Fillipo Simone]

New AC Milan coach. I wish him the best, and will try to keep my scepticism as long as possible closed down.

Dida,Kaladze,Favalli,Kalac,Sheva all these players on vast sums of money then the players that have left since the end of the season like Emerson,Senderos major earners apart from Favalli all pretty useless.

Also the acquisition of Flamini in a already packed midfield also on big money when a position was already filled 3 times over in the midfield.

Major major bad running of this club for the last several years...and the lessons haven't been learnt from several key areas such as

1. Calciopoli...Galliani was involved and should have been shown the door when the club was found guilty, the man is incompetent and a liar.

2. The non qualification of last season C.L in which everyone could see in the last game of the previous seasons tournament how slow we were against Arsenal and how little we created and compare this against the absolute hammering we gave Man.Utd a couple of seasons previous.

3. The buying of "toy" players by Berlisconi players such as Ronaldo,Ronaldinho and latest Beckham...turning the club into a worldwide circus more interested in selling shirts than winning games.

4. Related to number 3 is the constant interference by Silvio in formation choice and player selection.

5. The vast amount of €'s invested in the academy and the refusual to play these players even in Coppa games.

All these thing have contributed to a slow decline which ends up in the unthinkable....we have to sell our best players to compensate for the overspending on bad decisions which unless something serious happens will just continue season after season until the fans become like fans from Naples....living on past glories and hoping one day maybe one day it will happen again!

Great post.

But I do think the Flamini deal was a good one.

Ambro and Rino have next season, but the one after that will probably be their last as starters. We need to start thinking about replacing these players.

And you forgot to mention mistakes like the co-ownership deals Galliani seems so fond of. I think we're losing around 10-15m a season on these sorts of deals. Look at what happened with Boriello.

Plus the Gourcuff mistake. Not only did they loan him with an option to buy, but they also couldn't gaurantee him playing time when they tried to convince him to come back!!! I mean what the hell??!!! They knew they were going to sell Kaka, so why in God's name would they tell him that he's not gauranteed a spot in the first 11???!!! Oh right so Seedorf can come on the field every Sunday and jog around for 90 minutes. This thing just leaves me baffled...
