We see a lot of teams with revolutions every year that yields no tangible results for them in what they are pursuing, but we are no Real Madrid neither are we Genoa. This team needs to be built from new in a lot of ways. From new players, to new medical staff and new managerial infrastructure (under the supervision of Galliani and co unless Berlu is planing to sell). The time has come. No more Ronaldinho's or Cassano's. We need real character, real determination and a real squad.

I have to be honest, I have enjoyed watching Milan win league games this season, but I have not truly enjoyed this team in a long while. At the moment, we are a paper tiger. It is a shame that Ibra dictates the attitude on the pitch. He should shut the **** up and be the great forward that he is and shove all of the rest of his ****y attitude up his *** and be happy that a team like Milan will have him. We are so desperate to win that we are willing to suck this guys **** and let him be a role model for other players. When he obviously is not. Even when he scores and we win, I am happy that Milan win, and can admire Ibra's magic football, but other than that, he has nothing over any other player we have. I truly feel bad for Pato here. He is a kid and I bet he is a bit confused as to how he should act and conduct himself right now. Why the rant about Ibra in this thread? You might think I'm losing train of thought, but no, this is exactly why we need a revolution in this team. Patching up this team with mediocre players and relying on Ibra magic is a weak approach. My point is that by us failing to deal with our needs as a club head-on we find ourselves in a situation that I never thought I would see Milan in. Look at the players running the show now: Gattuso (Maldini used to put him in his place like no other), Ibra, Boatang, Flamini, Cassano, Van Bommel.... These players are running around like loose canons acting like big shots in our team right now and trust me Cassano's time will come and I think we ALL know that. If it is like this then I will slowly reconsider Milan. Yes, this is that serious. Either we revolutionize this team according to our objectives and principles, or Milan will lose the prestige it once held, not just as a club with a tremendous past and silverware cabinet, but the actual show of sport and grit and character of its players, their integrity to a greater human cause or at least their understanding and respect to this notion.

We are losing the integrity of our club out of desperation to win with a make shift squad and this is a first for me to witness as a Milan fan. At least when we lost before, it was that, a loss, usually heavy and bitter. But never to the point of ridicule and at the cost of our very identity. A revolution of all sorts should be under way if we are to rediscover what we stand for and even go beyond.

So not only should this revolution reinforce the team in many areas we lack, it should also reaffirm us as a club and shine a light on our path. The path of a great team with great leaders. A team that not only managed to win a lot and bring in the fans, but a team that also gained the respect of others. A team that acted with class in Puerta's tragic case and showed great pride in the way they took to the field. Because such is the way of Red and Black and it is why I am a Milan fan.

Though I have to admit I was emotional following Milan's defeat to Tottenham and Gattuso's inexcusable antics, the fact remains that I personally want this team to buy like it used to, solid, reliable players with true champions as club symbols.

But I like to stay reasonable and acknowledge that that will probably not happen any time soon with the global financial situation and it's OK. I'm still proud of this Milan team. Forza Rossoneri!
