Should Silvio Berlusconi sell the club? would you mind owners like man city have?

Well, IMO their staying gave the management the needed and necessary time. It gave them time to deal with the AM/creative solutions now, and delayed the Dm problem for a bit. Granted, this is a risky job and both Ambro and Rino are in decline, but I still have faith and believe they can hold on. If we manage to solve the creative problem this summer and in January, it will look more brighter and we'll have a whole summer to lament whether Lass Diarra is more suitable then Asamoah etc.

Also, our management isn't prepared to let go of all veterans at once. I think they found a solution to the "veteran problem" last year and will hang on to it as long as they can. Whereas in 2008. or 2009. Milan had a big age issue and the "veteran problem" was immanent, it think we're now safe and sound. I still think that Ambro and Rino have something to offer; will they start matches? Sure, but I'm positive Allegri will bench both if the under perform while at the same time Urby or Flamini do substantially better.

Albeit this summer offers us a chance to pick up a okay/good DM (Lass) for cheap money, I am not convinced we'll found in him what we had with Rino or Ambro at their peak. People are generally more sensitive when it comes to replacing players like Pirlo, Sheva or even Nesta, but are willing to see the DM position as a position that can easily be filled with "just another solid DM". But IMO Flamini proved how rare a quality DM of Rino's or Ambro's caliber shows up. While he did decent in his last season from time to time, he did not convince me a second as a heir or a natural starter solution.

So, my punchline is - now we're dealing with the problem of a creative player, afterwards with the DM problem.
I know we could have avoided it with keeping Pirlo and letting Ambro+Rino go, but our management decided to pick the easy way.

Rino and Ambro's quality has been gone a long time, so we've been playing with them starting for at least 2 seasons now with them under-performing. Last season mostly, Rino on the right was like having a little kid running around with no aim,. Quality DMs are easier to find then say, FBs, Flamini might not have turned out as we've expected but I'd rather see him starting then either Rino or Ambro. We simply cannot continue this way, especially not in Europe where they get exposed for what they are every time.

With Seedorf staying, at least one of Rino or Ambro should have been let go. I really don't see what they have left to offer, and personally I don't think this is the last season for them at Milan.
