Allegri: 'I don't feel at risk'
By Football Italia staff

Massimiliano Allegri sniped “some couldn’t wait for us to lose,” but insists his job is not on the line as speculation grows Milan will fire him if he fails to win the Scudetto.

The last week has been disastrous for the Rossoneri, who dropped a four-point lead to fall behind Juventus in the Serie A table and were knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona.

“I absolutely do not feel at risk,” insisted Allegri after the 2-1 home defeat to Fiorentina.

“Certain evaluations are down to the club and will only be made at the end of the season. I prefer to concentrate on what we have to do right now.”

President Silvio Berlusconi was critical of Allegri’s approach during the two legs against Barcelona, fuelling speculation failure to win the Scudetto will result in a new Coach.

“We all have to live it day by day, game by game, because too many calculations have been made over the past few days.

“There are still seven rounds to go. Everyone said Juve had a great chance of winning the Scudetto when they were behind us, so I don’t see why we shouldn’t in the same position.”

Allegri also sniped at the media and chasing pack after the shock 2-1 home defeat to Fiorentina, which saw Milan go in front with a very dubious penalty.

“I realised that many, let’s say the vast majority, couldn’t wait for Milan to lose. There, it happened. Now we will move forward.

“Nobody expected this defeat, not even us, but we have the character to get back on our feet. It can happen in a season. Don’t forget we had a long run-up to go four points clear of Juve, so you do pay for this strain. It’s not over yet, though.”

La Gazzetta dello Sport is already speculating on potential replacements for Allegri, including Marco van Basten, Marcello Lippi, Fabio Capello and the promotion of Clarence Seedorf.

It's not only about the players, peeps, but mainly about the ideas. If Galliani offered to Allegri the chance to choose between Eriksen and Asamoah, for example, who do you think he'd go for? He loves bulky players and runners, and he doesn't know how to manage classy players. We went from the Milan of ball possession and flashy performances to the Milan of counterattacks and long balls. We're not Cagliari for crying out load! Allegri has this philosophy of football that is the total opposite of what Milan stands for as according to Berlusconi and his vision since he acquired the club.

But didn't Galliani and Berlusconi both decide Allegri was the right man for the job?

Personally I'd love to see us playing the most beautiful football in the world, but when Galliani has to go looking for the cheapest players or players looking for a way out of their clubs this will never happen. We need to start buying top quality players that will actually cost money, and unless Berlusconi actually wants to splash the cash then we'd better get used to Allegri's style of play.

Galliani: "Unlike with previous coaches, me and Allegri decide together. We sit on a table and evaluate all the possibilities available".

That's what Galliani said some time ago. That shithead of a coach has a big say in our signings. If Galliani told him "Muntari is available on loan, what do you think?", Allegri wouldn't hesitate twice to give him the green light. And if we had more money at disposal, he would go for Asamoah instead, who's like Muntari but 10x better. That's the kind of players he likes. No wonder he replaced Pirlo with van Bommel, and our trequartista's are Boateng and Emanuelson. F@cking disgrace!

Didn't Pirlo want a three year deal, while we offered him a one year deal?(like we do with all over 30's)

And I can't see how Allegri has much of a say in our signings, if he did then he's surely got to be the first manager in a long time to be able to do that. Remember the players Leonardo wanted, but he didn't get any as they cost too much! Look at who we signed - Muntari, cost nothing and we actually got 2.5m from merda for him. Urby 1.5m. Ibra 24m over three seasons. Not sure about prince but I doubt it was much. These are all Galliani type cheap deals that keep costs down.

And hasn't Van Bommel been a revelation? He's been one of the resons we've done so well IMO.

And we could have easily offered him a three-year deal if Allegri wanted to. That was just a poor excuse for them to get him the f@ck outta here.

Those are the words from Galliani himself. Him and Allegri decide together.

Not an excuse. We signed these players because Allegri gave the green light. A coach wouldn't approve of players he wouldn't have a need for. As good as he is, Galliani could have looked elsewhere and signed someone more suitable to our case.

And hasn't Van Bommel been a revelation? He's been one of the reasons we've done so well IMO.

I'm not talking about the quality of the player. No doubt van Bommel has been great for us. But he also proves what I've been saying, which is that Allegri prefers muscly players to creative ones.

On 6m a season? Let's be serious, he didn't play much in his final season and we won the title. And when he did all he seemed to do was launch long bombs to the forward players. I don't think he was worth keeping.
