Yup, we miss Monto...

[Linkman]

So what's next?

Pippo gets sacked: who's the next club legend for us to defile? Paolo? Costacurta? Will we force Kaká into retirement and have him coach like we did Seedorf?

It's sort of like Survivor here.

Since January, I havent watched a single match of Milan. mainly because I know i would want to smash my TV cos of Menez. Its not only Pippo to blame, if Menez knew how to pass we would be in a better position.

On top of that Allegri won the Serie A title (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif)

Apparently De Sciglio's red card was the fastest in Serie A's history.

[Fillipo Simone]

Also undeserved, but well.

Undeserved? It was a deserved red card if I've ever seen one. Blatant foul, tackle from behind, with Hamsik in front of goal.

Think yellow would have sufficed. The tackle missed the ball and MDS wasn't the last men there.

[X-Offender]

You could say it was harsh because it was barely a minute in the game, but you can't say it was undeserved.

Didn't need to be - goalscoring opportunity.

Blatant penalty and red card.

Them's the rules. You no longer have to be the last man.

Pippo was today confirmed till the end of the season.

I'm literally left with nothing to say.

Right now the soul of this club is absolutely dead.

The sole redeeming aspects of this season are avoiding relegation, and Diego Lopez.

I don't expect us to ever get back to the 'Seedorf' Milan as it were, but we are so far off even contending for 5-10th in the table.

btw @Han - you were spot on about Destro. That signing hasn't worked out, and though I think you were harsh in criticism of his ability, your main point was about our inability to make chances. In a better team he'd thrive, we're making him look absolutely horrible.

Re; Destro, yes I was harsh, I'm personally not a fan of that type of striker to begin with, add to that the fact that we're a sterile team who struggle to create scoring opportunities and it was a clear recipe for failure.

However, I do concede that he has impressed me with the scraps he's been having to live off of. He works his @ss off and when he does get a sniff of goal he always makes sure that he uses it well. Which is a lot more than can be said of others like Menez who are more concerned with personal glory

Pippo was today confirmed till the end of the season.

Pointless to remove him at this point, we can't get relegated, we can't make it into Europe. Let's just finish the season out and not tarnish Pippo even more by dismissing him while the season is still on-going.

FYI Ibra has reportedly stated he'd come back to Milan under new ownership.

Oh absolutely, I can see the glimpses of quality when the guy gets the occasional scrap. I really like him and think he'd be a great player in a better Milan. But is there anything more infuriating when he gets taken off for Pazzo?

Oh he's tarnishing himself better than anything the club could do.

Still, Roma imo want too much for him, if he was valued at a better price I'd say he'd be a good investment for a better Milan as he would be prolific in a team that creates more

Sure, Pippo has been a nightmare, his comments in the press have been embarrassing and for me, I feel like he's out of touch with reality, especially the comments about how he'd like to stay on for next season

But in terms of firing him during the season, with barely a handful of games to go is pointless

[Danny]

Yeah, even I don't see the point firing him. But I do find his invulnerability to public criticism from the club hypocritical given how Barbara essentially publicly fired Allegri. Pippo seems to get away with more given who he is.

As for Destro, given Tevez cost Juve £12M but he's a lot older then I'd agree £15M or whatever it is for Destro is a tad much. But young Italian internationals cost more than they're technically worth, just like young Spaniards and English players.

Immobile, who I understand you like, cost Dortmund £15.5M. That, for either he or Destro, is a tad high. But that IS the going rate for such players.

We got £16M for the pile of crap that is Balo FFS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
