Galliani's release clause is pretty high, though, I keep reading. 75M or something. Unless it's the man himself who backs out, I don't think we'll ever going to finally see his back.

Doesn't he have a contract? And if that's the case wouldn't that have an end date?

Don't know, as long as it was just Silvio running things I would have thought the same. But I doubt Bee and the banks backing him want to see nearly a 100m each summer being thrown down the drain to keep Galliani's buddies and agents circle happy. (Sabatini, Preziosi, Raiola, etc)

I think even Berlusconi will stop backing Galliani this season. But the thing is much more complicated I fear.

I think even Berlusconi will stop backing Galliani this season. But the thing is much more complicated I fear.

We'll see, this season will most likely end up turning into another waiting game for us. Hoping that something changes.

What I think will be a major factor and what could sway things in the direction we want, is all the money spent this summer. In the past nothing was spent, so it was easy to brush things aside and paint Galliani as the victim of the system at Milan. This summer he was 100% backed financially by Silvio, and not only that all the players aside from Romagnoli were his choices. He was basically given carte blanche to do as he pleases and it was a major failure.

Sure he can put the blame on the coach, but the fact that the quality of the team is basically round about at the same level as it was last season after all that money was spent is down to him, and I'm sure he'll have to answer to the board, especially since now it's not just Silvio's members (even so, I'm sure the Fininvest, Mediaset members won't take too kindly in watching money being thrown to waste at Galliani's hands)
