QUOTE (han2503 @ Jun 4 2015, 05:48 PM) But then again, as you said, it's another year lost. but we've become accustomed to that now, so whatever Already throwing the towel before the signing campaign even starts? This summer is different. Either we spend big money and build a competitive team, at least for 3rd place, or we continue with the cheap signings and free agents as it's been as of late without any concrete plan in mind. If the second scenario does happen, I'll be the first one to actually step back and stop watching our games. Enough is enough. I can't handle another season like the last one. I've been a fan for over 16 years, and I've been regularly following our games ever since. But a limit has been reached, and if the management doesn't show signs of ambition this summer, then to hell with them and the club! I'm done being taken for a clown.

I think "ambition" will depend on a potential sale and/or investors. Then the question becomes how effectively we spend the money we have. Personally I am not that hopeful on either, but would love to be proven wrong. In any case, I have been a fan since the 60's, and have stuck with Milan through worse times, so I will keep being the clown (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .

QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ Jun 4 2015, 07:58 PM) Apparently we are at a decision point for Niang. Either he gets to play or he wants to leave. Yes, he has done well with Genoa, but I would like to hope we can aim higher. Not good enough. Also, the Ibra story. Can't see it happening tbh

But do you see any concrete sign that tells you this summer will go differently? No, I won't stop watching or supporting Milan. Like Forza said, there have been even worse moments than this one. What about Rangers fans? Or Lecce fans? By that logics clubs like that would have lost their fanbase by now.

QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Jun 4 2015, 08:37 PM) But do you see any concrete sign that tells you this summer will go differently? Us wanting to get Carlo back was the most concrete sign one could have hoped for. It meant building a competitive enough team for someone of his calibre and ambitions. Now that we didn't get him, though, kind brings us to a moot point. Are we still willing to spend big, or will Miha be pleased with lesser signings?

It's so hard to be a Milan fan these days. Honestly, the only similarity between what we see today and what we had in Carlo's days is the colours....even our badge is different (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) We have no fight, no commitment to good football, no marquee players (not even past it ones)....nothing I think (and still cling on to hope that I'm wrong) that the whole "Asian investment" hubbub was an elaborate ruse. In a similar vein, I'm also hoping that the "all Italian Milan" was just for political ends and not a serious initiative (as if we ever had one anyway)

In a similar vein, I'm also hoping that the "all Italian Milan" was just for political ends and not a serious initiative (as if we ever had one anyway) No disagreement with your assessment of where the team is at. I believe the Asian investment was more than a ruse. There was some serious interest there, and apparently discussions are still ongoing ( link - the article quotes Sole 24 Ore, and it sounds like the Chinese and Mr. Bee are now in it together). I have a feeling nothing will come out of it, but you never know. And yes, the "all Italian Milan" was probably said for the benefit of the elections (much of what Berlu says is for PR purposes, aimed at the Italian voter).

QUOTE (d'Arc.LP @ Jun 5 2015, 01:03 PM) I wish fans could have the right to vote and choose the next owner in these situations. Silvio is neither investing or selling the club to someone willing to invest. Oh come on. That's really not an option and surely wouldn't be the smartest thing to do.
