I don't like Mancini, because he has zero style. I just don't like how his teams are set up and how they play. He also tends to walk away when things don't go his way. I think if you want to work at Milan, you must be a bit willing to put your head down and work under sub-ideal conditions.
The only reason Mancini's name has popped up is because of his association with Mirabelli and Fassone and they think he's their favourite. I think it's just papers desperately trying to cook up news.
However, we could with the new management see the end of 'Ital-Milan'. Which I'm worried is going to be trouble.
I agree about Mancini Jack, total dud who has zero vision. Wouldn't touch him with a 20ft pole
I really want to see the new management put their faith in Montella and get completely behind him. Give him a praper squad and I think he'll flourish even more than he already has with all the limitations he's had to deal with
I've personally always been a fan of his coaching style, he did very well at Roma imo when he took the caretaker role, and his Fiorentina team was always a joy to watch and were relatively successful in terms of club objectives for a team like Fiorentina

I never thought I'd see the day.
But does this mean B&G are completely out of the picture?
Yep, no more shady deals, no more back scratching for Genoa, no more being treated like idiots by Galliani. The circus has finally moved out of town.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciated all that Berlusconi has done for Milan and none of the success we've had would be possible without him, but it's time. It's been time for a few years now and their actions/inaction was ruining the memories of what they'd accomplished
Let's all hope these new owners can take us back to where this great club belongs
I've been worried, but the fact that they've paid up 740m + another 90m for this years running costs has to mean they're serious

And Babs is gone too.
Fassone is our new CEO, and in fact the only only guard that will remain is Leandro Cantamessa, the lawyer.
It's complete change and Li will be the new president. Berlusconi rejected the honourary role.
tbh I barely care who has come in, to us fans one suit is the same as another. What matters is the money - do they have real hard money and will they invest in Milan quality players?
This summer will be fascinating.
We're already being linked with everyone under the sun. it's important to see if these new owners can make a statement signing or two this summer.

The claim is that they will have money for Summer transfers.
In any case, I feel a tinge of sadness (it is the end of the era, and if we ignore these last years, B&G brought a struggling team to greatness). I also feel excitement (new management, some money for rebuilding the team - at least in theory) mixed with apprehension (the ongoing saga in the last few months has left me with a lot of questions).
We'll see. I am equal parts apprehensive and excited to see what the future holds for the club. If these new owners fail I can see it being similar to the Inter situation with Thohir and then Suning. I think what's important now is that Silvio has finally let go and we're out from under Fininvest's clutches.
