According to Le Parisien, Sanches has said no to our offer because he wants to join PSG.

If it's true then f*ck him. Always playing hard to get with his salary demands, now he's willing to sell his soul and play for the most fake and soulless club in the world.

We should have just gone for that Enzo Fernandez guy who honestly looks amazing. To think Benfica got him for 10m + 8m of bonuses. Probably gonna sell him for 80m after a couple of years like they usually do.

But it's 28 June today and Maldini and Massara haven't yet renewed. Nothing official yet. Unbelievable. We're losing players on a free, losing our objectives that we had blocked months ago. What the hell is this club doing FFS??? It doesn't even feel real that we won the Scudetto only a month ago.

This is what I've been saying for weeks now

Ever since Paolo had that interview with Gazzetta something seemed off. This change of ownership really screwed us over.

Renato is gone. Now we have to look for a replacement for Kessie still, an AM, RW, CB, LB. A lot needs to be done and our targets are no longer available. Let's see if we can manage to close for Ziyech, CDK and maybe Lang. Because if not, I fear the 45m reported budget was maybe generous if that's even possible

At least news filtering out this evening is saying that the renewals for the management are done

Schira is as reliable as my friend's dog. But Mediaset also now says that an agreement has been reached. Still, until I read something official I won't sigh out of relief. This mercato has made me lose any sort of faith in Italian journalism.

Botman and Sanches, two deals Maldini worked his @ss off for months, gone like just like this because Elliott are a bunch of fuckers.

Hmm, I find him to be reliable personally, especially when he announces stuff like that, it's usually done.

Yep and we even lost out on the plan B for Renato because we've been stuck in quick sand all of June...


Let's see. I'm going to try to find my zen about this. I trust Paolo, Massara and Moncada to pull a couple of rabbits out of the hat

I watch him on an Italian TV show often, always spits the usual generic BS every newspaper writes.

But even if they renew, the fact it's happening so late really puts huge question marks on the overall atmosphere within the club.

But when he usually posts these definite tweets it's usually done. Let's see. We might end up without a management team by Friday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

So typical for us to turn everything into a f@cking never-ending saga. We'll go through this same type of BS all summer for all the signings.

Renato to PSG nearly done as well. Nearly shed a tear. I was looking forward to him the most out of all the names we've been linked with

Yes, this is what I've been saying all month.

These should have been sorted out before the season ended. Especially if RedBird wanted to keep the same trio

Btw, we've extended the deal with Puma, it will be for 30m per year and they get naming rights for Vismara. A good improvement. We really need to milk sponsorships for all they're worth especially now.

Emirates also needs to be drastically improved or we should change sponsor on the front of the shirt as well.

Starting next season we have 5m from BitMex, 8m from WeFox, 30m from Puma and if I'm not mistaken it's around 20m for Emirates. Plus we've signed on with eSoccer for the training kits and that's a pretty good deal as well, over 20m if I'm not mistaken. So we are making progress. Obviously it's peanuts compared to clubs like Real or Barca who get over a 100m from Nike/Adidas. But at least we're starting to exploit some of these avenues a bit more.

Sorry Han, please don't take this the wrong way, but who gives a sh*t! The numbers and all are looking great, but fans don't care about any of that. Fans care about the results on the pitch, about Maldini and Leao renewing, about signing Botman, Sanches and all our other objectives. Instead we continue to increase revenues but become stingier every summer with our spending.

I'm sick and tired of losing deals for peanuts, of the salary cap, of this policy of letting players leave for free. I feel like we're at crossroads right now, and we could either take the path of becoming a great club in Europe again, or continue to operate as a sustainable business with no ambition.

The only entity in all this that is benefitting from such politics are Elliott. And nobody please mention the Scudetto, cos that was all Maldini, Pioli and the lads. We could have finished 4th for all Elliott could care.

Anyway, it's Wednesday afternoon and still no signs of any renewals in sight... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

But getting the revenues up will help in all that you mentioned. We are operating within a very tight parameter because revenues are worse than what teams at the bottom of the PL get, let alone the clubs we want to compete with.

Inter for example keep doing back-flips, summersaults, and every other maneuver in the book to keep signing these high cost players, who are long-term strains on the finances, yet they've achieved the same thing as we did. And in the long run it will become even more unsustainable than it already is. They got lucky on the Lukaku deal, but they're basically paying 18m just to have him for this year only. They'll have to go back in and re-negotiate with Chelsea next summer, and I don't think it will be easy or cheap, so everyone saying that they screwed them over, I think in the long run Chelsea will come out the winners. Do I think we should operate in this manner? Maybe it's less frustrating but I don't think it's a sustainable approach, not in Italy where revenue steams are as dry as the desert.

So I am happy to see all these deals being improved getting more cash flow in, maximizing the potential of the brand. Especially considering where we were just 5 years ago. Basically having lost all our big deals which were still there since the Berlu days, we even were without an official motor partner for a while there after Audi was lost.

So I get all of your frustration. This Maldini saga has been seriously f@cking annoying, and now that we're in the final 2 days of the contracts with no word yet, it's even more concerning. Because something is just not sitting right with me. We had Botman and Sanches wrapped up. I can only imagine that the guarantees we had given them were no longer there. I've been banging on about this ownership switch since that Paolo interview, and you were trying to be the voice of reason there. Now that we're in the final straight, I want to wait to see what happens. We've waited this long, 1 and a half days won't kill us.

Reports Maldini and Massara have signed extensions till 2024.

Then no signing done yet.

Then Milan miss out on Botman as he heads to Newcastle for medical.

Then Maldini and Massara signing imminent.

Then PSG enter the picture to sign Sanchez.

Then Sanchez only want Milan.

Then minority shareholder skyblue or whatever files lawsuit against Elliott for disclosing info on Milan without their consent to Redbird. Stalling takeover.

Then Sanchez wants PSG and not Milan.

Then Maldini and Massara leave headquarters of Milan without signing.

Then Gazidis comes back to Milan headquarters after taking a leave which started after Milan won Scudetto.




I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

The problem is that the increase in revenue isn't being proportional to an increase in spending on the market. So, management can boast these new deals all they want, as long as fans don't see results by increasing the quality of the team then it will mean nothing. Just business.
