Pipo: I just don't think you understand the difficulty of getting to 4th place, specially with a team that is in constant change without an established superstar.
Gattuso, imo, still didn't do anything to deserve a sack in my eyes.
He deserves another season for sure, and with a slightly better equiped squad.
For me the most important thing is that we get 4th place. And, at the moment it will be down to consistency but also luck... We just can't seem to pull away from our competition. It would just be a shame to see Roma/Atalanta get 4th place and not Milan. Since, we know very damn well that they will drop out very quickly out of this competition. While, for us it will give us just the boost we needed in terms of finance to get our squad to the next level.

If Milan want to speed up things and make a decisive move forward, they either should sign a superstar, find a instant supertalent or sign an experienced coach. Or else we'll be stuck in years with baby steps - 7 or 8 years to cling on to the 4th spot, next season a early exit in CL (group stage), then after 2 years perhaps 3rd etc etc. By this plan we will be back in (real) business by then end of the new decade.

Maybe, maybe Pipo. But, we both know it is more complicated than that. Berlusconi letting us getting for the last few years, Galliani with stupid moves and the Chinese mess. You can't expect a club to grow in such circumstances! Now we have more or less a steady management, and a steady CEO with Maldini there. We also have a young squad full of potential. I have more of an optimistic view. I think we just need this 4th place to push us where we want to be. With 4th place, we will be able to sign 2-3 superstars IMO, and we have an already solid squad. This should be good enough to yield us consistent 2nd-3rd place finishes. For the CL, for sure it is more complicated. But just imagine this, Piatek and Paqueta fullfilling their potential.. the future is bright, I hope (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

While, for us it will give us just the boost we needed in terms of finance to get our squad to the next level. I understand Fillipo's point about getting a big name coach though. Someone with experience at this level would definitely help. That being said, Rino hasn't done anything to deserve being let go. And if he does manage to get 4th than that would mean that he has done more for us than all the previous coaches since Allegri (with a stacked squad that is) have done. So that has to be respected I am worried how we'd fair in the CL though. The squad definitely needs 3 top notch improvements imo or else we'd risk humiliation at that level QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Apr 14 2019, 03:04 PM) If Milan want to speed up things and make a decisive move forward, they either should sign a superstar, find a instant supertalent or sign an experienced coach.

This year has been year zero for the umpteenth time now, but I believe that next summer we'll start from a solid foundation which will mean that we won't have to reset to zero once again. If Gattuso is successful in getting us CL football then I feel it would be a mistake to let him go as that would be step back for us in terms of consistency. Not to mention the fact that he would deserve to keep his job QUOTE (William405 @ Apr 14 2019, 03:19 PM) I don't think an experienced coach will change a big deal, but that's just my opinion. Hmm, I think he'd give us that something extra that Rino currently cannot. Gattuso atm is slightly limited tactically, and that has been to our detriment at times. So I wouldn't say that someone like say Conte wouldn't change things, because I think that he would

Anyway, are you all following this Kessie Bakayoko mess?
Apparently, Acerbi before the game said some things along the lines of Lazio are better than us in ever positiion etc, etc and Bakayoko replied on twitter with "OK my friend, see you on Saturday"
Then after the game him and Kessie apparently paraded Acerbi's shirt in front of the Curva in a sort of ironic gesture, which made Acerbi and Immobile incredibly butthurt
Now the FIGC is apparently investigating this.
Imo this goes to show the utter hypocrisy of this league and why it's still a million miles behind other leagues.
So they bury blatant racism against players but this, some ribbing from rivals is being investigated... Unbelievable

Agreed.
Also, why isn't anyone mentioning that it was Acerbi who started this debate that is "unworthy of sport"?

Because he's the white Italian dude would be my guess and him and Immobile were acting all hurt and indignant about it afterwards If the FIGC imposes bans on our plays, the club should take immediate legal action if possible Utterly backward mentality in that country

Agreed.
Awful match, awful attitude and gameplay. But what's new? Y'all be shouting again that Gattuso is blameless. Just think about this - 5 away matches, 2 shots on goal by Milan. We play awful football and if we somehow remain 4th it will be a gift by Roma and Lazio.
