Best course of action is for Silvio to sell the club.

They're easily looking like the best team in the league right now.

Yep. They're looking as good going forward as they did under Zeman, ut at the same time solid at the back. Pretty scary.

Ok...Galliani steps back, what's your plan though?

That's the thing. There really is no plan, except to say 'Off with their head'. I don't think anyone except Galliani can manage this period of instability right now. Perhaps when things stabilise he can move away. His sentimentality is a fault, but yes, we can do a lot worse than finishing in European places every year.

For me, if we just have a new more enterprising coach come in, we should start seeing some remarkable results.

Bring someone in who has the vision to run this club properly, Silvio is not going to do it, and he's letting Galliani have free reign, which is a big mistake.

And you can talk about changing coach all you want but at the end of they day who was the one who vouched for Allegri? Who was the one who CONVINCED Silvio to keep Allegri when Roma wanted him? These are all terrible decisions made purely from a personal preference rather than a business or footballing perspective.

Best course of action is for Silvio to sell the club.

This. If he's not even interested in stepping in when the team needs him (and I'm not even talking about money here) then he should just let go. What's the point of keeping the Club if you're going to do more harm than good?

Yep. They're looking as good going forward as they did under Zeman, ut at the same time solid at the back. Pretty scary.

Agreed, but like I said, do you see them sustaining this throughout the season? I think they'll wain big time within few months, they don't have great squad depth so they'll have trouble coping if injuries start hitting them. Plus Juve will go from strength to strength as the season goes on, I personally can't see past them for the title, even Napoli don't come close for me, their terrible defence and lack of depth is also a factor. I think they'll get second but I don't think that they'll really give Juve a proper challenge for the title.

Third is a toss up between Roma, Inter and us. Yes I'm personally disheartened with how we're playing each week and with how things are going but we were arguably a lot worse last season and still managed it. So I'm not going to count us out just yet.

Still I have a feeling we'll be in the EL come next season along with Fiorentina and Roma/Inter (whoever doesn't get 3rd from those 2)

I think they'll probably be similar to Napoli of last year. Still be up making a genuine challenge after the winter break, but Juve's depth over the last few months of the season will help them pull away.

The plan is a complete rebuild and involvement of Milan legends I'm sure are capable of breathing fresh air into our loughs.

But really, no. Sentimentality was Galliani's problem a few years back with all the Favalli's and Oddo's that you and me defended. Now it's way past sentimentality. It's a clear case of decadence & decline prior to the final fall. Galliani has no plan, he's no relationship with the fans, he's lost every ounce of credibility and finally, with his Allegri obsession he's been holding the club back more then it should be.

Sure, European places isn't bad exactly. But I'd rather have a horror season like Juve or Inter had just to come back in great style, the years and years of slow stagnation and status quo. Because this situation is, permanent and long lasting as it is, is really affecting the basics of what AC Milan should represents: status, mentality, self awareness and greatness. History teaches you that great teams can eventually become past greats.

Well, this is the thing: I do. I think there a lots more fans who care about such things. Madrid has Bernabeu, Barcelona has Camp Nou, Manchester Old Trafford. It's the way it should be.

I do as well, but in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal. If improving the club means we have to have a stadium named after some brand, then so be it. As long as it's for the good of the club then such details can be looked over. Because at the end of the day, the name of the stadium is just that, a minor detail.

just chexked it is 3-0 at HT... so roma look likely for third this season

Why 3rd? They're playing amazing football, and have no european competition to worry about. I think they're serious contenders for the scudetto.

Nah, Juve will have that on lockdown by January

[Fillipo Simone]

We'll see. But I also agree, it's very likely.

We'll have to see how Roma evolves during the season, but given the whooping they handed Inter last week, I think they're very well commanded.

Roma are my biggest pain in the @ss this season because not only could we have sent Allegri to them but they got Ljajic right out from under us. Just incredibly peeved about them...

And all the fault of Galliani. Go figure... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

[X-Offender]

Roma have a really good team, and they actually made a profit this summer. It's called good management, something we're completely unfamiliar with. But they do have to thank us for not sending Allegri their way.

I'm still massively p!ssed off about that. All of it really, we had so many great opportunities to not only improve the team but to keep it within budget, while also sending Allegri on his way to a competitor. It was just an overall massive disappointment and to see other teams thriving when we could have most likely been in their position had the right decisions been made in the summer is even worse
