I want Mourinho as far away from Milan as possible (because of his character) but yeah a coach like him, one that demands things and does not just do what they tell him to do is a no no for our board now.

Hiddink? I don't know man. Even Spalleti isn't a very demanding coach..at least publicly. Don't know of any Italian coaches who are public in their demands.

I'd ideally like a fresh start after Carletto. Maybe see Laudrup. He was doing really great at Getafe, he's played in Italy before. And as a great player himself, he would know how to handle all the talent at Milan.

Of course this is without taking all the usual suspects into consideration...

That would be interesting to see .. I mean, who would dare bark back at what Silvio says ?! Realistically speaking. Then again, who knows

Well it's not exactly like Mr. B would have him sleep with the fishes? As long as coaches don't get killed for barking back, I'd actually not mind a confident coach that gets what he wants, at the same time delivering results that everyone here desires.

I don't Serie A is the kind of league where coaches can boldy hold a press conference about bad eggs and spoilt omelettes. What goes on behind the scenes remains at best...a guess.

Silvio is not into organized crime, rather he is very successful at man management Which is magnified by his political status and the empire of wealth that he built from nothing. This translate into a no-bullshit man .. From that premise, I doubt someone would dare speak back to him. Not because of fear no, but because of the fact that the man knows how to get something done his way

Though it would be nice, as you and dst stated, to have a coach that pushed the limits, it is unrealistic when you have a president like Silvio berlusconi.

Of course it is, Berlusconi would never hire such a coach. Or if he ever hired one he'd fire him.

What would be nicer is Carlo changing his stubborn self. Oh, it would be very nice indeed. He can stay as coach for the next decade, as far as I'm concerned. But he's not changing, and he's not winning, I fail to see him at the top much longer.

Have faith. He's slow but in the end he has success..

Faith is all I have! Unfortunately. There were times when a little better tactics/squad selection could have meant all three points, and frankly when fans like me and others can see them, why can't the coach/management? If things were done the right way, I, personally would never have complained.

But seeing the team's potential, all gone to waste, not one, not two, but three consecutive years, and still seeing the usual faces (Kaladze, Seedorf, Emerson, and others) when there are more adventurous options available is what hurts. Seeing we could have tried things differently, hurts. The results always are secondary and subjective. What counts is the effort, the spirit, which - as much as I hate to say it - is lacking. But hey, no worries. If someone or the board wants to live with these results, be my guest! Because they sure aren't changing with the same tactics, the same players, the same waste of talents, the same Christmas tree, the same 1-0 leads that turn to 1-1 or 2-1.

Who knows, different may make things even worse. Or better. But we'll never know unless we do DIFFERENT.

It's not about Kaladze, Emerson, Seedorf at all! But I'm to lame to make a pro-K/E/S+Carletto speach right now, so you have to belive me...okay?

Okay, I'll believe you this time! But speaking off the record, it really is a bit about them. Carlo favors his favorite players, never benches them, which in turn results their performance levels dropping because they know there is no competition, their starting place is fixed in the XI. Which in turn breeds complacency, and results like Lecce and Roma and what not. We're 11 points behind, when we could have been 3 ahead.

PS. KESC is an electricity and power generation company in Karachi, Pakistan. Karachi Electric Supply Company!

. Emerson no longer exists. Kaladze until Sunday, was universally considered (even on this forum) as a better big match player than Bonera/Senderos.Opinions didn't change till the first half display. amd suddenly it became -'just like I knew all along'.

As for Seedorf, we don't have anyone better to do that mid-field to forward line junction role. Anyone with the kind of skill to bypass the defensive mids, or the intelligence to bring Kaka/R80 into play from deep.

To drop Seedorf would mean say..play Flamini. And all it would mean was Kaka/R80 would need to drop deep to pick up the ball, and further isolate our striker - the 2 DMs policy thing, which is roundly criticised here.

Even if we were to do the 4-3-1-2 it would be the same case. The 4-3-1-2 in early Carlo era worked with Seedorf.

The difference was a monster defence. I would much rather we fix the damn defence, that drop/sell Seedorf, bring in a superstar mid-fielder, then another striker etc. Soon the problem would surface all over again.

I think the problem here is everyone seems to overestimate Seedorf -believe it or not. He turns in a usual 6.5-7.5 performance and occasionally in a clutch situation he really burns it up. The problem is people think, that Super-Saiyyan Seedorf is the 'usual' standard for some reason. He's good, he's an excellent player to have in a team, probably not to build a team around. He's a number 2. The kind of guy who accompanies the superstar as a plus one., but helps the superstar work. Like Robin and Batman (I hear a gay joke...I will seriously use a cuss word and I WILL NOT edit it!!).

I mean we've seen Kaka against Man U. Also Kaka against Reggina.

Pippo against Bayern. Pippo against Rangers.
