I don't believe that for a second. Just look at how the team's playing, and his decision making during the game. Allegri simply cannot cut it without Ibra winning him these games.
Yes his squad is awful, but it's certainly not bad as this.

This is a team that doesn't even want to play. Incredible.
Either we fire allegri and get someone with passion who can change the tone in the dressing room because the body language clearly states that the players are not motivated by or happy with the club's ambitions right now OR we go out and buy some replacements.
You cannot get rid of your team leaders, guys like ibra, silva, nesta and then not replace them. This is what willl happen.
fire allegri or sign players. thats it.

Fire Allegri?

That's almost laughable, which other coach out there is capable of great (I'd even settle for good) things with this squad? Further to that, what good coach in their right mind out there would take over this pathetic squad of players?
Sign players is the only option and it's a bit too late for that in my book!
Here's to 2013 - 2014!!

Its not better that we need, if we fire allegri we have to go for someone with potential and passion. Only way it'll work. Someone whose wanting to make his way up and make a name for himself. Ciro Fererra and Allegri showed today the difference between someone with passion and someone whose frustrated.
You cannot go from eating gourmet asian cuisine to instant noodles over night and be happy with it. There will always be a period of heavy discontent. Its either Allegri rises from it, sucks it up and does his job or he goes. OR we sign him players to make him motivated and happy. Only way.

If it's any consolation for us that maybe Allegri is trying something out as the first game of the season. I mean it's quite clear that quality-wise Zapata and Mexes should be our first-team centre-backs. I'm not sure what was the original formation but I saw 4-3-3 during the game when Emanuelson came in as left-forward and Boateng as right-forward.

Panic buys? It's too little to late. At this point not even Diarra, Kaka and Tevez would save the season. The team has lost its backbone and structure. You can't rush something like that. It is built by careful planning, good management and backing by the owner. None of which we have.

Miserable.
These last weeks one really has to use a microscope to find positive specks or rays of hope at Milan. Nothing is working, everything seems to be against Milan: from management to coaching staff, from medical staff to the players roster.
Our defensive line is just terrible. Giving away easy passes, constantly on the verge of losing possessions, painfully slow. I don't know how someone can say Bonera is better the Yepes. Bonera is better then Acrebi and that's about it; he made two big mistakes and failed to cover Costa when he scored.
Our midfield was embarrassingly inflexible. Two false DM's (Flamini and Nocerino) with no real vision and a mediocre Montolivo who's only shot on goal turned into a "out" for Sampdoria. Only the dying minutes gave him more chances which he used for some fair crosses.
Our attack? What was Allegri thinking? No Prima punta but Boateng playing a "false don't-know-what" and Robinho-Shaarawy doing the work for - no one. I guess we expected Ibra to score...wait...we sold him!
Then Allegri decides to take off a striker for a extra midfielder who played a little bit on the left, a bit on the right, and a bit as an SS.
All in all a mess. Certainly, the management should take most of the blame, because they simply brought in bad players and made a few unreasonable deals. But this is a Serie B side who had to play a extra match against Varese to win this promotion! Surely we could have won even with the poor selection.
Milan is rapidly turning into a mid table team: a bit of everything, but no class. We have experienced players like Bonera, Yepes and even Abbiati who are good but can always cost you a goal or two, then we have a good crosser and technical player, a winger, Emanuleson who can't play a fullback/winger at Milan so the coach decides to move him around the field, knowing that he may very well be our only chance for a good cross or pass. We have an AM who shoots and just shoots the ball around, making forceful fouls and...playing out of position. Again we have a SS who does the work okay but lacks finishing skills, yet he's been pushed to play with out prima punta.
That's really a mess.

Well said Filippo. I personally can't even find it in me to feel angry or p!ssed off, just depressed.
How the management could manage to ruin what was imo, the best squad in the league by turning it into a mid-table side in a matter of months is beyond me comprehension.
At one point I also saw that Traore dude warming up. I was about to bust a gasket. Is this really what we've been reduced to? Even if Galliani manages to get Kaka in, it simply won't even make a dent in this pile of sh!t they threw on the squad.
Allegri is another matter altogether. He clearly has no clue as to how to go about it. Which also makes it painfully clear how much he relied on his big players to bail him out
