Nothing good about Mihajlovic for me. He's a typical mid-table brute coach we never should hire. But here we go...
And han, one more thing - so you accept R7's argument that FFP prohibits FIAT from bankrolling Juventus?
I never said that I don't accept it or that I'm blind to FFP's existence. My main point of contention with R7 has always been about the mismanagement of the club.
Yes, I've always agreed that FFP gives Silvio restrictions on what he can do as owner, but there are still ways to stay in line with FFP while not letting your club go down the sh!tter, which is always something I argued about profusely. FFP, does not excuse the amount of losses we make each year, that's down to Galliani and how he's been allowed to run this club for the past decade since Silvio stepped back.
But, back to the main point, yes, I do agree that with FFP FIAT can never bankroll Juve in the manner you're implying. And they're not covering 90m in losses each year either. That's the point. The fact that we're so heavily dependant on Fininvest to bail us out while Juve aren't the same with FIAT. Again, it point directly to Galliani and the mismanagement of finances.
Both parent compaies have the finances to bankroll both clubs, they simply can't because of FFP, but while Juve make minimal losses each year, we make nearly a 100m. So going by this, our holding company is spending way more money on the club than Juve's is

Would have been great if we'd got Carlo or Emery, but they both declined, so from the mid-level choices we were left with, Mihajlovic was the best solution. I prefer him to Montella.
Can't agree there. On either point.
For me, we could have easily gone to Spaletti, Prandelli or Donadoni if Montella wasn't available, all of which are imo better managers and tacticians than Miha.
Also, Montella has proven at Fiorentina that he's a good coach who has dynamic ideas on how his side plays football. Showed it at Catania as well

I don't see how.
I take everything in consideration here. Mihajlović never had an ambitious team under his leadership. He did fairly with Bologna and Fiorentina. With Sampdoria he may have raised some eyebrows, but it went on to be just a temporary surprise. What we get with him is a brute, a very clumsy man-manager who'll just fill Milan with second-rate Sampdoria players (probably more expensive then ever) and a few of his Serbs.
All we get is another Allegri. Crude, tactically inferior, small-club mentality, no real experience.
Agreed
