Well, Allegri joined Milan for a short period in 1994.
Oh, good. Didn't know that.
Thanks!

But, I still don't think we've sold our souls. Not until Berlu and Galliani step down and leave it to some Russian or Arab investors who have nothing to do with Milan other then pumping money in and out.
Sold the soul, not in the truest sense of the word. One which I hope never happens.
And like you said, probably never will as long as B&G are around at the top most hierarchy of the club. But the players I see with the reputation (who just a few years back would never have been in our club colors), the one year renewal policy with over 30 (that nevertheless exploded in the face last month), and general vibes I get from the club offices are quite a turn from the club of old. Even the new-found emphasis on youth (remember how we bought no less than 12 youth players last summer). Heck, even the way we conduct business on the pitch, and waste minutes on the flag (more to do with the coach, I agree, but still).
Part of it maybe the footballing world's financial situation, or maybe the Mr. B got tired of inter winning consecutively, but something gave and something changed.
Fingers crossed it's not a grave one, and really something like that would only come if the club gets bought by a Russian or Arab oil/business tycoon.
There goes another young home-grown talent down the drain. And people were of the view that Paolo staying on meant that we did not buy a new defender. I have seen ample of Paoloschi, and I will be the first to admit that I would have liked him to have have stayed and be our striker.
