News is psychitzophrenic.We're doomed they say.The club will fold , Li lives in a homeless shelter.Kalinic ie staying Kucka coming back.UEFA hate Milan.
Then we get linked with Werner Depay Huguain by the same media...Clowns , we'll just have to wait and see.But one thing is certain and thats that we cant go any further than June without this UEFA shiz being sorted.The world cup is on so there wont be any movement until ite over.Well barely any.
I think the reports are indicative of the chaos in the club. On the one hand, there seems to be absolute conviction that we'll reinforce as we need to, but on the other there is no stability because ownership of the club could change in a matter of days.
I actually think there's truth in both scenarios, we know that Li has a deadline coming very soon to pay the first part of the 40m he owes and if reports are true could be the start of Elliot taking over. At the same time I don't think the sporting project halts, whether it be under Li who if he keeps the club somehow wouldn't want to devalue what he's invested so far, or under Elliot who seem certainly set to try and avoid the club maintaining its value for potential buyers. The biggest factor as far as I can see in this regard is UEFA and their ruling.
What would be interesting is if Elliot does take over, what happens then? No matter how quickly they can sell on the club to new ownership, I doubt it'll be fast enough to get through the legal procedures quickly enough to get new management in for the summer market. That probably means that regardless of what happens, F&M are in charge for the summer and I doubt we'll see drastic changes on the sporting project quickly.
