One thing I feel more is Pioli has not proven anything, at all. Very early next season we can make judgement on Gazidis and Maldini, and it will be very fair to make the judgement, it won't be unfair to make judgement as early as 5 games into season.
Agree with this. It's very unclear whether or not our form to finish the season was for real. We looked good. Real good. As good as we've looked in a looooonng time. But the first month of next season will give us real indications on whether that was a "fluke" or not.
One thing is for sure. We have a squad full of talented players. That part is no fluke. It took much longer for some to show their talent, but it's now on Pioli to build on that, and of course up to Maldini to provide more quality in the squad. I don't think anyone can question Theo's, Bennacer's, even Kessie's quality anymore. It's clear that in the right environment, under the right circumstances, they are some of the best in Serie A in their roles. If we fail to get off the ground again this next season, then it's not the players but Pioli (and subsequently Maldini) that will have to take the blame.
