Agreed, but I agree with Maldini's comments last night that judging him on getting CL qualification is too much. That said, anything else might not be enough with names like Sarri and Conte floating around.

Well, there's some obvious similarities there, as both a known for their motivating skills and intensity. Gattuso's also said in the past that Conte impresses him...

and when announced as coach, he said he sees himself a little like Conte...

These latest stories are all from Gazzetta. The management haven't at any point said they think Gattuso is their Conte, even if in private they may be seeing some parallels. They should absolutely stand up for their man too if they believe in him. In his early days in Milan, Sacchi was being called to be sacked and Berlusconi basically told the players "either follow him or get out". We know how that turned out.
No offence to you, but you always seem extremely negative with regards to this management and I think you judge them unfairly. There have been issues, but this report from Gazzetta isn't something to criticise the management on, it's a point to acknowledge the positive work Gattuso is doing thus far.
On Gattuso, the guy deserves respect. He came into this job and pretty much everyone immediately wrote him off. He's not had an easy time and has struggled, but his work has shown some promise and now those same people initially writing him off are going back on their words. That's a massive turnaround in image for Rino as a coach.
