Goodbye to all the Old Guards

[ACM1899]

We have a Nesta thread already started and I wanted to start this one to say goodbye and thank you to



Super Pippo
Gattuso
and lets see whoelse to come in the coming days/weeks



This is definetly not easy but we need to make room for the younger/faster players to come. I hope we give them an amazing goodbye at the San Siro (they deserve it)
And I hope to see Gattuso also work at Milan in the future.

Great teams have their own cycles, I guess. Some might take longer (Ajax in 70s and mid 90s) or not (Milan under Sacchi, Capello and Ancelotti with few barren years in-between). I think it also needs luck as much as good management skills (finding and managing those quality players that suit one another perfectly).

Anyway, thank you and goodbye Senators. What a great ride these 10+ years has been
