How can I believe these theories when Milanello is full of competent staff and experts whose are also present in training and nobody sees these favoritism allegations.

I think its quite clear that Carlo cant let go of his 'favourite' players. fox example, Seedorf is underperforming for months now and he is still in the team.

oh shut the hell up already, Carlo is a good coach,
and you know what's the best part?
now matter how much you BLA BLA BLA

HE WILL BE OUR COACH FOR NEXT SEASON

EAT THAT

Yes, I agree that Seedorf underperformed for a time, even Seedorf himself admitted it that he had to play even when he was not completely fit and in pain, but this doesn't proof anything.
My logic says that if for you it was so clear, what makes the management not to fire Carlo straight away?

The answer is that there were other valid reasons why Carlo fielded unfit Seedorf and not somebody else which were well known by the management.

How can someone think that Berlusconi, a such successful business man who built a whole empire will leave a coach to make infantile favoritism and harming his investment.

Because he no longer really cares about Milan, and the 'family club' thing is to make sure we have a yes man in charge.

This is the best Joke I heard in this current year!!!!

Apparently Van Basten just resigned from Ajax. Don't think he'd be the right one for us though, but just thought it was a bit interesting.

If he cared we wouldn't be struggling for CL spots with players like favalli, emerson, senderos, es, ponce spice etc, or a manager past his sell bydate. Looks likes he really cares.

I hope not...his history a Milan player is amazing, but as coach, history is at least suspect.

He couldn´t even put a Ajax side in Champions league playing in Eredivisie(more than one time). Also, don´t want here a coach that only knows to put one scheme(4-3-3) on the field...same with Rikjaard.

Perhaps you're right, indeed it would be hard to see Milan functioning in a 4-3-3, with all the Brasilians, and especially Kaka. I've always wondered what Real Madrid etc. would do if they bought him. Play him as a left winger like Robinho? Or in a Iniesta kind of role, as a CM

Well I would not want to keep a coach who says every other game how he wants to coach Roma.

Yep, in a 4-3-3 Pato will be throw to the wing(like Robinho in RM and Ronaldinho in Barcelona) and also Kaká will be underutilized...

I really hope if we change our coach, it will be someone that really knows to organize a team in more than one scheme.

If Carlo should leave the club I don't want San Marco as our head coach, I followed Ajax a bit and I didn't liked what I saw.
(Not the 4-3-3 since that is just how Ajax plays with our without Van Basten.)
I also saw several sportshows (studio sport) with him as a guest and he just didn't convinced me in what he said, how he said it and how he responded to questions. He knows football but I'm affraid he just can't bring it over to other people.

He just didn't seemed passionate. He underwent everything, every question was like a hit and all our former hero could do was put up his guard up and take it all.
I don't think he should be aggresive our something like Van Gaal
but he looked desparate like a small child that didn't know what to do, I don't know, it felt kind of strange. Two weaks before his resignation a journalist on that show asked him what he was going to do to prevent such a bad season and again he said somethings had to change but he didn't seemed convinced that he knew what to do.
After that I immediately felt he was going to give in his resignation.

If he should come I will give him my fullest support but I'm affraid he has nothing to gain here but burn a part of his mythological status.

Has anyone mentioned Slaven Bilic yet? I think he's a top coach, the way he motivates players and gets the best out of them is fantastic. He can be the 'comforting' coach but also the 'angry' coach if needed and he likes football to be played in an attractive manner.

I also like how independent he is, he's not just another 'yes' man and doesn't have the weight of expectation or history that Rijkaard or Van Basten would have.

He is inexperienced at top club level though, but his time with Croatia and the big tournaments they've played in should be a good basis.

I'm sure he has many faults too and people who know him better will be able to highlight these, but why not him?

Ye I like Bilic, but don't think he's an option. He's never been in Italy at all, even as a player, and I doubt that he even speaks Italian.
