it pretty simple
Juventus wages 98 million euros income estimated at 210 million euros
Inter milan wages 115 million euros income estimated at 190 million euros
Ac milan wages 122 million euros income estimated at 240 million euros
to summarise juventus pay wages to the players and as a result can afford buffon and diego plus they don't mind piling up debt, Inter makes moratti bail them out at the tune of 40 million euros each season, berlusconi just doesn't care used to bail out each season to the tune 15 million euros but now he wants the club to support itself.
btw of course ancelotti leaving had a factor on the managerial at milan galliani took complete advantage there was always a chance Milan would sell Kaka but Ancelotti would of made Milan accept bids from chelsea why the hell is milan being so friendly to madrid?

Now that Ancelotti is gone - all hell broke loose.

I don't think that's correct.

First, I think Ancelotti is one of the best coaches in the world.
With that said, I think he was stagnating after coaching Milan for
some time. Milan has a problem with Berlu being so arrogant and involving
himself in matters he shouldn't, but thinks he is an expert in. Fine, it's
his team.

Second, Ancelotti was more than happy to do whatever Berlu said
without a backbone whatsoever.

There are many examples to point to, but if I were Ancelotti, I would have argued for good, new defenders well before this year. I would have not taken Sheva, Beckham (ok, he did good, so I admit I was wrong but he was a marketing ploy first, player second in mgmt's eyes), gotten rid of Dida long ago, never played Kalac (ever), Slowdorf would have been a backup at the very least this year.

Oh yeah, and I would have played some youngsters every once in a while. Such as Gourcuff, Paloschi, etc.. I would have tried to rehabilitate R80 instead of just letting him rot on the bench.

Also, if Ancelotti didn't play youngsters, how about asking for some cheap backup signings? We were often out of defenders due to injury and were forced to play Flamini, Ambro, etc.. at defense. Along with Favalinho and Maldini at CD which has a combined age around 80, even though they did good together.

If it wasn't for Inzaghi going nuts towards the end of the season, we wouldn't be in CL and that has nothing to do with Ancelotti. He just rode the wind.

Kaka didn't stay in Milan because of Ancelotti. He stayed because Milan. If Berlu wasn't showing greed towards the big payday, then Kaka would stay.

Point is: Ancelotti is a great coach, no doubt, but there is no way in heck that he is not at least partially responsible.

If we leave Kaka we are finished!
I hate our managment, if we sell our best player who will replace him? There is noone on this world that we can buy that can replace that great man!

If we loose him forget any trophy for a long time.

Its not about Milan being in serie B, or being 4th or 5th like last year. Its about this managment is robbing Milan's essence! People are not stupid, they realise that and that is why people in Milano are also 100% against the sell of Ricky.

If Milan stood firmly and said "NO", Kaka' would never ask to leave Milan. But Galliani and Silvio cant wait for the money.

And what does this mean, minus of 70mln? That every year Milan will sell some player to cover it up? "Its economical..." says Galliani - No, its fro fun! Translated: we dont want to pay so we'll sell to cover for 10 missed transfers and everything we stole.

Kaka'+Gourcuff is around 100mln. I dont believe for a sec Milan would sell for 65 and refuse 100 from City. They lie that the sum is smaller and everyone takes a bit, its a known thing in football world.

So we start the mercato with 80-100mln euro. We'll spend like 50! Its disgusting.

looks like its going from bad to worse

Fantastic news! Who needs Kaká when we have Kaladze?

He is not giving hourly interviews, he hasn't said that.....I hope

I share your hope, but with the way management's been going about their business lately, nothing surprises me.

Well that sounds rediculess from Berlusconi, I really doubt he doesn't realise that Milan will need reinforcements for next season. He could be just saying that, like he says so many other things. If he truely doesn't want to sign anyone then he comes off as naive. The thing is that Galliani and Berlusconi always come out and say that we aren't gonna sign anyone, it seems like a strategy. My guess is that it's an attempt to stop rumours for transfer targets.

He did say that. He said that we have a squad full of champions.

English teams compile 3.1 billion in debt. What a disgrace

I am glad I don't have access to those channels and don't browse football news and rumour sites much any more. "Champions" is way over used, even by fans. Of course we have a talented team, even without Kaka, but that's missing the point...
