Wow, talk about being biased. You can talk trash about the majority of the forum and I could not be a sarcastic about what you said? Whatever, man, that is not important. But keep in mind that, if you use a rude tone in your writing, people are allowed to fight back.

Here is the real issue. I understand that you do not wish milan to become the next leeds, lazio or parma, but you seem to be missing one very important aspect of the issue here. Those teams you mentioned were not actual superpowers and stretched themselves far too thin financially to compete with the big boys in europe. The result was that they doomed themselves as they could not keep up with the constant greater revenue inflow of the major powerhouse teams. Milan, on the other hand, is a powerhouse team, or at least was. They are at least in the top 10 in terms of team revenue in the world. That means, with proper management, they can utilize their high income level to at least compete with the other powerhouse teams rather than acting like a Serie B team in the market. When the majority of the powerhouse teams run in red, there is no reason or excuse for milan to go off talking about how they are smarter than everyone else and wants to balance the books at all cost. The fact is, pro soccer as a sport has issues because the only way to win is by running in red all the time, so don't hate the players, hate the game. This is how professional soccer teams have to do to stay competitive and there is nothing milan can do to change it no matter how much you believe so.

As far as asking Italians goes, it just so happened that I recently went on a trip to Italy. And all I can tell you is, though prices there aren't cheap, they are not that much worse than Switzerland and France (the other two countries I went to). You can sit there and cry all you want, but the fact still remains that Inter and Juve are doing a hell of a good job in the market in the exact same financial atmosphere. So, don't go around and act like everybody else is crazy and you are the only rational one, because you might have more knowledge than everybody else (or you don't, i don't know you that well) but the fans are not blind and they can see facts for themselves.

I told you right after I saw Berlusconi is selling Kaka' that this club is done untill Silvio leaves. No money will be inserted and best players will be sold. Milan couldnt guaranteed 1st team to Gourcuff? hahahaha, get real. Visit to France was an aliby flight for the fans. Clause in Yoan's contract was inpurpose to get more money this summer.

Milan will not be a top club untill Silvio sells it. He will take the money out of it as long as he can and will not take care of Milan's reputation anymore. If the man who runs the club doesnt do his work and doesnt care, fans need to protest and claim his resignation. But no...lets be optimistic. I will not beg, those of you who dream of great Dinho and super Pirlo can go and pay 50 euro to see Milan, I will not give anymore money to Berlusconi.

very good post... how can we get milan to have the samestructure like Barca?

The Inter game is on the 30th, probably at 20:30.
So it will finish at like 22:30. If we do get a hardcore hammering - which we will - Berlu will have less than 26 hours to realize we are sh1t and buy us what Leo wants.

He will have more time if we get a nice beating from Siena.... assuming he realizes that we sukkk

After reading this post and the one before... I came to the conclusion that if all top teams are in debt, they will be relegate in their league and will not be in CL.

That means, Milan will win the league and CL when all these big debt clubs can't even get into the competitions. Berlu is a genius for making Milan champions by not spending a cent. BRAVO BERLU.....

The guy is soon 73, has had a pacemaker for quite a while now, and takes perversely high doses of ''blue-pills'' very often.... he will die sooner or later.

And his ''children'', who are not at all as fanatic as Berlu claims to be, will sell the club directly since they know they will just have to pay monies. At that point the Arab sheik who bought us will be willing to make us great again.

Good points, but you're forgetting that we are not a big club anymore. We will be in a dogfight with Sampdoria I think this year.

The Juves, Inters, Barcas, and Reals of this world are the big clubs. We can only feed on Real's scraps. We are pathetic. We should look with envy at the big clubs because we cannot compete with them in any department.

We have to get this in our head, if we are not to be disappointed. Until Berlusconi decides to get the hell out of this club (I don't even care what he has done in the past), our club will remain a minnow mired in hellish political calculations.

Milan consider sijder if Pirlo goes , why do I bother its on Goal.sh1t id take it though ...WATCH THIS SPACE.

You sound like Andy Gray. This makes your signature funnier because it's making fun of you too, now.

Gio, Quite frankly i don't think what Leo wants will help milan not under any circumstances. Remember Leo is still a new comer for coaching and honestly after watching yesterday's game i am sure this guy is still missing loads to be called coach, i know we were playing crap but still you can see that from the field.

Hehehe...

We have to resign ourselves to hopelessness because the club itself does not want to remain ambitious. Why bother hoping then? If things work out, great. If not, then it is par for the course.

However, my excessive pessimism is not completely unfounded. We have been mercilessly taken apart by all and sundry this pre-season. Our glorious president took a break from his sordid activities to inform us that we will not buy players who earn a lot--that is, players who have real quality. Our former best player has just announced he was sold because his ambitions did not match Milan's. I don't think he is completely blameless, but it makes you think that things are looking very very bleak. Also, our former captain, who gave everything to his club, was vilified by semi-literate thugs upon his farewell.

As for Andy Gray, he may actually look like Tim Vickery over the next few seasons if he forecasts Milan's demise as boldly as he did.

So...yeah...

damn, i just found out we have another game today, it is vs boca.

Heinze Signed with Marseille.
other news braida and galliani are staying in germany to finalize Dzeko's deal. (bull****)
