For the first time Galliani actually needs to run a club like its a firm. He never did it before. Those red numbers in our books are here coz Galliani did his job badly. Its Galliani's fault and that is why I have lost my trust in his ability to run Milan.

When players needed to be sold they were not ( Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, MArek etc. ). Now he is talking about sales etc., when Silvio told him to **** off with luxury and money coming from Berlusconi for payments of players we dont need. We'll needs years ( 3,4,5 ) to create stabile and powerfull club with healthy base of 18 players on top level now. Its too late. Half of the job should have been done by now, not started now.

10mln in red in NOTHING for a world wide football club. It ridiculous to even talk about it, isnt it???

Where is our marketing? Wtf? If a club like Milan with 10mln in red cannot create 50mln for mercato and stay in plus after the season ends then people who run the club are idiots. Which it seems they are.

Solution is to sell "campioni" ( who cannot play anymore ).

EDIT:

Stock holders have said to Galliani they are worried about Milan as the team is old, doesnt attract sponsors, there are no results for 3 years and on and on. Galliani says we now have young palyers in the squad ( REALLY?? WHERE?). They ( the club ) didnt know Sneijder was such a great player and that Milan will need CAM so much... MErcato will be hard and only most neccessary players will be bought. Brilliant stuff from Galli! We are NOT a top club anymore, untill those owners and managment leave. News from Gazzetts's forum translated by my friend from MM sa Balkana.

I think Milan fans in Italy should protest for the resignation of Galliani, we are not going to get anywhere with him at the help. We need someone more shrewd, forceful and decisive than this clown.

We're not Real Madrid, we don't own 50% (is it the right percentage ?) of the image of our players !!

10M in the red, 50M taken for the transfers and you're 60M in the red. Do you want Pato to be sold ? That's exactly his value nowadays regarding newspapers/medias ...

The fact is that with 50M spent in the mercato (these 50M are needed), you won't buy star players but useful players (if money is rightly used). So forget about marketing and the sale of shirts, etc, as if we buy, let's say Jucilei, who is an unknown player in Europe, do you really think people are going to buy a shirt with the Jucilei name on it ? I doubt.

So we need to try to be competitive as we can, and more importantly, we need to win a trophy, no matter which it is (even the Italian Cup) !! Because sponsors come more easily for winning teams than for teams always ending in Top 4 of all competitions (which isn't even our case as we were beaten too early in CL).

Nowadays, we rely too much on the AC Milan name, brand: the club, apart from this name, doesn't look like what everyone is used to see from Milan and I think it's why we're probably going to struggle to get sponsorship deals in a near future if nothing changes.
For moment, our name is enough to attract sponsors, but if we don't win anything for 2 years and don't invest even 20M in mercatos, our sponsorships will be worse and worse and as a consequence, we'll have less money from them, less money to invest, ... it's the perfect way to ruin a perfect club and become an anonymous middle-table team in 5-6 years.

Reading between the lines of what Galliani said, I think we can all figure out a general direction of our team. When he said "next year's financials are going to be more difficult", we should understand that means we are selling players again to cover our books by the time next year's financial results come out. We covered our asses this year with the sale of Kaka and Gourcuff, let's guess who is going to be out of here this time next year, hmmmm.....

The part I really hate about Galliani's speech (not that there was anything i liked to begin with) is how he talked about Inter. If you want to be a cheap ass moron who doesn't want a winning team, that's fine. But don't make fun of others who don't follow your strategy. Moratti wants a winning team, Berlusconi doesn't, simple as that. Galliani doesn't have to talk trash about Berlusconi but for God's sakes, quit talking about Moratti like he is out of his mind and Berlusconi is the sanest man on earth.

I don't think it would surprise anyone to know that our team is going down the toilet. Who hasn't figured out the fact that a soccer team without any trophy won't be getting high paying sponsors? For whatever reason, this is the route Berlusconi picked for AC Milan. We will become a mid table club in a couple of years, that's a guarantee. But that's exactly what Berlusconi wants this club to be. There is nothing we can really do about it. Protesting wouldn't do any good. Lord knows Berlusconi has seen his share of public protest toward him. All we can do is express our frustration through boycutting. Maybe, just maybe, a lighter wallet will give Berlusconi a reason to give a crap about this team.

I too have read that Pato is getting a divorce. I don't want to sound too harsh about this whole thing, but I think his marriage was doomed to fail at the beginning. The kid is 20 years old. In some countries, he still needs permission from his parents to get married. Now of course, age really shouldn't be the biggest factor in this whole process, it's the right girl that matters. So we look at his wife. Now I am not an expert in the field, but I do know that girls from show business are not exactly wife material. The kind of disgusting stuff that goes on behind the scenes can make a person puke. In this marriage, we have a kid who barely knows what love and marriage is all about and a girl who in all likelihood isn't exactly uptight about sleeping around. I hope Pato learned his lesson and choose more carefully next time.

i agreee every part of what mrki says about Galliani...we are in 60 mln debt if we spend 50m euros on transfers...yet we can get that money from CL income and other incomes if we have a great season for example(scudetto+CL semi final)Scudetto is not hard thing nowadays cuz inter misses ibra much and they fight for CL as well)

Lets just sell champions who are finished and out of system...

Dida,we pay 4 m euros a year to him...lets send him...

Jankulovski,Kaladze,Oddo,Onyewu,Favalli,Bonera?What did this guys do?Everyone was rating Bonera high,he was always injured and when he played,you know the results...Rooney goals...watch Rooney's first goal in second game,A world class or a world class defenders in the making never marks a player like that...then Cassano red card...his games...you know we pay tons of money...this 10 mln euros debt is because of this guys...who are getting very high salaries and however in return they give nothing...

still we add Yepes to them and maybe Astori will join them too...we lost 2 useless defender and will get 2 useless defnder....

its better to have 16-17 world class players then 30 squad players...

Gattuso is not fitted in 4-3-3,Ambrossini at best was a sub for us,look at his wages,then Seedorf passed it,Pirlo is in decline and getting high salaries,Flamini same...he did nothing compared to his 5.1m euros a year wage...

inzaghi is useless,Borriello scored 14 goals yet he did nothing in big games and was always invisible...he always be invisible vs strong and solid defenders like i said many times...

Beckham,Mancini,Adiyiah,they come and we paid their wages and they are gone...We will probably loan Adiyiah...

We dont have many young players,Silva,Pato and Flamini...we just have 3 quality young players and thats all...thats an insult a club like Milan...

if we dont have money to sign players,then lets sell our ex champions and sign useful free agent players...like kallström,Simplicio,Hamit Altintop,Cacau...Chamakh...

This all Galliani's fault,if he managed Milan well,we would be in top now...we had the best squad in 2003-2006 yet he never signed quality,young and world class players...
our team is worse and worse year by year...Sheva left and he replaced him with overpayed Oliveira,midtable and counterattack player who was injured...didnt sign any strong player with that money...forced to us play with 2 poacher...he even didnt sign a world class wing back...it was biggest need after Sheva typee of striker...Chealse offered us Drobba and we didnt want to take him...then like a joke he signed Oliveira...

ibrahimovic,Zambrotta(2006),Dzeko,Cissokho,Lloris,Buffon e.t.c.Galliani canceled this signings...

we didnt sign a side back cuz we didnt terminate mighty Oddo's contract,then Oddo is a world champions,he is staying with us...

We didnt sign Lloris from Nice,cuz our mighty Abbiati didnt want to sign for Palermo and he want to stay at Milan...he is a champion,will stay with us...

we were always lazy and slow in mercato,it takes many months to sign a player,Leo was the guy who signed Kaka,Pato and Silva...Milan attracks Brazil players more,Leo is the coach,Ancelotti was a risk for them,if we really wanted to sign Hernanes,we could have signed him 1000 times...we never have a Plan B in mercato,always we move with small term plans...

we didnt want to pay more than 20 m euros for Dzeko,then today we want to sign Dzeko again,we want them to reduce 40 m euros asking price...its like a joke...Galliani is my man and he is joke...big joke...biggest joke...

if we offload ex champions and just sign useful players,ok.dont sign them,just loan them....like Roma did...or others do...Roma without money still in scudetto race...young players who could be world class players in small term,go and sign them...not Zigoni,
Berretta or others...who will be ready in 5-6 years for first team...the most talented primavera player is Verdi and he is not ready for first team...Leo plays Oddo as CB and Albertazzi not ready for first team...Believe me,Only this 2 players can make first team...they are much better than the others...we dont have young players except Silva,
Pato and Flamini...they are not so young anymore...if we can call them young except Pato...Pato is 20...other 2 is much older...

this cant be accepted,Galliani is still in charge,still signs useless players,crap and finished and very old players...Yepes...Astori...Stotari back...Mancini...our team strength much more,we will win CL for sure...Stotari in goalie,Yepes in CB with Astori they are rock solid,Mancini will score and assist many goals and will help us to win CL...
very quality players...they are champions...but just for a stupid named Galliani...

SOB Galliani...

+Selling old and ex champions and lowering their wages...

for example calling Kaladze and saying we cant pay you this wage anymore,we are in 10mln debt,the door is there...Bye...im very sure that many clubs will want to sign him for a price like 6-7 m euros...but they wont give the wage that stupid Galliani gave to Kaladze...

Oddo,Onyewu(terminate his contract and send him back to S.Liege),Bonera(use him in swaps or sell him),Jankulovski(2-3 m euros at most),Huntelaar,Gattuso(he is not fitted in our system,we can get 6-7 m euros for him,he also asked for leave)

then call players like Seedorf,Pirlo,Ronaldinho...

tell them we are in debt and we cant cover that debt,you have to decrease,we will see whos real milanista...who really loves Milan...if they dont,say the door is there...They wont find a club like Milan in the world...

then inzaghi,we love you Pippo but you should retire anymore...

then sign useful and quality players...Altintop is a nice alternative,sign him,he can play in midfield trio,RB...if he fails,there will be always clubs like Fenerbahce,Galatasaray and Besiktas who are desperate to pay and sign him...no risks...

Simplicio...useful and quality...2 m euros wages is not compared to our champions wages...

Cacau,useful and quality,much better than Mancini and Beckham for Right and Left side...

Godin...e.t.c.

sign Hernanes with sales of players...

then ask Zamparini how he found Kjaer,Pastore,Cavani e.t.c.

Napoli spends money,Fiorentina does...Samp is doing good,Juve will be much better than this year,with right man,they will sign right players and will strength so much...

Galliani and Berlu doesnt have the balls to sell Pato guys...They all have seen the team after he injured...we cant win...we will be in Serie B without Pato...

e.t.c.

success in CL and Seria A,finding better sponsor,signing better agrements...

selling Pato wont solve anything...we sold Kaka and did we solve anyhing?next year we will have to sell Silva...then we will be empty handed...

Berlusconi will have to sell Galliani after that year...

Dida, Oddo, Janku, Kala, Goouch, Zambro, Ambro, Gattuso, and Seedorf are all probably costing Milan around 60mil in salary per year, tax included.

Now some of the names mention can still provide a good game here and there and are great bench players....but is it really wise to spend 60mil on them? While you can probably get 9 other players who costs half of their salary and still perform at their level now. Ofcourse, you might say stuff like Seedorf and others are born for CL....but I doubt they will be even playing for CL in a year or two.

A lot of people are comparing this period now to the mid-late 90s, but to me there is a huge difference, as in the mid-late 90s, Milan still went out and paid for players, Weah, Bieroff, DeSailley, Sheva, Ayala, just to name a few.

It is truly sad that MIlan has fallen to their current stage. Yes, some of you will say that if Platini is really going to enforce that law then Milan will be gold....but to me that will never happen and even if it does, they will be loads of ways to work around it. As it is pretty stupid to have a rule stating how much money can the owner invest into his and her own clubs.

I agree with both your posts except for Kala going for 6-7m, as I doubt anyone wants to even pay a cent to sign him.

EDIT:

Stock holders have said to Galliani they are worried about Milan as the team is old, doesnt attract sponsors, there are no results for 3 years and on and on. Galliani says we now have young palyers in the squad ( REALLY?? WHERE?). They ( the club ) didnt know Sneijder was such a great player and that Milan will need CAM so much...

News from Gazzetts's forum translated by my friend from MM sa Balkana.
well said bro
Although I tend to blame Berlu more

SOB Galliani...the only players from juve,i'd take,Marchisio,Criscito,Buffon,
Chiellini,Sissoko...lets sign one of them not finished,old and crap players...

one season we stop this policy and sign quality,young and in prime players we sign...

''Stock holders have said to Galliani they are worried about Milan as the team is old, doesnt attract sponsors, there are no results for 3 years and on and on.

News from Gazzetts's forum translated by my friend from MM sa Balkana.''

i wonder what they said to Galliani after it...we have now young players in squad?Where are they?i think he means Pato and Silva...maybe he is refferring to Zigoni,Adiyiah and so on...maybe he is dreaming that we are winning CL next year with superb player of Adiyiah and goal of Zigoni...
at least its nice to see someone cares about Milan except fans...The team is not old,its very old...we just have 1 first team player under 25...Just Pato...off course someone doesnt wanna be sponsor of this team...there is no success...no star players...Even pato is not a real star(When friends talk about Messi and Ronaldo,i cant say that we have Pato for example cuz Pato didnt show much at this stage yet) in world football...he has to show something in CL and have a superb season in Serie A...he always injured...the year before,last year..this year...he always find a way to injure himself...Last year,i always said that we should take Sneijder with Kaka's sale...he would be ideal player for us...for 4-3-1-2...both in midfield trio and trequartista position...think a player...who has a 100m euros or more buyer...then sold him to Real for just 67 m euros...cuz we are friend with Real Madrid...The player didnt want City,i dont accept this excuse,There was clubs who sold their players againist their will in the past...Moggi sold Appiah to Fenerbahce for instance againist his will...he didnt wanna move on...Everyone s not Tiago who locked himself in a room not to sell...

it has been a Milan policy,signing old,finished and useless players and paying high salaries to them...in 2008,we signed Zambrotta,Borriello,Ronaldinho,Sheva...we have Kaka and Pato,we just need 1 world class player to fill...instead of signing a player like Dzeko at that time,we signed 3 players and paid very high salaries to them,if we have debts,why did we signed 3 of them?Ronaldinho 8.5 m euros wages...Wow.Sheva more than 6 m euros...Borriello 10 m euros to Genoa,around 25 m euros to Ronaldinho...instead we could have signed 2 world class players,1 box to box which was very needed at that time and a striker...we would win scudetto with them...then wasting our money on Viudez and Cardaccio,wasting Noneu spots on Viudez...Silva couldnt play because of them...Galliani is the guy who is to blame for this clown moves...

Galliani is talking about Huntelaar and Borriello as star players...Ronaldinho,Pato,Silva...then Huntelaar and Borriello...if you call Huntelaar and Borriello as stars,every player is star.Di Natale,Pazzini,Maccarone

Berlusconi should have fired him 10000000 times before...i wonder why he still doesnt say anyting about him...i read in 2006 or early,he wanted Moggi instread Galliani...then Calciopoli occured and he didnt come...

Ronaldinho still a big questionmark in CL,he still didnt show if he can do in high tempo of CL...ibra was the king of Serie A yet he failed at high tempo of CL...

btw Carlo Lauidisa is more reliabre than both Pellegatti or Riu...or Serafini...
im reading his news since last year,he looks reliabre to me...Gazzaspace...

Geo, it is all about marketing and striking good deal with sponsors.

You probably won't believe me but in HK, there are actually fan clubs for Bolton, Portsmouth and West Ham, and I am not talking about 10-15people, they are in the thousands. Then there is a huge following of the German League in China, and you won't believe how many Wander jerseys I seen whenever I visit Beijing.

One thing that I really think Milan should done is to open Football school for kids all over the world. For example, there is a Barcelona Football school in HK, although kids are free to train after selection. BUt they have plenty of tournaments-some even at Nou Camp. Point is that it is a great way to market the team without really investing big as these football schools are often runs by local teams and their sponsors-as they want to raise their profile too.

You probably won't believe me but in HK, there are actually fan clubs for Bolton, Portsmouth and West Ham, and I am not talking about 10-15people, they are in the thousands. Then there is a huge following of the German League in China, and you won't believe how many Wander jerseys I seen whenever I visit Beijing.

One thing that I really think Milan should done is to open Football school for kids all over the world. For example, there is a Barcelona Football school in HK, although kids are free to train after selection. BUt they have plenty of tournaments-some even at Nou Camp. Point is that it is a great way to market the team without really investing big as these football schools are often runs by local teams and their sponsors-as they want to raise their profile too.
But it is because the League has a good marketing strategy too ... which in Italy, doesn't exist, as simple as that (the Italian League has a lot to learn). It's why every week-end, all games from Premier League are shown on Chinese TVs and more generally on several Asian TVs, when next to these games, you only have 2-3 games from Italy shown.

By showing all these games each week-end, thanks to this cover, you have fans even for small clubs from Premier League, because it is almost like if it was the national championship (seriously, look at the streaming links: China shows all games from England !! I'm even sure that a Fulham-Bolton has is shown by as many channels as Milan-Inter nowadays). If in Italy, people can be fans of Juventus, that means everything can happen and so, as a consequence, I'm not surprised that Bolton or other small clubs have thousands of fans outside England ...

Do you know what's funny? It's not Milan's problem with sponsors, we actually just got a sponsorship with Emirates that is actually giving us more money than our sponsorship with Bwin, so, it's clearly not that.

As far as Galliani being at fault for Milan's finances, I think that is ridiculous. Berlusconi is the problem here, because he's not injecting cash into the system, and that is how Milan functions in the transfer market, like I outlined exhaustively in my earlier post.

I think Milan's biggest problem is the fact that we don't own our stadium. We should try and buy San Siro, that would increase not only our value, but our revenue by a lot. Not only by collecting the gate (without having to pay rent to the city) but being able to host concerts, and other stuff. That is the major difference for Italian clubs, and that is why our value is not as high as Man Utd.

We don't have many good sponsorhip deals if we are to believe what stokeholders said. Yeah, we signed with Emirates, but then ? Have we agreements with TV channels (outside Italy for example) ? Except BWIN/Emirates, what are our other sponsors ? I know we have Audi (Audi offers a car to each of our first team players each season, wonderful, but what does they give to the club ?). I think we have D&G or Armani, but again,
except giving suits to our players, what do they give to the club ?

I'm just curious to know what are our sponsors nowadays ...

I don't think buying a stadium would fit with our current policy of economies as we would need to increase our debt to buy San Siro/build a new stadium by asking for loans ...
