    Words can't describe how absolutely idiotic this decision was. This is what I have always dreaded which is having an owner who is clueless and doesn't understand the club he owns. An inept manager or technical crew can be sacked but we can't sack this buffon. I am so heartbroken right now.

    They ripped the heart out of Milan. They fired The man who gave everything for the club - his whole life! He has always been the man who made a team out of individuals. With hardworking, fairness, a winning spirit and with and an ear and an eye for the youngsters. He never let anyone down. Not only during his active time, but also as a director. Shame to the Milan owners.

    This is what happens when you provide the ownership of a major club like AC Milan to an American company Redbird who literally knows nothing about Italian football to begin with, I already knew this American company was going to destroy AC Milan 😒😒

  • @morningstar_pm
    @morningstar_pm Pƙed rokem +32

    I am speechless, even with Elliot at the helm you could see the essence of Milan. This year I saw Gordon Singer more times in the stands than Gerry Cardinale... A former owner, that didn't decide to buy this club but repossessed it as collateral, was more times in the stands than the current owner that bought this club at his own volition... Ill never forget the time when he took a jab at Çakır after the Atletico game, it just shows that he cared even a tiny bit beyond money and still does... Gordon is as busy man as Gerry if not more, managing a fund literally 35 times larger than Gerrys ($70b vs $2.3b), which currently has only 0.001% vested interest in this club (600m loan to Redbird at 7% interest rate) compared to Redbirds 60% vested interest in relation to the size of the fund, yet still found the time for AC Milan, but this tool didn't...
    I think the project that was in place, is no more. Gerry was supposed to raise the funds for the Elliot debt this year, but couldn't. With Chelsea out of nowhere getting an American owner, FSG of Liverpool instead of selling also raising funds, and Man. United on sale, AC Milan is no longer as attractive investment option in football for Americans as it was last year, which is the reason why Redbird haven't managed to raise the 200 to 300m by the end of the year as they hoped, and that 7% interest rate at half a billion is starting to burn a real hole in the Redbird Capital fund as a whole...
    The only way forward for Redbird is, stay near the top so you can expand the fanbase in untapped markets, but necessarily you don't have to be at the top. Buy young cheap players based on the buzz worthy "moneyball" theory that doesn't really apply in football but your investors don't really know that, they just need to see that the players (assets) you have brought increased the value of the club within a season (even if only marginally it still matters, which is why the CDK investment hurts them so much). Don't post losses, so if and when needed sell Rafa, Theo, Mike... Finally, go all in on the stadium at the real estate location that would increase the value of the club the most. Do all these right, and in 10 years, Redbird can flip AC Milan for at least double the price they got them, which is the reason why funds like Redbird exist in the first place.
    With all that in mind, I think the outcome of the meeting with Maldini was decided back in January.
    Damn, the banter era was bad, but the essence of Milan was still felt even if just as glimpses at time, but it still was there. If this turns into Banter 2.0 it will be much worse, since this club no longer feels like AC Milan at all. We were "family" there was certain respect and honour always within AC Milan. But with this move, it seems we last the respect in every corner of the footballing world. No player would take us seriously any more, so no player would decide to go to Milan for lower pay like many did now... I can imagine Furlani trying to convince Mike to extend his deal, selling him nonexistant project, or convincing the next Theo why Milan would be the right place for his development... Uhhhh, this will hurt.

    It also perfectly encapsulates why I hate the involvement of foreign enteties with no respect of our cultures, herritage and history and none of their own to speak of, in European sports, especialy football. European sports were never business first like in the USA. It is sports first, entertainment and business second. Fans are actualy fans/supporters, even ultras, not just spectators. Sport is a way of life, not just something you happen to stuble upon with your drinking buddies.

All the players must put in their transfer requests. No AC Milan fan should set foot on any staduim where AC Milan is playing. Instead we must gather outside the staduim and protest for the return of Maldini. If the investors do not want to work with Maldini than they must sell the club. Forza Milan. Sempre Milan!!!

    I had felt sad when Ibrahimovic was retiring during the Hellas Verona match and then this had to happen the day after his retirement. This dude had Milan fans go from being sad to angry within a day. He came to this club not even knowing about this club or its history and not aware that we have second most champion's league. Where was he when Maldini came in 2020 to help bring Milan back to UCL, winning a scudetto? For me, Gerry had to do this on the worst day possible after Zlatan's retirement to give a bad news and this taints his retirement for myself. Right now, I have never felt myself go through both emotions in a span of a day like this.

    I met Maldini in CARDIFF. We went to their hotel before their friendly match with Man united. we were with Milan London Fan Club. We were told that they will send in a few players to meet&greet. Borini, Leao, and Silva came in... They were kind, nice and friendly. I loved Leao in the first sight. Full of energy and smiling. He was not a star he is now. But you could sense he is the boy. Then, Maldini stepped in. I could not control my emotions. I took maybe 4 pictures with him. We were like 20 fans, he stayed for about 20 minutes. Signed shirts, scarfs and everything. He was smiling, kind and friend the whole time. I lived with that emotion for the rest of my summer. I still get goosebumps. Thanks for sharing yours. ForzaMilan

    I never knew I'd be so pissed off at sports news. Never knew I'd be near tears and the last thing I'd expect it to be was for Milan firing il Capitano. Still couldn't wrap my head around this when I learnt of this on the local radio this morning. I'd be rooting for Inter for the first time this CL Final and the coming season for the first time in 25 years. That's how angry I got. Forza Paolo

    I thought Gerry understood the assignment. He said RedBird has the responsiblity to keep Milan at its highest level. He said he wants to win and will do anything for Milan to win.
    Whatever he's cooking right now, it better be worth it because he destroyed what Maldini has built over the past several years in one night.
    What I'm fearing the most is that when Gerry decides he wants to make Milan "profitable" and starts selling the most valuable players like Leao, Theo, Mike to expedite the statdium construction, and then sell off the club to the highest bidder.
    I personally don't like "oil money rich" clubs climbing the ladder to success, and I thought Milan was slowly recovering without support from rich owners, the correct way. I guess we were better off with rich owners as per the success of New Castle.

    Maybe nobody will read this but I have to say this
    My thoughts on the situation of the management:
    I am not against the decision of firing Maldini and Massara from their respective posts. Here's why: when we are to judge Maldini's position as a technical director we must judge him based on his abilities, characteristics, and qualities as a technical director and we must not base our judgment on what he has done as a player.
    Maldini and Boban's signings in 2019 were masterstrokes. Theo, Bennacer, Leão and Kessié were signed, who are great players right now. Also, the signings of Krunic and KjÊr also worked fairly well. He brought Ibra in January 2020, and his arrival transformed the mentality of the Milan squad. He also chose to stick with Pioli instead of getting Ragnick. The next summer he brought Tonali, Kalulu and Tomori which were great signings again.
    But the 22/23 mercato was a big failure. MM could have signed players like Enzo, Botman, Kolo Muani and Dybala, instead they chose to sign CDK and Origi. Yes the budget given to them was only 50 million but we could have signed Enzo, Botman, Kolo Muani and Dybala for that much. The only good signing they were able to make was Thiaw. The rest are flops or players that are not Milan quality. By January it was clear that we needed a new right winger and the winter mercato was an opportunity to sign a proper right winger, but Maldini refused to do so. Though he was apparently not given any funds by Gerry, he missed out on the signing of Tsygankov who was available for like 4 million and is doing great for Girona right now.
    Before the Inter match Maldini asked for some signings to make a leap in quality. But, it seems like the Geriatric Cardinale is giving only a 50 million budget, which is embarrassing considering that we made 125 million from the champions league alone this season, and we also qualified for the champions league next season, so that will be another 40 million in the coffers. However in my opinion, Maldini is making the same mistakes as he did last season. It's not hard to understand that spending 15-20 million for RLC is not the right thing to do. I've explained why before. There are/were many quality players available for free like Uribe Ceballos Dahoud, Tielemans, Gundogan, Laimer who are all better than Loftus-cheek. Luckily Real Madrid wants to keep Brahim DĂ­az, or else Maldini would have wasted another 20-25 million on him. The rumours suggest that Maldini wants to sign Arnautovic for 5-8 million. We have been linked to Arnautovic more than we have been linked to a starting striker. How can MM concentrate on signing a third choice striker more than signing a first choice striker? If we make these signings that will 45 million gone right there, with no starting quality players signed.
    Yes the 50 million budget is quite low but when you think about it, it's not even that bad, it's actually more than enough. We can sign Berardi for 25 million, Scamacca or Thuram on loan or for free respectively, and Fofana for 25 million. Those are three starters signed for 50 million. And when we add in another 20-25 million that I expect to get from sales(Origi, Messias, Ballo, Rebic, perhaps even Pobega), we will have a 75 million budget. Which is more than enough. But if we think that we need a larger budget, we will have to make a big sale. But think about this, Tomori is English so by selling him to some prem club we can get at least 50 million. We can replace him with Danso who will probably cost 25-30 million. That will give us an additional 20-30 million to spend. That will be a 100 million budget. But Maldini would have never done that. In my opinion Maldini is too emotionally attached to the players, and a little too stubborn to realise when he makes a mistake in the mercato(I think that he said something like that when enquired about the January mercato). With a new technical director who is more cynical, and less emotional, we can sell CDK or/and Tomori and we can further increase our budget. Perhaps I'll post a few more squads each with different sets of players within the the 50 million budget, to show that we don't need a 70 million budget to have a great mercato.
    But, Maldini does a good job at attracting players, he was the reason Theo joined and LeĂŁo renewed his contract. He is also good at negotiating, and was able to get many loan deals done on mostly favourable terms. But pertaining to choosing players, Maldini is quite hit or miss to be honest. Apparently Moncada is going to be given a higher position, which I am content with.
    Maldini was instrumental in dragging us out of the banter era, but in my opinion we can do better, and we need to think with our brain and not our heart.
    Please don't curse me in the comments but I am actually happy that Maldini and Massara are no longer our directors, and that Moncada is going to get more power. However, I wanted Maldini to stay as an ambassador of sorts, because of his ability to attract players, or have a position which allows him to negotiate. I am okay with this move as long as:
    ‱ We can somehow convince players like Leão, Theo and Maignan to stay (who apparently joined because of Maldini)
    ‱ Gerry allows us to offer at least slightly higher salaries.
    ‱ Gerry allows us to make big signings as long as we make big sales(we don't exceed the original budget)
    But yeah the manner in which Gerry fired Maldini and Massara after everything they've done, was very disrespectful.

    Kush, i told u so. I have been saying to u in this comment section that Gerry cardinale is planning to fire massara and Maldini when he made that shocking comment on the day of UCL semi-final against inter. What a self-centered and arrogant man! This man got AC Milan their freaking serie a title for the first time after 10 years. Damn you elliot management for leaving ac milan in the hands of gerry cardinale. These players including rafael leao re signed the contract believing in the project that Maldini and massara is building. Now, i don't know whether those players will remain in the club. This man was about to bring kamada and ruben Loftus cheek, then gerry pull this backstabbing move. Gerry cardinale came into the ownership of the club for 1 year and after which this is assessment. It ia cardinale fault that milan didn't win serie a, coppa Italia and reaching UCL final. Maldini was saying that he needs investment to take the club next level and what cardinale does he puts the blame for all milan failure on him, when it was otherwise indirectly. I am just heartbroken kush, i feel kicking something that how angry i feel. Cardinale destroyed whatever Maldini built in AC mi lan. Who is he? Does he even know who maldini is? Does he even know that ac milan is the second most successful team in UCL? I have been saying but kush u didn't believe me that Gerry cardinale is thr guilty party for Milan failure.
