Exactly. What happened to "we will do whatever it takes to bring Milan back to the top"?
To me it looks like he is starting to look for excuses and feels the fire under his feet. He's trying to save his own ass and excuse the work he's done so far.
IF management truly have the mind set of recent Mirabelli statements then we are 100% finished. I can't believe I am typing this but ....B&G had an excuse at least for looking at Italian and modern Milan history because first B is Italian second B&G created the 80s, 90s teams. F&M are supposed to be backed by outside money and very clearly came in for change, sorry it's not even debatable that their task was to rebuild Milan and not talk about glorious history stuff, hence the young team rebuild and quickly confirming someone with no relation to Milan (Montella)

We're finished anyway. One can't spend 200M in one year and expect "that's it ,I'm rebuilding and bringing back old glory". He needs to provide few years in a row with investments like that into rebuilding squad. To provide new 200M for upcoming summer and to buy 3 proven top class players (2 in midfield + 1 attacker) to integrate with this we already have. Those who were starters this year move to bench and release on free (or sell if you find fool to pay for them) 3 craps from current bench. You improved both ,first team and bench. Since that's not going to happen I hardly can imagine how next season will be any better than this one. We already started to collect some craps (Strinic ,this guy from Swansea ,etc)...they're of course for bench ,but what's the point? They're not improvements comparing to craps we already have. And it will be same old story all over again ,just with different names. When first option is unavailable or in bad form ,crappy replacement will have no impact. We need to upgrade ,not to stagnate or downgrade. I don't see any reason to be optimistic for next season. Wish to be wrong ,but...
Avaiting for arrival of exorcist into our boardroom.
Sporting director Walter Sabatini confirms “I want to start again” but won’t discuss links to Milan.
I am not entirely pleased with Mirabelli's performance so far. I had some qualms even during last summer when he was making signings. But I am also willing to wait till I form a final decision. We are going through yet another bad patch and it is very frustrating but I don't blame him for everything and if he tries, I am sure he can redeem himself and this situation.
