If this goes through, it shows Boban and Maldini being in over their heads after a decent transfer campaign.
That is basically the case with the whole club. Giampaolo was out of his depth and was not given the kind of squad he needed, Maldini lacks experience in his role (and apparently got in a fan's face in Genoa, screaming at him), Gazidis destroyed Arsenal and is now doing the same to us, and Elliott are a bunch of Americans with no idea how to run a football club. Add to that an inexperienced squad with massive expectations placed on them, and you have a recipe for disaster. The only two people I trust in this mess are Boban (yes, really) and Massara.
Boban has been working at the highest level of the football world for a long time, and I have no doubt that he knows what he's doing. He even said at the end of the transfer campaign, in an unusually diplomatic way, that we were missing experienced players. He was right. He was the first one to start doubting Giampaolo, and he was right. He did agree with Maldini to hire him in the first place, but I also think he was expecting a different transfer campaign than what we ended up having. As for Massara, he's got enough experience that I trust he knows how to do his job.
But to be honest it doesn't matter, we're still completely fucked.
