Wrong approach for a club like Milan. What Rangnick does takes time and patience. If we are unwilling to give Maldini time, then how the hell would we be willing to give Rangnick time!? He'll be castrated at the first sign of trouble. It'll be a missed project yet again. Not because of his inability or whatever...but because they won't give him time. And then, a year later, it'll be year zero again.
Just let things be for a few years. Let's see what happens. Maldini just started working. Half the time he's been dealing with "leftovers" from previous directors and managements. Have patience. That's the only thing that'll save us. There not a single director or coach on this planet that can turn Milan around within 1 year. You can't erase years of incompetence, shady deals, and just flat out negligence in 1 summer or 1 year.
I'm not saying this because Maldini is our legend. Sure, naturally i'll have a weak spot towards him, but that's not why. We've been changing things every year. From the roots. We've seen the results of that and they've not been good. We have to learn from our mistakes. The club needs stability first and foremost. Any project needs continuity. At least at the core of the mindset. Otherwise stop calling it a project. As long as we are moving towards the right direction, then the work needs to be supported with the understanding that it'll take time.
I'm not saying to just sit and watch incompetence and give it time. But I don't see incompetence from Maldini. I see someone that alligned the goals of the market with what the ownership/management wants (younger players). I see someone that made a mistake in choosing the wrong coach and wasn't afraid to admit that and fix that mistake early on. I see someone that's surrounded himself with people like Moncada and Boban. I see someone that's been decisive in the market in pursuing players he believes in (Theo + Bennacer)...but also someone that's disciplined enough not to throw stupid money on players when they are valued way over their worth. Someone that from day 1 insisted upon a few experienced players but wasn't necessarily allowed to spend too much on them. With time he was proven right and nust look at what Zlatan's presence alone has done for this team.
None of this is incompetence. All of it is good, solid work. Sometimes things will work out and others they won't. But the fact is, that it's is movement in the right direction and it needs time.
