if im correct they got crespo at the time
you cant compare parma at that time with cagliari that allegri manage
True, but not like Parma was a mainstay in CL or Europe. They were in better position than Cagliari in Serie A.

Milan is never short of legendary players who can expand the brand worldwide. Why can't we purchase a dozen football clubs globally and let youngsters play in different leagues, coaching them with Maldinis, so that young talents will have an express channel to get influence from our legacy and chance to promote to one of world best teams? Some solid players do not shine even before 25, we can't keep them in Primavera till then, nor it's good to loan them to clubs to whom they are alien property.
It's true Barca has huge debts, but what if they sell or morgage their B teams? What if Real has no overseas property and those ambiguous money injection?
The simple answer to that is money and arrogance. Berlu lacks the mentality of moving forward as he constantly believe that his ways of running the clubs is the best way due to all the Championshops. True but that was then and this is now. Another huge problem is money. Running a so call B team off shore costs a lot of money while the return could be nothing. I would not do that even if I am Berlu. What I would push is to up the age of Primavera to U23, that way players will have more time to develop both on and off the pitch. IF they are good enough, then promote them to first team.
