Goodbye to all the Old Guards
I think it's a question a lot of people ask somedevil, I know I do too. It's not like these guys haven't shown a lack of capability as all of them have achieved a level of success in their careers after Milan.

I'd maybe argue that right now, Filippo Galli is one of the biggest success stories of old players doing something of value in the club, as he's overseen the youth development project.

I think it comes down to those at the top, specifically Berlusconi and even more Galliani not wanting to cede any level of control or have anyone who could potentially be a threat. It's unquestionable that Maldini would be seen as a major threat to undermining their position, again mostly Galliani's, given his understanding of the club and his outspoken nature.

Totally forgot about Galli.

So was doing some random browsing today and came across two articles about Paolo. What a hidden business tycoon he turned out to be. So not only does he have his clothing business with Vieri and the Miami football club. He is apparently also in business with Boban and of all the people, Liam Gallagher.

This sentence really made me chuckle. "Boban and Maldini have become the leaders of the Croatian frankfurter market, with close to 50% market share."

I believe Maldini also opened a hotel in the US in the last year or two

And we can't hire this guy to work for our club when he is offering his services? Insane.

It still amazes me to this day that it was done without Costacurta, Baresi, Van Basten and Lentini.

His comment on loving pressure stuck with me, considering how few of the current group are able to cope with it.
