I lived in Toronto during the Vince Carter's era of the Raptors. The Raptors pretty much allow whatever Vince wants...like sending the company's private jet to take Carter to his graduation and back the day before the most important playoff game in the season. At the end, Vince left without Raptors getting any decent returns. Now, you look at Clevland and Lebron, we all knew what happened there. Same with Kobe and Lakers, or Bonds with Giants, or Cesc with Arsenal, or CR7 with ManU.......
My point is not Ibra did a horrible thing, rather it is the team itself having problems. If Milan is spending justly, not 100mil a yr, but about 40mil investment each summer(fair injection from a top 5 clubs in the world). If Milan is getting QUALITY players, Ibra, Silva or whoever won't be saying Milan needs better players....or Milan needs to spend money....
The problem is not Ibra opening his mouth, it is the lack of funding in the team. What makes matter worse is the fact that Juve, who needs to pay back their stadium, no CL football for the past 4-5 yrs, and have huge payroll(considering their income.) can manage to spend more money than Milan over the past few yrs. Galli might be a great deal/bargain maker but he is pure crap when it comes to financial management. Berlu also needs to know that he either sell the club to someone who is willing to spend or spend himself or just rebuild the team from ground up once and for all. Since now, I look at the current Milan as a team on life support(Silva and Ibra) wishing a cure(free or bargain players turning into WC players) will be found in the future instead of a team(like Juve) on its way to Glory.

Does that mean, Milan will be champion instead of Juve?
My friends, ManU fans, are complaining that ManU are being cheap with Kagawa, as Dortmond wants 16m and ManU is offering 13m. Wait till they hear Galli's offer, loan for 1st year(Dortmond paying half the salary) then 8mil with 4 installments with no interest. Thats exactly why clubs do not want Milan to go after their players while clubs love Milan to be after their target, b/c Milan just makes others offers look great.
Very good and fair points, though I think these are 2 separate issues. The first issue is the lack of proper reinforcement within Milan. This is a known issue, not just in Italy but throughout the world. We're also not the only ones struggling either, you just need to see the sorry state Inter are in to know this. I want to see how Juve spend this summer, but again I wouldn't be surprised if they end up spending relatively modest amounts given the financial climate. Our lack of finances are a big problem, but these need to be dealt with within the club.
The second issue is Ibra talking to the press about these things. As a professional, he should know better than the publicly comment on his employers finances and lack of spending on reinforcements. He's free to raise this issue, but it should be done privately within the company, not through the press. This is generally a matter of lack of professionalism and ill discipline of a player who is very much a face of the organisation. In pretty much any other profession, was an employee to publicly make statements about the company's finances without any consent or make comments that put the company in a bad light, then that employee would be sacked immediately. This is precisely what Ibra's done and the club should discipline him. If the club is to make a fire sale of Ibra, then I don't think anyone can complain as what he's done is a very serious offence and shouldn't be treated lightly.
Ambro's also been interviewed today where he says in no uncertain terms that Ibra does stupid things (obviously in reference to his recent comments).
