A Draw Worse than a Loss??
By: Gianfranco | October 5th, 2009I really can’t get all amped up or even remotely happy about this draw. This draw is bittersweet in the fact that this draw probably only prolonged the inevitable, like going away for the weekend with your soon to be ex-girlfriend to try and rekindle the magic, only to break up on the way home. At least in my scenario someone scores more than once…
It is clearly evident that Leo does not have the depth of squad to make this work, nor does he really have the knowledge to squeeze whatever potential or ability is left to this team. The fact that I have little left to say shouldn’t really surprise anyone at this point. I barely know what to think, let alone what to say or type or write or discuss. Really the only thing I can conjure up from yesterday is the fact that I couldn’t help but think Atalanta deserved the three points, or that our squad couldn’t beat the current worse team in Serie A down to ten men…do you feel terrible or desperate yet…I do.
Before I fizzle out here and go back to staring at videos and pictures of previous Milan teams to forget the current state of affairs, I want to say that for the first time as a fan of this Club I truly feel hopeless. I actually listened to Dinho fans try and portray this goal, this draw as a positive, well he saved us they said…we are beyond saving. Maybe I have dug myself such a hole I can’t even find a shred of positive light, but I do know that a game like this against Atalanta can only spell problems for the upcoming match against Roma, and worse Napoli whose backs are truly against the wall.
All and all this international break is hot and cold. Time for this team to train and hear more of Leo’s infamous discussion or further sink in the hole it has dug for itself. The nice thing is the usual swarm of Rossoneri players on International duty has slowly declined recently so while good teams best players are away, our players will be training together…think positive right…

Gian, ive already stated that keeping Leo as a scout would be a master stroke as after being the manager and struggling it MAY arm him with a better insight as to the exact talent required (but again ,its a no brainer as long as he’s young, gifted and oh so very fast!)

GF, while there are takeover failures, there are also very successful ones like Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham.
My 2 cents on the takeover talks; it’s a risk, but one I’m willing to take. Clearly, Berlu is no longer motivated to care about this club. He’s got his own problems to deal with. Plus, his comments about Milan are just ridiculous.

Having said, there is no denying whatsoever his achievements over the past 20 or so years. It’s time for change.
Also, on a goal.com poll (yes, I know not the best of sources for polls), about 70% of readers said Berlu and Galliani are to blame for Milan’s demise. That says a lot.

moka, I would be hesitant to call Man City or Tottenham a success, at least not yet. Not to mention look what Man City endured to get to this point. The so called “takeover” seems to be far more risky than rewarding but even if it does work, it takes time to establish a new system and new players, the plight of Milan is by no means an overnight fix…

Interesting poll Moka, but I believe that number should be closer to 100%. Take liverpool for example, the owners have given money and support and now they are left with a fool of a manager and a handful of really odd players save Torres and Gerrard…in that case Rafa is to blame, whereas Milan we are stuck with a legacy Brazilian and a bunch of has been Italians…so yes Fester and Berlu are at fault there 100%, but as easy as they are to blame, they can just as easily resolve the situation which is why full blown sale/takeover is seems FAR TO RASH at this point when those guys hold the power to fix it. Granted if they dont want to fix it, then we have a problem, but even then a sale is not guaranteed or required…

Yea that is true GF, but do you really have faith in Berlu and Galliani? Do you think they’ll improve the squad in January with someone other than Beckham? (love the guy, but we need more than just Becks)
The past few summers have been epic fails, and Galliani covers it up with the whole economic crisis, as if it only affects Milan. The only positive thing that happened after 2007 was Pato. Negatives? Loss of Kaka, Ancelotti, Gourcuff, Cissokho, Fabiano, among other things.

Totally understand GF. I think the best option would be for the delusional Berlu to step down and have someone else take over. Someone that has time to care about the club. Perhaps his son?

This guy wanted to buy Bologna and is now switching his attention to Milan
Sorry, but i gotta say NO WAY!

I read about Finnivest’s 750 million euro fine, and I laughed and laughed. I used to have respect for Berlu but he’s gone down the crapper faster than my own cooking. I know a change in owner is scary, but we have to try something new so that down the road we can say with evidence whether it was for good or bad

Wait… that wasn’t exactly a sound argument. What I meant to say was that all it is, is speculation right now whether a new owner is bag or good. But a new owner would shake things up and I think Milan needs that for sure.

Avia, Genoa is a really good team. I dont know how losing to them is as bad as even drawing Atalanta?!
And weren’t we some where close to this point be in the top 2-3 spots in the table, even after 2 losses in the opening weeks. I dont remember when the Napoli game was but we went top of the league after it.
And lets be honest, there is no need for you to be mad at Ancelotti for saying that especially since we all know its true.

are our finances linked in anyway to fininvest’s? that kind of fine will screw anyone and anything up..even if you are silvio berlusconi you can’t have that kind of money lying around..this will have to come from sale of assets ( $1.11 billion fucking dollars..holy fucking shit) by the way can they appeal? not to talk of divorce and economic crisis..

Garry – Finnivest is the entity that owns most of Milan’s shares so yeah, it’ll screw Milan up big time.
This Taci guy is sounding better and better…

K – my point was more aimed at Carlo being shocked at our bad start when he set the record for our worse start to a season!
What about the Ferroro guy?? I’d rather have him throw his hat in the ring tbh

yeah but avia, if asked that question, its not like he could say, “well, they really suck and did not invest any money in the transfer market so their current position is hardly a surprise.”

I wouldn’t mind Taci…
he looks like a true fan.
and being that he is a Billionare, he may be very willing to throw big money into building this team back to its former glory!Posted from
