Can all of this be over soon?
Commisso wants to buy Milan, and Li needs to sell it to someone before Elliott Management begin the process of taking over the club. Elliott is going to sell it to someone else anyway, might as well sell it to Commisso now before any deal gets further mucked up.
This is all embarrassing and dumb. Make it go away, please.
