The Fires of Heaven

"The market is closed"

Reading back on some of the posts, i really don't think people should expect Maldini to directly replace Galliani. Maldini will be the bridge between the players and management IMO. Galliani's replacement might be Prade/Sabatini/Whoever. Galliani is a businessman, you can't replace a businessman with a footballer. Galliani's business mind is unparalleled in the world of football. We need someone up there with the conceptual skills that will transform us into a dynasty. I'm extremely happy for Paolo, but we shouldn't start celebrating just yet. We still don't have a clear idea to what capacity Maldini will operate in, and we still do not know who else is coming.

" Ronaldinho ? Impossible "
" Ibrahimovic ? Impossible "
" Kaka ? Impossible "

This summer : " We won't buy any strikers , we have Pazzini " .

Before that :

" We will replace Robinho with a young striker , we will definitely not sign a 32-33 year old striker "

Close to the end of 2008-2009 season : " Ancelotti is staying "

his trolling is endless

Twitter just blew up with Silvio refusing Galliani's resignation

Silvio Berlusconi: "Galliani will stay at MIlan."

Reports Silvio Berlusconi has rejected Adriano Galliani's resignation. More to follow.

Berlusconi: Galliani will stay in his place. Serenity and a unity of intent has returned to Milan


Let the soap opera continue

i've been saying this mid november at least. Paolo will have a different role , it's just Galliani who does too much and people get confused. There's no way Maldini will become CEO or Vice President , nor he will deal with transfers first hand. He should be a technical director , meaning a sporting director . That's what they do , keep an eye on the team and bridge the gap to the management. Galliani does that on his own , hence why we don't even have this particular position in the team.

Let's see what will happen though , Berlusconi says Galliani is going nowhere. Whilst i am ok with this , i seriously hope this doesn't hinder Paolo's arrival at the club. That would be the worst news ever and if Berlusconi thinks what Galliani did isn't good for our image , then making all this noise and not signing Paolo would make us a laughing stock.

I think Paolo should join regardless what Galliani does .

Seriously , if they leave Paolo out because of this i will evaporate from anger .

Berlusconi confirmed he is staying

His greatest troll yet

 

But . Lady B isn't going anywhere . It's safe to say here he's still leaving after the season is over .

Berlusconi: "We have reached an agreement about how to organize the club: there will be two CEO's: Galliani and Barbara Berlusconi."

Berlusconi: "Galliani will deal with the sporting sector, while Barbara Berlusconi will manage the other sectors."

Silvio Berlusconi: "In regards to myself, I have promised to be closer to the management and the team."

I really hope this doesn't mean we are going to exclude Paolo

I would be pissed if Maldini will not arrive as a sporting director...

i was so looking forward to times when we remove incompetent players, allegri, and improve other areas.

this is highly unlikely to happen under galliani. this is b.s. after causing all that drama

I think this is exactly what it means. At least as far as this season goes. Obviously we can't replace Galliani right now , so there's no point complaing about Maldini as of now. He's just part of the people that should replace Galliani and most if not all of them are currently working.

Actually , i believe Berlusconi did the right thing , such drastic mid season changes are very riskfull and costfull most of the times. To sign them all right now we would need a fortune on compensations . Let's see what the future has in store , but i doubt 2 CEO's and with such poor relation is going to improve anything. Berlusconi may have made Galliani accept the sharing of power , but the fact is the club is in need of Maldini's experience in football , knowledge and influence.

There are certain things Galliani can't do and i entrust all my hopes on Barbara to bring in Paolo when possible , regardless of Galliani. I am not sure what Galliani has with Maldini , but if i had to hazard a guess , it's because Paolo would walk in his territories in his new role and such stuff . I can't tell why the actual fk he doesn't want Maldini involved , but there are certain things Paolo would bring to Milan that nobody else can bring over there and i am pretty sure Galliani himself knows that.

The fact he agreed to stay on , should mean that he agrees with the decision his partner in crime Lady B has opted for and normally , we should still see Paolo in Milan at some point , BB intentions went widespread clear yesterday. I am relaxed after what happened and i am sure Maldini will get back into the club , but we have to be patient.

ffs, I should have waited a little more before changing my avatar  

There are conflicting reports in the Italian Press on Wednesday that Milan sporting director Ariedo Braida has resigned.

Stories emerged from several sources earlier today that the board member had handed in his resignation at the Rossoneri.

Braida’s current deal ends in June 2014, but Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed that he had asked to leave the San Siro side immediately.

However, the Milanello Twitter account have claimed that Milan have rejected his resignation.

Braida has been responsible for bringing the likes of Kaka and Frank Rijkaard to the Diavolo. But has faced criticism in recent years for taking a more sidelined role in recruitment of players.

Bloodbath in the boardroom: Barbara goes after Galliani, Galliani dies, comes back from the dead after being resuscitated by Silvio and then Braida jumps out the window before he is pushed.

There is also speculation that Barbara has gone behind Galliani's back to contact Sogliano, though the disrespect shown to Adriano aside, I would be in favour of this.

Daes Dae'mar

Braida hasn't been doing any sort of significant work for Milan for years now . He's just watching matches with Galliani from time to time and takes trips for supposedly "scouting reasons" , which always result in nothing .

After all that's been happening , his turn for critisicm arrives and he immediately grants his resignation , like beign caught ffs ...... Before that ? before that , everything was cool , enjoying his money , the trips , matches and all

I've said it in the other thread , before the talk comes on Braida. It's beyond comprehension what is he still doing in Milan , he just exists on the payroll.

We are a circus

Gandini should leave too.
