Dessverre en god beskrivelse av situasjonen. Helt utrolig hvordan dette har falt sammen på de fire årene Cardinale har eid klubben.
Utrolig å tenke på at det gikk så latterlig mye bedre når klubben var eid av et investeringsfond..
Four years ago, Gerry Cardinale became president of AC Milan.
He inherited a Serie A-winning side that looked ready to build a lasting cycle of success: a young and improving squad, guided by two highly respected executives in Paolo Maldini -the embodiment of Milanismo- and Frederic Massara.
Just one year later, Maldini and Massara were dismissed without explanation. Power was handed to Giorgio Furlani, a finance executive with no real footballing background.
From that moment on, in the span of just three years, came the dismantling of the sporting project and the erosion of the club’s identity. A constant cycle of arrivals and departures, no continuity, endless internal power struggles within the hierarchy. Too many figures focused on everything except what was best for Milan.
And in the space of four years, the club went from winning the Scudetto to finishing eighth and sixth. It was not an easy task, but Gerry Cardinale somehow managed to tear Milan apart in only three years.
