Ahead of the game between AC Milan and Lazio this evening, the club CEO Giorgio Fiurlani spoke to the media and conceded that the season has been a failure. He also took responsibility for the situation as ‘every decision passes through me’.
It has indeed been a very poor season for the Rossoneri, getting knocked out of the Champions League against Feyenoord and sacking Paulo Fonseca mid-season. And despite several signings in January, they have still managed to drop too many points.
Speaking to DAZN ahead of tonight’s game, as transcribed by MilanNews, Furlani conceded that the season has been subpar despite the Supercoppa Italiana win. While highlighting that they are all to blame, he took responsibility as the decisions pass through him.
Curva Sud will be empty, the mood is clear… How do you rate the season?
“At the start of the season, expectations were high, the premises were there. We haven’t done what we wanted to do so far. In all honesty, the rating is decidedly insufficient, despite the Supercoppa Italiana win. We have to look forward, we can’t go back. We have to close the season with honor, starting from tonight.”
Have you given yourselves an answer internally?
“When performances are so low, there isn’t just one factor to blame. The truth is that we are all a little guilty, I certainly include myself in the mix as all decisions pass through me. The disappointment that the fans have, we too, in the club and the team, have.”
How much truth is there to the sporting director rumours?
“As I said, we have to improve our sporting results a lot. If there are figures that we can bring to the club that will help us achieve the results we want to achieve, we will consider them. At this time, no decision has been made on this profile.”
Heavy atmosphere?
“We are all disappointed with the performances, but we are also united: only with unity can we get out of this situation. There is no Furlani-Ibrahimovic case, there is no case about the coach or his replacement… Now we are all focused on working hard, being tough and finishing the season in the best possible way.”
Most would argue that the Champions League train has left the station already, but either way tonight’s game is the last chance for Milan. It’s also important to remain in the Europa League race, which says a lot about the situation.
This one betrayed Milan
Hire the SD already then so he can start working on the revolution needed.
If there are figures that we can bring to the club that will help us achieve the results we want to achieve, we will consider them.
Well, there WAS.
The only revulution and Solution we need is to get the f… American Owners to sell the club thats it nothing else, with this owners we will be a rank 2 club whos out only for mere profit.
I still can not understand why did they changed something which was working. How come our more than decent scouting system ended up bringing so many flops. Cukwatze, RLC, Musah… TJ and Fonfana are also quite limited. This is 130M.
Because when arrogant or over confident owners come in they feel the need to put their stamp on their new “toy”, this usually involves sweeping changes from top to bottom (Maldini being fired, they wanted him gone as soon as they came in due to differences on the way forward but kept him because of the Scudetto). Once he failed in the transfer market (CDK Origi) they had their justification and brought in their own people (their people have failed far worse than Maldini but I bet you out of the 3 at least one will remain despite all of them messing up royally)
We are united around the fact that nobody is here to stay except of the players who can not earn halve of their salary in other clubs.
Please fired this clueless noob asap.
Leave.
All of you incompetent expensive joke of a management.
Now even Roma that had an awful start of the season is ahead of Milan.
The answer is not the coach and will not be the sporting director, as long as Zlatan and Cardinale are in Milan the team will be in limbo mode.
Furlani is the root of all our problems.
It was Furlani who interjected and stopped Elliot when we were about to sell to Investcorp and came up with the idea of Elliot selling to Redbird instead because Redbird needed the 600M vendor loan from Elliot and Investcorp had their own money. Furlani came from Elliot. He is their spy. Secretly Elliot would love for Redbird to default on the loan so they can buy the club back and resell it again for more profit. This guy is a snake. Doesn’t care about our club just about lining the pockets of Elliot and his own. He will never be fired – Elliot won’t allow it. He is there until Elliot is repayed all their vendor loan.
That’s correct.. glad we shared the same view on this
I think is not so bad like most of the fans thinking. the problem is that they expected results for ‘now’ from Sergio Conceicao who is manage the team. it doesn’t work like that.
.
this coach take responsibility for his decisions, has got high standards and values of work, the same as quality on right level.
.
let’s give him a time and to this team and results will come. however, after season we should think about some replacements in the squad. that’s all.
.
Curva Sud calm down, because I’m the big supporter. 9 points to Lazio is still nothing.
Traitor.. this is the one who kick out Maldini..bloody bast**d.
Toxic environment they create to suck money
I totally agree with you‼️Americans out‼️
Don’t forget he’s also the one who forced Tonali to leave and accepted Newcastle proposal.
This guy is a snake!
Can’t stand this pig’s face. He’s the first who should be going.
Agree….👍👍
