Tuttosport: A sign of breaking point – further Curva Sud protests expected

The Curva Sud have made it clear that their previously unwavering support for AC Milan is no more, and new protests are expected.

As Tuttosport (via MilanPress) reports this morning, straw that broke the camel’s back was the draw against Genoa on Sunday night. The Milan fans have been discontented for some time beyond that but chose to stay supportive towards the team.

What has happened in the last few days though has created a real rift between the Curva and the ownership/management. The protest began at the end of the match and continued when the team arrived for the 125th anniversary dinner.

It is not likely to subside after that, as per the paper. The relationship between Gerry Cardinale and the Rossoneri fans is at an all-time low. The management, who were booed even before the match, are not exempt from this hostile climate either.

The banners and chants are born from disillusionment with the current project on and off the pitch. It is not just a question of results either, but also the high price of tickets reported by the Italian Milan Club Association (AIMC).

The images of these days have gone around the world and have also reached the USA. Both in Verona in the away section and on 29 December at San Siro against Roma, the real thermometer of the situation will be seen.

  1. sad part its so easy to run a football club. hire competent people to do their job. don’t fire the most respected man in the history of the sport (who’s done an amazing job no less). i emailed jerry this a while back (he didnt respond)

    1. the treatment of Maldini is shameful. Sometimes it seems fans of other clubs respect/love him more than some of our own fans do……unacceptable.

  2. Protest in Milan and a protest in front of his office in New York would be nice to see. Show him he is only the custodian of our club and his time is up. Sempre Noi. #cardinaleout

  3. This is what people who have no life whatsoever do. People who do nothing, accomplish nothing, have nothing of any significance or purpose at all in their life and their entire life revolves around “supporting” a football club. Get a life Curva.

    1. If that is your attitude towards supporting a football club what the hell does that tell about you daily commenting here on SempreMilan then ? don’t waste your time answering it as it was a rhetorical question.
