And after that's all over, they'll go and sign Lippi.
So what if they do ?
You guys really think Lippi will give to Milan much more than what Ancelotti gave them?
Ancelotti was the creator of this generation of Milan players and he won so much with them. The latest bad results in serie A are hardly his fault. Berlusconi was the one who vetoed the transfers of Ribery and Toni to Milan, hoping he'll sign Ronaldinho. It's Berlusconi's policy to keep the oldies in Milan. Ancelotti is helpless here.
If Berlusconi and Galliani are the ones who take care of the transfer policy then Lippi can not do anything more than what Ancelotti does with this team.
I'm sure that if Ancelotti gets the players he wants he'll be as succesful in serie A as he is in Europe.
As long as i'm concerned Milan can go sign Lippi today. I'm really interested to see how well he'll do with Maldini, Cafu, Serginho, Brocchi and the other 30+ players. And how well a coach like Lippi will do with 10 Brasilians in the team.
Lippi is not the God of coaches. We've seen that in 1998/99, we've seen that in 2003/04 and we've seen that in his Inter episode. One of the top 5 coaches for sure, but so is Carlo Ancelotti.
Let Berlusconi and uncle Fester take care of Milan's transfers. Let them keep Maldini, Dida, Favalli, Cafu and Serginho for 3 more years. Let them buy veterans like Ronaldo and Emerson instead of Ribery and Toni and i'm ok if they sign Lippi.
