I don't understand how it's viable for some new owner to spend so much. Abramovic and Al Thani bought their clubs for less than €100m and then they went to spend say a billion euros on their clubs. These new Milan owners are spending that much just to buy the half the club only and they pledging to spend more on the squad 
? If the number are real then either this group is a huge charity or they are sure that Milan is going to explode to something like Madrid Barca or ManUnited.

btw klopp has some clear ideas about modern football. i can't see him keeping more than 4-5 players of the current milan squad. he'd require like a transfer budget of 300m to make this $#@!ty milan competitive again.
150 M to spend is a lot of money but they also need to buy a lot of players and so they'll probably buy one or two really promising youngsters and the rest will be meh. They need a new squad. All their current first teamers are bench material.
Edit: This article says 70-100 mill EUR to be invested for transfers excluding returns from player sales. Thats far from enough to make their team decent. http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calc...es-of-the-deal-between-berlusconi-taechaubol/
GK: Lopez, Abbiati (Ok)
Fullbacks: Abate, De Sciglio , Antonelli. (probably one of them at most is starting material)
CB: Bochetti, Bonera, Mexes, Rami, Zapata, Alex. (At the very most one of them should start)
Defensive mids: Essien, Muntari, De Jong. (only De jong can start, the rest arent even first bench options)
Attacking mids: Bonaventura, Montolivo, Poli, Honda ( maybe one can start)
Attackers: Menez, Pazzini, Shaarawy, Destro, Cerci (Again one should start unless they play with 3 forwards then 2 should start at most.)
Assuming a 4-3-3 formation they easily need. One top fullback, one top CB, one top CM, one top striker/winger. Thats 25 mill for each on the 100 mill budget which is far too little. Even assuming they to get top players in each position, they would still have De scoglio, Alex, Montolivo, Menez and Destro in their starting 11 which are all barely enough. Milan's current players are either squad fillers or bench players in a decent team. They are not like Inter where they have 3 talents with amazing potential (Shaqiri, Icardi and Kovacic) supported by good players like Hernanes, Palacio and Guarin. Inter would be threatening with 100 mill. Milan would barely have a decent team.
