Summary: Joining Anto for a special examination of the fortunes for AC Milan at a very complex moment in its history is Matteo Bonetti of BeIN Sports, starting with yet another perplexing approach against three time Serie A champions Juventus and leading into the biggest issues facing not only its team sheet, but also an ongoing series of deeper questions that never get fully answered. The concerns begin with yet another untested Rossoneri legend as manager in Pippo Inzaghi and his capacity as a first team manager as the club struggles under constant financial pressures and an inability to follow through with a serious and distinct plan. The concerns for supporters are built on transfer targets with more budget concerns than sizzle, clear holes in the squad that have not been fully addressed and what exactly does the future hold in store given that youth strategies have not proved to be successful and a new stadium plan appears on the horizon. During this episode we also consider the key contenders for top three in Serie A, how some of the traditional mid-table sides have exploited an opening left by two Milanese giants struggling with the economic realities of shifting economics and Financial Fair Play with serious disadvantages. Also discussed are key outsiders such as Fiorentina and Lazio who could be dark horses for top three should the favorites fail to deliver on their promise and whether huge changes now face the Rossoneri this off-season including its under pressure manager and long term Milan CEO Adriano Galliani. This is an episode that digs deep into the troubles for AC Milan, yet also looks at how huge changes have opened new opportunities and now force Italian players to look beyond their connection to calcio.
