AC Milan and the estrangement of the San Siro fans (Part One)

Milan have come under hot waters as they have indulged themselves in some mega sales over this transfer window and we look to see how they have made amends.

With greatness comes great expectations, and this is exactly what has come to bite Milan in the rear following unprecedented selling in the transfer market. There have been many names being labelled at Milan, and many have resigned themselves to the fact
that the club has become a feeder club to the elite of the European clubs.
Bettor.com will delve into the various events that have triggered such unhappiness within the Milanello fans and what amends the club is trying to make to make merry with the club’s faithful fans.
The resentment began after the Rossoneri failed to give Andrea Pirlo his desired number of years in his contract, and after such a lengthy service to the club; the club were insensitive to the matter and did not budge from their single year extension where
Pirlo wanted two.
Andrea Pirlo went on to move to Juventus and inspired the club to become the Serie A Champions. Pirlo had the highest number of assists in all of Serie A, and his performances in the 2011-12 season was the best response that he could give to Massimiliano
Allegri and the Rossoneri board who deemed the midfielder to be past his prime.
The fact that Pirlo pipped his former club to the Scudetto and stripped their title as the holding Champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 only served to further intensify the disillusionment between Milan and their fans.
Furthermore, there has been a massive exodus at the club this summer which has seen several legendary stars leave the Milan outfit as the club released them. Only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Massimo-Ambrosini-c24579 remains from the squad that lifted the UEFA Champions League in Athens.
The major exodus at the club was anticipated before the season started as the news had filtered through that the several stars would be leaving the club or being released by the club. There were twelve players that have left the club this summer. The legends
that left the club were the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Clarence-Seedorf-c9275, Gennaro Gattuso and Pippo Inzaghi.
Only Inzaghi was offered a role at the club and he has been appointed as the club’s coach of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montreal-Impact-c39946. Clarence Seedorf has gone to ply his
trade in the Brazilian League and signed up with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gennaro-Gattuso-c14525 has been the most vocal about his departure from the club and has lamented the changes that have come about at the club.
Even though Gattuso was offered an extension to his contract, he did not sign the extension as he did not feel like he was being given the due importance. He went on to comment that the dressing room environment had changed for the worse and rules were regularly
being broken.
Gattuso’s rant did not do the Rossoneri any favours as the club’s faithful started showing early signs of dissent. A player who has served the club for thirteen years has a great number of fan following, and given the fact that Gattuso is known for his no
holds barred approach, there have been cracks appearing in the club, at least in the public’s eye.
The second part of this article would have other reasons behind the alienation of the Diavolo faithful with the club and the amendments that the club has sought to make.
