Alex and Menez already in. Is Rami next?

Earlier this month, Brazilian international and former PSG defender Alex joined Milan on a free transfer after his contract expired with the Parisian club. The 31 year old arrives to Milan looking to add to his trophy case after winning the Ligue 1 title the past few seasons. The move is beginning to grow on us as Alex has been a solid contributor to Chelsea and most recently PSG. Alex gives Milan a formidable central defender who was given the nickname "The Tank." A big-bodied, physical defender like Alex who will hopefully partner up alongside Adil Rami next season in Inzaghi's starting squad, could be a key addition to an otherwise lackluster defensive unit for Milan.

In addition to Alex joining, his former teammate has decided to make the move with him. The French winger Menez has also joined Milan on a free transfer from PSG. The 27 year old arrives to Milan where he hopes to somewhat revive his career, similar to what Adel Taarabt did when he arrived at the San Siro on loan last Janaury. Jeremy Menez, winger, joins Milan as perhaps a reinforcement in the event Taarabt does not return. Taarabt and Milan are currently negotiating a permanent move for the Moroccan. However, the fee appears to be too much for Galliani's liking so the move is something that should be monitored throughout the next month. Menez has ability but sometimes he appears lazy and not motivated. Sounds familiar to Taarabt right? With free transfers, the risk in taking in such players as Menez is minimal with the exception of the player's wages under the contract agreement.Alex isn't the player I'm worried about, its Menez but I was wrong about Taarabt so hopefully I'm wrong here too about Menez.

With Galliani getting an early start on the rebuilding process for next season after bringing in Alex and Menez, is Rami next? Rami had a tremendous loan spell with Milan after joining in January from Valencia. His buyout option is €7mil and if Galliani wants to retain Rami, that would have to be matched unless of course Galliani doesn't want to come across with that money and decides to renegotiate the terms of the move. According to several sources, Galliani appears to be sitting around €3.5-4mil for Rami which would be an absolute steal for Milan given the scarcity of quality central defenders available on the market. Keep in mind, David Luiz moved to PSG with a record breaking fee of around €48mil so securing Rami for about 1/12th of that fee would be huge for Milan given their unwillingness to spend. Stay tuned.

Seedorf out, Inzaghi in

Clarence Seedorf has been relieved of his managerial duties just 5 months into his coaching career as Milan replace one former player with another, Pippo Inzaghi. Inzaghi was named as the new Milan manager this week when it was made official by the club. Inzaghi's contract will be a two year deal with an annual salary of €700.000. 

The news angered many Milan fans as the ongoing fight to keep Seedorf on for next season came up short. Milan will continue to pay Seedorf the remainder of his wages. But of course, Seedorf wasn't fired with class by Milan, according to some reports.

News came out earlier this week that Galliani and the Berlusconi's fired Seedorf via e-mail and failed to provide a "thank you" for Clarence's services.  Additionally, it was also reported that Seedorf was dismissed from the club's Hall of Fame, according to the official web page of the club.

First, if the news about Seedorf being fired from an e-mail is confirmed, Milan will have lost a ton of respect from fans. Second, a simple "thank you" would have sufficed. The class act retired from a game he loved with all his heart just to manage a club free falling. Third, to remove Seedorf from anything Milan-related speaks volumes about how disrespectful management truly is. But should we be surprised by the way they treated Seedorf, a legend of the club? They did the same to Ambrosini when he departed from Milan for Fiorentina as well as Maldini. 

Now that the Seedorf saga has officially ended, it's time to welcome in another novice manager (at least at the first team level) in Filippo Inzaghi. Inzaghi managed the Primavera side last year and has always been a candidate to manage Milan. However, it comes at time where the club is not in a major European tournament and when the club is no longer a dangerous side. Inzaghi comes into Milan in similar fashion to how Seedorf took over and one thing is certain, it won't be easy. 

Inzaghi will surely shake up the squad and the tactics for next season. Some players will be added and some will be sold in order to suit Pippo's game plan. With Alex and Menez already confirmed, it appears Inzaghi will be asked to field a squad that has a minimal amount of money pumped into it. Both Alex and Menez arrived on free transfers as their contracts expired with PSG. Rami and Taarabt's loan deals are still being negotiated by Milan as they look to retain them for....wait a minute....cheap. 

One manager out and another in. We welcome Super Pippo with open arms and we hope he can bring Milan back to being a major European side. Forza Milan. 

Milan: A Club Being Destroyed By Management

According to several reports this past week, Milan Primavera manager Fillipo Inzaghi is set to take over the managerial role for Milan, replacing Clarence Seedorf.  It has not been confirmed but it appears to be made official once Seedorf's severance package can be agreed upon.

This move is negative in the eyes of  many Milan fans as they want Seedorf to be given a fair trial. A legend of the club and one who hung up his boots to serve Milan when they were in turmoil this past January deserves a lot better. Because Seedorf doesn't obey every direction sent from upper management, he is being pointed to the door. They want a puppet but Clarence shouldn't be treated like one. What hurts is that it forces us to root against Pippo becoming a manager. We adore Inzaghi and appreciate what he has given to Milan. However, we don't want him to take over the managerial role at Milan because a club legend like Seedorf simply deserves a fair chance to prove himself.

Many have expressed their concern for a lack of direction and have become irritated with the treatment of club legends like Maldini, Ambrosini and now Seedorf. As a result, a social media revolt has erupted and many have made it clear that they will not attend the upcoming ICC matches this summer as well as refraining from purchasing club merchandise for next season.

As owners of the Milan Brothers Twitter and Instagram accounts, we have decided to not attend the International Champions Cup match this summer at Citi Field between Milan and Olympiacos. In addition, we will not purchase any more kits if Mario Balotelli, Mattia De Sciglio or Stephan El Shaarawy are sold this summer. This is a legitimate stance against management and what they are doing to a club that once dominated the soccer world. If you agree with us and will support our stance against the current direction of the club, please spread the word.
