Ultras released a long statement tearing apart every club owner, director and advisor for their part in the disastrous season during today’s mass protest. ‘We will not let you destroy our Milan again.’
The Rossoneri will conclude their campaign by hosting relegated Monza at San Siro this evening at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT, 20.45 CET).
While there will also be protests in the stands during the match, over 3,000 supporters gathered outside the club headquarters this afternoon with banners and chanted insults towards the group of directors.
The calls for RedBird chief Gerry Cardinale to sell up and leave have been going for months, but the focus has now turned to everyone behind the scenes.
The Curva Sud handed out a fanzine with a statement, which will also be presented to fans coming into San Siro this evening.
“This is the best response we could give, because there is no curva, club, red, orange: there are only Milanisti and Milanismo. Things that those in that building have forgotten a long time ago.
“We are back in this square three years after celebrating the best Scudetto ever. After celebrating the return to the Champions League along with Paolo Maldini.
“Last summer, they wanted to take things into their own hands, with arrogance, not listening to the words of the fans who wanted someone with a strong profile like Antonio Conte. They settled for those with a low profile, mediocre, abandoning two coaches to their fate. Paulo Fonseca found out he was sacked from journalists outside the stadium.
“The first guilty figures are Paul Singer, who arrived as a saviour and just tried to earn from Milan. Gerry Cardinale, who used Milan for commercial ends, forgetting we are in Milano and not New York.
“Giorgio Furlani, a fine lawyer, but totally unsuited to lead a group. We can thank him for crashing out of Europe again.
“Paolo Scaroni, who for years has been at Milan with the sole objective of a stadium project that hasn’t moved from Square One. He is not worth a thousandth of those who preceded him.
“Ibra the big boss, so loved as a player, so unsuited to being a consultant. To blame for the Milan Futuro disaster. Moncada, who aside from a few good signings, put together a series of dismal decisions.”
The statement went on to urge the directors to simply “leave your places to people who know the profession, hopefully people who support Milan too.
“You have killed the passion of millions of fans, annihilated Milanismo to boost revenue, treating fans as clients and tourists to fleece.
“Today the Milan fans present the bill. Pay up and leave as soon as possible. We will not let you destroy our Milan again.”
The Rossoneri are set to finish outside the European qualification places and lost the Coppa Italia Final to Bologna, which had been their best chance of at least making it into the Europa League for next season.
They started the campaign with Paulo Fonseca, firing him on December 30 to bring in Sergio Conceicao, who is also expected to leave at the end of the season.
