Maldini Milan, kicked out because the situation didn’t suit him: the expert’s opinion. Intrieri’s words on the matter
Given the confusing situation that reigns at Milan with the fierce criticism of Stefano Pioli, who is increasingly distant from remaining on the Rossoneri bench for next season, the theme relating to Pioli’s farewell is back in fashion Paolo Maldini last summer. Talking about it is Gaetano Intrieri, CEO of Aeroitalia, industry expert and AC Milan fan. His words to TV Play.
MALDINI’S FAREWELL – «Only those who are blind do not see the situation. Maldini was kicked out because this situation didn’t suit him. Maldini wanted Milan at the top, he understood that without serious reinforcements Milan would not have been able to compete with Inter and above all they would not have been able to compete in the Champions League at the highest levels. His ambitions have clashed with the income statement imposed by Elliot and since Elliot is the master he decides».
ON THE INVESTIGATION – «A deal has been made between Elliot and the RedBird company, where it is said that a debt remains to be paid to Elliot. It’s like if you go to buy a house and the bank lends you the money and puts a mortgage on the house. Here, since we are not talking about a tangible asset such as a house, but about a sports club, it is clear that within that contract there will be governance that protects the creditor. Elliot does these things, there’s nothing wrong with it. If you ask me nominally, on paper, who the owner of Milan is, it’s RedBird. Those who sell say ‘I’m selling you something that’s mine, I’m selling it to you with my money, you have to give me that money back. Until you give me that money back, it is clear that I have to protect the asset and I do it through managers I trust».
