AC Milan's Curva Sud turn on Galliani with furious statement

AC Milan fans are turning on general manager Adriano Galliani.

Milan are again facing down the barrel of missing out on Champions League qualification.

The Curva Sud group declared in a statement:

"The architect of the team's construction is the general manager, who despite being forced to work within tight economic limitations, acts in the total absence of a project.

"He pays huge wages for players of dubious value or even throws away the little transfer budget he's given on terrible buys like Matri (paid as much as Juventus got Tevez for), moves like Torres or other fake players presented to us as if they were champions.

"We also do not understand the situation with Mexes, who first was frozen out, then brought back and even promoted to captain on occasion, given the chance to prove he's probably our best option in that role only after the others showed they are not up to the task.

"The general manager spoke of a youth project to improve the squad, yet immediately sold Cristante and Petagna to bring in young foreigners who were paid much more and didn't get the best out of our youth academy.

"At this point we ask the President to invest in Milan again, but also do what all good companies do and that is get rid of the person who is really responsible for this situation.

"There are too many failures now and it is too obvious how the fans are moving away from Milan."
