Will AC Milan ever be great again?

There’s only one thing that rules today’s football and it’s money.
I personally would start by assuming that for the next ten years there won’t be any success. ACM needs to build a long term plan, especially reinforcing the chinese/asian presence. This should increase revenues that in turn lead to more solid financials that allow for higher market expenses.
I would then focus on the network of scouts around the world. ACM in the past had a strong connection in Brasil, that brought kaka, thiago silva, Leonardo etc just to quote the latest big players that flourished in AC Milan.
By paying little these new prospects we can either build talent or fuel the market season by selling talent and reinforcing areas in need.
Slowly AC Milan should in 3–5 years reinforce the italian presence to compete in the Scudetto title. This means that our presence in the UCL will not be in jeopardy eveery year, and with it the hundreds of millions from TV rights and marketing exposure.
meanwhile we also need to build an own stadium, and focus on a sport director with a long term plan.
Sadly nowadays the director cannot plan longer than 2 years, due to high pressure to get back to former glory, but ithink a slower growth is needed, like Juventus from 2006 onward. They followed a 8th place right after relegation, but then started building a strong core team with specific reinforcements every year. They now stably compete in the UCL aiming for the Final.
This year was meant to be a bit better than what the final outcome was (Europa league), however we HAD TO completely change the 11 starters, and some mistakes are bound to happen.
I would push in this direction, if FFP and society's money allow us to. We now need a strong forward, reinforces in the midfield with more quality and muscle (kessie cannot do another season like this one, 55 games is too much) and start prepping Plizzari for 2–3 seasons from now.
In terms of short action i would get rid of Kalinic, Donnarumma, perhaps Andre silva depending on the World cup, Jose Mauri and other players, and focus on obtaining on only starters but also bench players capable of changing the game.
An example would be Cutrone, not yet ready to be a starter and perhaps never will, but he has the potential to break games starting on the bench

Which footballer has more money than Ronaldo?

Image
Answer: Faiq Bolkiah When you think of the world's richest footballers your thoughts immediately deflect to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo , Lionel Messi and Neymar - not a 19-year-old kid who plays in Leicester City's reserves. Faiq Bolkiah, nephew of the Sultan of Brunei (Hassanal Bolkiah) - who is worth an estimated $20billion. Faiq Bolkiah is a Leicester City player. The winger has yet to make a first team appearance. Bolkiah has represented Brunei at international level. Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah. To give you an idea of Bolkiah's wealth you need only look at his father, Jefri. The Sultan of Brunei's brother has reportedly splashed out roughly £10bn in 15 years as head of the Brunei Investment agency. And, at one point, Jefri was apparently spending a staggering £35m a month on cars, watches and white gold pens. The Leciester winger's father was also believed to have owned as many as 2,300 cars - including Bentleys, Ferraris...

Who Is/Was the Best Barcelona Player Ever?

Image
Not to undermine any of the wonderful players that Barcelona had over the century, Johan Cruyff and Lionel Messiah do deserve special mention. Johan Cruyff was not just an Ajax, Barcelona and Holland legend. He was a football legend. But plenty of famous footballers have retired with bulging trophy cabinets. Cruyff was different. As both a player and a manager, Cruyff was an innovator, often tearing up the rulebook and coming up with new, ground-breaking ways of approaching the game. Forget tiki-taka. Long before Barcelona and Spain's trademark tactic, there was the Ajax and Holland team of the 1970s and their unique system of "total football". Led by Cruyff, their style was based around quick passing, quick movement and constant rotation of position. Sound familiar? Cruyff was basically Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta rolled into one… forty years ago. He was the first player to win three ballon d'or. Yeah, Messi has five. But long before he was eve...

How would it be if Zlatan Ibrahimovic was still in PSG?

Image
If Zlatan was still at PSG, there was a huge possibility that PSG would not have gone for Mbappe or would have offloaded some other player (maybe Cavani or Di Maria). However, since the question does not explicitly mention anything, I will assume that the question wants the answer with respect to this lineup - Neymar, Mbappe, Zlatan , Cavani, Draxler, Di Maria. Obviously all of them cannot be accommodated in the same starting 11 at a time. Zlatan is ageing. So, I cannot see him starting for all 36 Ligue 1 games or all the UCL games. If Zlatan was still there, he, Cavani and Mbappe would have shared the two forward spots among themselves with all 3 being there in extreme situations when the team desperately needs goals. That would have made the lineup a nightmare for opposition defenders as if their current attack is not scary enough. Though it is highly unlikely that Mbappe could have come to PSG in such a situation as the starting spot would not have been so much for grant...
