AC Milan's owner, Silvio Berlusconi, took over the club in the late 80's, and pumped in lots of money. As Italy's richest man (and just by chance, the Prime Minister) he was able to buy many great players. Under his leadership (as the club's president) there were many winning seasons.
However, after Milan's abysmal season, the fans are not happy. As a result, an online petition has been written and signed by at least 2,000 fans, demanding that Berlusconi sell the club to someone more willing to spend their euros. Galliani, Milan's current president, has been saying lately that clubs in Italy don't have enough money. I think this is ridiculous and Berlusconi should have no problem forking over 45 million euros for some more decent players!!!
In case you are interested, go here to sign the petition. At the bottom of the page, click on FIRMA, and then it asks you for your name, email, comments, etc. I didn't sign it, because, I don't really care, it's not really my business, and a new owner might not want to spend his money either...
*Please note, that no matter how it sounds, I am NOT a Silvo Berlusconi fan. The only thing that is like-able about him is that he is really, really rich, and sometimes spends his money on good footballers.
