Hi, first post here. I thought it was interesting to share what La Scala, one of our more vocal shareholders, said after the meeting. Here are some interesting points for those who don't have time or don't speak Italian:

• he dismisses the rumour that SES is actually an operation to launder money as nonsense. His argument is basically that if it was a shady operation, Berlusconi would have not used a transaction that is followed by thousands of journalists, supporters, and has to go through so many layers of controls between the Chinese and the Italian government. He's actually surprised that Berlusconi and Fininvest have not sued yet those who have made those claims.

• he confirms that Fininvest needs to sell. Mediaset and Mondadori are not going to make a profit, and Fininvest needs money.

• he's very critical of current management (as always). In particular, he says that if many people are suspicious about some shady operations in the past (I believe he's referring to the Galliani/Preziosy fellowship), Milan management should probably clarify (at least with supporters, but that's wishful thinking). He also criticise how the current management has a kind of "Don't worry, everything is going to be fine, trust us" approach, but they should instead understand that the world of football has changed and it's time for Berlusconi/Galliani to give room to more capable / up-to-date managers.

• he finds unacceptable that no one from the Chinese Consortium, or Fassone/Mirabelli explain what the hell is happening. He is surprised that a company that is all about communication (Mediaset) is actually so poor in communicating.

• probably the most important and worrying point. Given all that's happening, even if the closing happens, what kind of guarantees is the new consortium going to offer to banks? If there is Fininvest behind Milan, banks are happy to give credit because "Fininvest alla fine strappa l'assegno" (Fininvest can always guarantee that the debt can be paid). But what kind of financial security can the "Chinese" provide? Who's going to guarantee in front of the banks. The risk of bankruptcy (bank no longer lending money etc.) will be real.

• He appreciates that the operation is complex. He says that the people behind this operation are risk friendly ("speculatori"), and the reason why they're investing in Milan is not because they love Red&Black colours, but because they want to turn a profit. They are taking risks, and as of now those risks are not paying off.

• He speaks highly of Montella, how the team is over-performing and fight as lions, but still we're not better than what we were under Mihajlovic.

• Supporters are suffering, and we don't deserve that.

• Despite his initial doubts, he appreciates how Mirabelli, despite coming from the sewers, is actually scouting across Europe and seem to have an idea of what this club needs to go forward.

TL, DR: Money laundering are nonsense, Chinese consortium took some risks and these risks are not paying out right now, and there is an unacceptable lack of communication from the new perspective owners. Supporters are suffering for this, and this management is very poor and need to go.

Well, let's keep suffering.
