The Petition Grows, and So Does the Discontent
The number of signatures on the online petition launched by AC Milan fans calling for the resignation of CEO Giorgio Furlani continues to rise without pause. It’s a clear signal of growing distrust among the Rossoneri fanbase towards the current leadership.
A Civil Protest That Deserves Respect
Some argue this is not the right moment to create tension around the team, that unity is needed to avoid negatively influencing performances on the pitch. It’s an understandable point of view, but one that deserves deeper reflection.
One thing must be made clear: the online petition has no direct impact on players’ performances. The team takes to the field to get results regardless of what happens off the pitch. Proof of this lies in the recent defeats and draws — against Udinese, Napoli, Parma, Lazio, Juventus and Como — which occurred without any active protests or petitions. And yet the results still didn’t come.
Stadium Support Never Wavers
It’s important to emphasize that the Rossoneri fanbase, even when challenging the club’s management, has never stopped supporting the team. Whether banners against Furlani or RedBird are displayed, the players are cheered and encouraged for all 90 minutes. Because the Rossoneri heart always beats for the Diavolo, regardless of boardroom dynamics.
A Moment of Reflection for the Club
The real issue, as the recent run of results clearly shows, is that AC Milan is going through a significant dip in form — lasting at least a month and a half — that has nothing to do with any external pressure. The petition is, if anything, a symptom of legitimate frustration: the thermometer of a fanbase that loves its club and wants to see it return to greatness.
What the fans are doing is a voluntary and civil protest, a democratic act that deserves respect and attention. Milan has always had one of the most passionate fanbases in Europe — and it is precisely this passion, even in its more critical forms, that proves how deeply the Diavolo lives in everyone’s hearts.
