Think the funny thing about this is that Milan are used to be able to use the weight of their reputation in order to bully people into getting their way but i think they have seriously underestimated LA Galaxy because i really dont think they care who Milan is or what their history
most likely true.
is because they have no great history of football and therefore have no conception of Milans history and dont give a toss about it!
i doubt it has to do with having "no conception of Milan's history." i doubt you intended to offend but that sounds more than a little patronizing; maybe Milan are hiring ;)
in my opinion--as an American--it has a lot more to do with LA perceiving Milan to be colossal arrogant cunnies who are so smug they expect everything they want handed over on a silver platter, just because, well, they're
AC Milan. (cue awed gasps). definitely not an attitude that will impress Americans. rather, more likely to piss Americans off. i expect unlike Europe, where clubs are used to caving in to player demands, there's a significant chance that the club may tell Miss Beckham "you have two options: 1. you play for us. 2. you don't play." i doubt i'm the only American who will lose respect for them if they bend over and take it from Milan.
