He is a good manager, so not sure what is going wrong with his side. Milan isn't as good as before, but certainly isn't as bad as their league position suggests now.
Their current position in the table is the result of a systematic gutting of the team. Allegri is a poor manager in my opinion, though. He seems like a symphatic guy but he's completely out of touch with the times. He's got two main cons:
1) He builds limited teams who rely too heavily on physical attributes while ignoring the finer technical and tactical points of the game. You can't play that sort of football in 2014 and expect to succeed.
2) He doesn't do well with budget players.
Even back when he won the league he had Ibrahimovic as a hub up front. He couldn't have found a better player in the entire world all things considered. Ibra is the impossible union between Allegri's idea of athetical superiority and the modern, technically superior striker. He powered up the entire team in the final third with his creativity. They looked lost without him then and they look lost without him now.
