From what i read, they were lucky to have beaten Southampton at the San Siro.
How the mighty have fallen but weren't AC in a far worse predicament a few years back?
Yeah, they've had really bad issues with ownership and management (Initial sale of the team collapsed, Maldini turned down the offer to become their director etc.). I think Berlusconi is still trying to finalize the sale of Milan. Hiring a good manager in Montella and playing the youth has been the reason why they're doing much better than previous years.
As for Inter, they got the money, but the management has been awful (apparently, De Boer didn't want Gabigol and they still bought him). There's been news about the Chinese owners being distant from the club and disagreeing with Zanetti and their director favoring Pioli. The advisor for the Chinese is Kia Joorabchian, who even made a presentation to hire Marcelino as the next manager (and the Chinese want Marcelino)! I think they hired De Boer because Kia was his agent.
