I would think coach Ward turning down the offer stings the Milan faithful a little with him being from Milan. BPM, after your response earlier, I read the Milan paper. Sounds like they are being very conservative with the salary for the next coach. If so, this may cost Milan and may have to settle for an assistant with no previous head coaching experience that is wanting to make a name for himself. (and I am not saying an assistant coach, if hired, would not win at Milan.....there are very good assistants out there that is very capable of winning)
