They'd have to spend more money.

I don't get why Romeo's afraid either. What's Pioli going to do if he benches Cassel, fire him? He won't survive another in-season firing. Firing a head coach because he won't follow the GM's marching orders for one particular player (who stinks) is bad bad PR. Pioli doesn't want that at this point.
I'm baffled by the reluctance to make a move EVERYONE now agrees this organization must make.
