Antonio Conte

[brightbackground]

Who knows with this guy. At the end of last season everything seemed fine too, then last match with Atalanta and BOOM! He goes crazy mode and starts flinging shit at everybody. It wouldn't surprise if after we win the scudetto his PMS acts up again and he walks out the door telling Zhang and Marotta to go fuck themselves.

Inter Bench now :

Can you see the differences ?

I'd call that extremely unlikely.

Unless Zhang comes to Italy to lay terms what are the targets for the next season "and by the way you won't get a big mercato Antonio, instead we need to sell one of your big players, suck it".

That's pretty much what I expect. In fact if we can avoid selling any of our big players we should count ourselves lucky.

I`ve stopped watching full games recently season because it`s boring.

What in the fuck of Jesus is this heresy?

 

[ADRossi]

I've fucking sat through 90 minutes of an attacking trident of Rocci, Alvarez, and Guarin. I once watched us lose to Crotone with a double pivot in the midfield of Kondogbia and Medel.

How people easily lose their memories.

less than 2 years ago we barely got the 4th. I had to endured torture in the last game with Spaletti against cesena or something.

Now people about to complain that we won't winning the CL blivious:

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah

It's like, we are winning the Scudetto for fuck sake. We weren't winning anything few years ago AND we weren't playing that pretty either back then. So I don't quite get this thing. Winning is more interesting than losing.

If one just likes the spectacle in football then by all means, as this Inter might be a bit boring. But that's a different perspective then, compared to the general thing for example in this forum, which is to follow this one club and how does it fare on the football world.

That was exciting in its own way.

On a serious note, don't discount how the lack of fans affects people watching, as the appearrance of exhibitions that these games have just makes this far less exciting to follow.
But that's for neutrals, I don't see how an Inter fan could switch off here.

I have the utmost respect for people who watched Inter matches during the second round of 2012-13. It was the first, and only, period as an Inter fan i had stopped watching matches. They were so painful i couldn't take it anymore. For me only the matches under Mazzarri came close to that but i had become immune to shithousery by then.

 

[Sabotage]

so the rumor is the FIGC is allowing 25% of spectator capacity by the end of this season, it would be nice to see Conte celebrate with the fans

I've always found some reason to watch Inter even during the banter era. The main reason was just to see how some of the young players are doing. Like Kovacic, Brozo, Icardi etc., and the hope that some of them will become Inter's leaders in future. For me the most difficult for watching Inter was during some parts of Mancini's second tenure, when we played Kondogbia- Medel- Melon kin of shit midfield and Spaletti's boring possession football with Vecino, Borja as AM and 5G + endless crosses by Candreva and Perisic.

I remember watching matches and literally counting out loud how many passes we made in succession. Rarely did that number go above 3.

Going from Maicon, Samuel, Sneijder, Eto'o, to Schelotto, Juan Jesus, Kuzmanovic and Rocchi in just 3 years.. just imagine where we'd be today if we reinforced our squad back in 09/10 instead of doing nothing.

I used to do that in the past, especially in pre-2006 years. Even in the 1998/99 season with the 3 different coaches or the shitshow under Tardelli there were players who made you watch Inter games. Ronaldo, Baggio, Zamorano, Recoba, Djorkaeff, Seedorf, Vieri. In the period i mentioned the only reason to watch Inter games, apart from being a hardcore Interista, was Kovacic. The quality of the starters in that period was incredibly low.

Anyway, back on topic. Unless Suning sell Lukaku Conte will definitely stay next season. Suning won't fire the coach of the first Scudetto since 2010, Conte isn't going to leave 13m net on the table and i can't see where else he could go. He can't go to Juventus, it wouldn't make any sense to go to another Italian team and there's no top job available in EPL. Conte's best option is staying at Inter.

It was unavoidable. Moratti spent till his last drops and forced to sell to Thohir. He clearly could not sustain the record salary for too many 30-35yo and cut cost.

There was no core youngster in the treble team to rebuild.

We all knew we needed to reinforce, maybe even sell a few players... but Moratti spent so much over all the years, that what happens after 2010 didn't matter to him anymore. He got his CL.

It's good that he sold the club, since we all got the feeling he didn't care as much anymore.

Moratti's financial situation wasn't pleasant in the 2011-2014 period. It is looking far better now than it was in the late 2000s, by the way. But still don't see it as an option to return, but I'd like him to get a minority share in the hope that his son can lead us to another Champions League. Would be a great storyline.

 

[.h.]

I'm not familiar with Moratti's financial position now, but the Saras share price is basically low than it has ever been in history.

But, yes, Moratti's financial situation in the late 00s was a disaster. Spending +200mil capital increase on Inter every year didnt help. This is why I will always push for this club to be financially self-sustainable. We, ideally, needed an owner who could have exploited the 2010 treble the way you see clubs do in England. I remember when we won it, people were speculating we might get up to +100m euros revenue increase because of additional sponsorship, prize money, etc. In the end, I think we actually made very little additional revenue outside of the direct prize money?

I think it was at some margins. As far as remember Moratti rewarded most of the treble heroes with new hefty contracts. Benitez rang also the bell that the team needs a fresh blood but Moratti laughed at him. He could have done better imo.
