He was amazing at Inter. It’s a shame it had to end this way!

Speaking of Hazard, he was saying the worst about his time with Conte. Not that it will really matter as he doesn't seem to have future at the club.

Conte's biggest problem at Real is going to be the mentality of the organization. Counter-attacking football and going into-ultra defensive mode after taking the lead may be tolerated in Italy but this certainly won't be the case in Spain. Especially with public set to return next season. Real Madrid crrowd is very demanding. Results are enough for them. They also want to see beautiful problem.

Furthemore, winning the league may be considered great success at Juve, Inter or Chelsea but not at Real. They're used to challenging for CLevery season. And that has been Conte's main weakness throughout his career.There will be no more excuses for Conte at Real. He will have to deliver in Europe.


Real Madrid has always been a counterattacking team, what they're not is a coward team like Conte, so parking the bus again inferior teams like Conte did all the time here won't be tolerated.

Tuchel with a worst team than Conte had took Chelsea from 9th place to CL spots in the Premier League and won the Champions League against Guardiola's Manchester City.

That's a top coach, not this pathetic coward gobbo di merda.


Also like I always have said, coach stability is highly overrated, what you need is the right coach. If the coach isn't good enough it's better to change him than just give him more time.

Lmao their benchers would be core players for us.

Kepa Arrizabalaga
Wilfredo Caballero
Marcos Alonso
Andreas Christensen
Christian Pulisic
Kurt Zouma
Mateo Kovacic
Olivier Giroud
Callum Hudson-Odoi
Hakim Ziyech
Billy Gilmour
Emerson

Please look at that list again. We dream of Alonso for years and he didn't start. Even the backup of that bencher Emerson is our wish next season.
Ziyech, Kepa and Pulisic are 180m combined. Then Kova...I haven't even touched their starters :yao:

i dont think any of those guys would start for our team. Perhaps one of the LWB, but thats it. Pulisic and Ziyech dont fit the formation.

Also, those 3 dont play like they are worth 180M. More like 100M, cause Kepa aint worth a thing. Its also Premier league, so the prices of players are just insane. United paid 90M for a fridge.

They are asking players to take 10% pay cuts. They are agreeing… unlike ours.

So the whole reason he left Inter was bullshit

I think the reason Conte left was the fact it would have been difficult to replicate another season like the previous, with the club not only refusing to re-enforce the team but selling key players.

The pandemic has caused alot of cash flow issues , but sunning's approach demonstrates a clear lack of passion for our badge.

It does not help matters that a jumped up daddy's boy is left in charge of the most important and critical positions

Those are not the point. The point is, Chelsea have the luxury of spending more cash on their bench than us for our starting lineup. Blaming Conte due to squad quality is ridiculous.

Remember how it went on in the previous Mercato. We signed Hakimi, and ran out of money. Conte had to choose free transfers here and there to fill the holes.
In that same Mercato Chelsea spent...6 times more, 250m for 5 players.

Had Marotta had that kind of cash, our squad would be 2x stronger than atm. Then you can compare Tuchel Conte and such.

Yea, well a last placed premier league team can spend more than us. It would be nice if we could spend like city and chelsea, but as an inter fan i know we cant have nice things.

i mean, that sentence kinda seems a bit ludicrous even in itself. its hardly like the 'british mafia' are a well known international organizaiton

mafia aside, you can argue about club ownership, but broadcast revenues are a different thing. these were well on the rise, and ahead of italy, even before abramhovic took over chelsea, so i dont think the argument stacks up. it really kicked off with the launch of the premiership in the early 90s. took a few years to catch up with italy, but rapidly surprassed

It's all in the Regulations my friend.
Come and spend your dirty money in our country but make sure you tip crown (stamp duty) and make sure you leave enough beer tokens for the MP's.

Or we can go down the russia / Cyprus route. Lol

and tbf there are attempts to close down many of these routes now, for example companies need to ultimately be traceable to individual ownership, or unexplained wealth orders. there's a lot more to do still, but its in progress


Honestly, if I'd laundered money into UK property in recent years, I'd be really concerned that it'll just get UEO'd away to the crown. HMRC are going hard on data analytics and machine learning to detect tax anomalies, too. It's only a matter of time before every property and individual tax and corporate return is risk ranked.

Yes, but don't forget Chelsea has a ban for at least 2 transfer windows. They couldn't buy anyone. And in the same time they sold Hazard to Madrid for ca 100m. So no surprise they were able to spend north of 200m.
I would say again and again, for Inter not the spending was the problems per se. We had too many bad deals!

Better late than never I suppose!

Hopefully they clamp down on the massive multi national corporations getting away with paying minimal tax.

i think things like minimum tax, global tax, and unitary tax are definitely coming, having been pushed on by the paandemic. You need the US to lead on it really because as soon as they introduce global taxation for their companies, it becomes much less effective to cross charge on the international companies, and actually their corp tax rate is already higher than the UK - so you're better off paying UK tax on your UK profits, than US tax on your profits shuffled to the Cayman.

Bear in mind as well in the UK we now have >100% tax relief on capital investments for things like manufacturing equipment, no corp tax hike for the next few years, etc. The intention is to grow our way out of the debt, rather than tax our way out, which isnt a bad idea IMHO but Im no economist.

Tax incentives for green energy too.

At least we are doing something productive.
