My problem with Mourinho is not that I think he is a bad coach, but I think he just doesn't perform good enough, looking at his huge salary. And let's be honest here, Mancini got paid a lot less, and got more or less the same results.

I'm sorry but that coach list just disgusts me...

It's sad that in football the phrase "the grass is greener on the other side" takes such a deep meaning.

Mourinho was right about Serie A and how fast coaches get sacked over here. It's not even his second season, so far he's been a success but people want to sack him and scrap his whole project that he's trying to build. Getting a new coach solves nothing.

I'd rather a coach with serie a experience also and not just UCL. This is why the likes of SPalletti and Prandelli make more sense to me because they know how to develop their tactics when needed compared with Blanc who might get eaten alive in serie A.

jube didn't seem to eat him alive few days ago :)

Inter Will Not Be Leaving The Field If Juventus Fans Abuse Mario Balotelli – Jose Mourinho

Following recent suggestions from captain Javier Zanetti that Inter could potentially leave the field should Mario Balotelli come under further abuse in Turin, coach Jose Mourinho has looked to quash such thoughts ahead of next weekend’s clash.

“I will make the trip to Turin with my mind focused solely on the game,” he declared to Corriere dello Sport.

Despite the decision not to impose a one match home ban on Juventus following the recent chants during last weekend’s encounter with Udinese, the Inter coach admitted he fully expected such a stance to be taken in light of the coming fixture.

“I was fully expecting such a decision, just as with the one taken towards [Douglas] Maicon with his two game ban.

“I am upset about not having Maicon for two games, but I am happy at the decision not to ban the Olimpico because I would prefer to face the Old Lady in her own stadium.”

‘The Special One’ then gave his stance on the possibility of leaving the field early should such chants be heard again against the Bianconeri.

“I have studied the responsibilities of a coach during a match. Therefore if I call the boys in prematurely we will be handed a 3-0 defeat by default.”

The Portuguese tactician has quashed suggestions from captain Javier Zanetti that the Nerazzurri could walk off in protest if there is any abuse aimed at Balotelli...

In my opinion, Mourinho should not be fired, even if we lose Serie A and don't make it to the second round of the CL.

He is building a team over here and it will take time. I say give him the benefit of the doubt. No matter how good a coach looks from here, he will have the same troubles that Mourinho had.

Where would have firing Mancini gotten us after our first few years?

I don't want him to be fired,but when he came i thought he's the one that can bring us the CL but now i'm starting to be pretty sure he won't,not this year,not next,not in 2years time nor in 3.
i really don't know who can,or if it's a matter of coach or not...

we're doing as good as the season where there was no competition, how can you guys say that there is no progress when no matter how much milan or juve improve they still can't close the gap because we are improving by the same amount

Selling out Kaka and buying Huntelaar improvement? Well, yeah we did try to fill the gap by buying RQ and Mancini but we still got alot to go to fill that one.

pato became world class, nesta back from injury, nesta silva partnership, ronaldinho showing flashes of his former brilliance once in a while, and oh yeah, we sold ibra who was better than kaka at that time and still is

and what about juve? the only reason they suck now is because of injuries and because they are being compared to us

saying we didn't improve since mourinho came is just ignorant and shows how someone's judgement can be clouded by personal preference, compare inter - liverpool and inter - manchester a year later, we were by far the worse team against liverpool but against manchester ( who are a much better team btw ) nobody would have said that we didn't deserve to go through had those two shots gone in instead of hit the woodwork, and i'd also like to add that those were the same squads except mourinho's squad was a year older and had more dead weight

Roma blew their biggest budget since Cassano on Baptista and can't sign anyone now. They lost Spal as well. Totti aging out and constantly getting injured doesn't help. Their defense backup up by Burdisso and Andreolli makes it even more laughable.

Milan completely lost Nesta last season as well as Kaka and Gattuso for half seasons, and they are only being nurtured back, except for Kaka who is sold. How does that make these two years more competitive than the season the players acutally did play on the field? Dinho doing five good games out of two seasons doesn't even come close to what Kaka contributed at his peak. Throw in Pato there and Kaka's contribution still outweighs by far. Don't tell me you are serious to call silva imrprovement over Maldini. Their fund froze while losing Ancelotti and is led by a scout that didn't even plan to be a coach. Yay for Huntelaar.

Juve.. what about them, Melo? Amauri? Tiago? Poulsen? Almiron? over aging out and retire-near/retired Del Piero, Trez Camo and Nedved? Ferrarra lost in between 4312 and 4231 must be an improvement since Mourinho lost in between 4312 and 433 seems to be so according to others.

How about you looking back to 0607 and actually tell me the competition and improvement that supposedly happened? Last time someone argued with me only proved that he never watched 0607 serie A. I hope you do better.

and i'd also like to add that those were the same squads except mourinho's squad was a year older and had more dead weight
Thank you for at least admitting our squad stepped backwards on the first season. That's a start.

VLE... We are ultimatly better this year due to us not relying on Ibra anymore... We play more of a team based game now and you can't deny this. This Inter is the best one since Calcioppoli. Adding Sneider, Motta and Milito were brilliant moves and regardless of who Juve bought we completly countered them. Injuries have really effected us this season so to see us still on top with no luck shows that Mourinho DOMESTICLY has kept thus team on top. CL is obviously a different story...

Then I'm assuming you won't excuse Mourinho when we lose due to sneijder missing, because we are now more a team than one man based team?
ps. I'm just hoping these 'oh shit now league is so competitive' talk stops from those who didn't even watch the games 2 or 3 yrs ago after laughable transfers made by our supposedly rivals, and my post was more or less about that.

1. Mourinho is not getting fired and he is not going anywhere
2. Our euro form under Mourinho is atrocious and he deserves the criticisms
3. Our squad is a little better than last year but we switch from Ibra dependent to Sneijder dependent

Am I the only one who find it laughable when Jose's and Mancini's team are always compared on their performances against Liverpool and Man Utd? Forget which performance was better; the idea of comparing 2 teams using just 4 matches as a reference is just senseless. On the subject of improvement, I honestly think we have improved from last season but it's not as if we were at our best in 08/09. That team was completely Ibra dependant. I disagree that this team is Sneijder dependent, just because we lost against Barca without him, we must not forget our victories against Bologna or Livorno that were achieved without Sneijder. And for me, the most important factor is that, even though he was too late and didn't do enough research in the first place, at least Mou noticed the midfield problem and is getting in players to fix it. That's why I think it's ridiculous that some of the members here are making up lists on who to replave Mou. Seriously, Blanc? Prandelli? Freaking Spaletti? Jesus Christ...
