Massimo Moratti

[Ed.]

That's a big if, not really fair for Moratti. If Juve hadn't cheated for all those years we possibly would have won a Scudetto in 98 and then some

Let me be honest, the only season I remember Juve clearly cheated is 1997/98. 2002 we stupidly gave away the chance. We went crap between 1998-2002 with stupid buys like Bruno Cirillo, Mikael Silvestre, Vratislav Gresko, Cyril Domoraud, Hakan Sukur, although we spent hugely on Vieri.

Things went better when Hector Cuper came. But, then Moratti went retards again: Sabri Lamouchi, Carlos Gamarra, Thomas Helveg, Francesco Coco, Jeremie Brechet, Andy van der Meyde.

Juventus not cheating =/= Inter winning scudetto

No calciopoli = no chance to win 5 scudetti in a row

We were not a contender for scudetto until we stole Ibrahimovic from Juve

Moratti is a poor director and manager.

Errr, bandiera, let me remind you that the Morrattis is still the second biggest share holder of Inter, so he definitely has some authority over this club. I think this time, the one should shut up is you.

 

[Javier Zanetti]

actually its completely fair to moratti. without calciopoli he would not be a "legend" of inter. with all the money he spent, we would have had one coppa italia and a UEFA cup. that would have been unprecedented to have won so little despite splashing over a billion euros in the transfer market for 20 years. thats on average 50 mill euros in the mercato EVERY YEAR. its of no surprise the evidence for calciopoli was acquired illegally by moratti and his contacts at TIM. he is not a gentlemen of any kind.

the club was run disgustingly poorly and it was a fuckfest of politics, nepotism, and idiocy. still wont forget how he banned bergomi, a true inter legend and one of if not the most loyal servant to the club, because "he didnt like the things he said with sky". the anniversary centenario was also disgusting. in the "grande inter" part, where scarpini invited the players who are supposedly the most important in the clubs history, he basically ignored most of the older players who were so important to the club like bergomi and legends like amadeo amadei, while he instead included classic moratti favorites like taribo west. to me that is a flat insult, complete disrespect to the players that actually deserve to be there. he also included a message from maradona who talked about inter for like 5 seconds at the very end, and for the rest of the video patronized massimo moratti for like 5 minutes.

of course he doesnt realize the celebration isnt about him because he is too much of a narcissist. he thinks he is bigger than the club. didnt he say mazzarri should have been sacked earlier because he was disrespectful to me? what a joke.

and juve were not the only ones cheating. get your heads out of your asses. they were massively superior throughout the 90s and early 00s.

The narrative of Juventus being the victims of Calciopoli and us benefiting from it is just gross, I remember so many ridiculous refereeing decisions that all somehow favored Juve, their use of GEA, I couldn't care less how the evidence was acquired and the way they boast the '33' in contrast to FIGC ruling makes me sick.

Back on topic, I agree with you 100% about Moratti as a person and his running of the club, no argument there.

Let me be honest, the only season I remember Juve clearly cheated is 1997/98. 2002 we stupidly gave away the chance. We went crap between 1998-2002 with stupid buys like Bruno Cirillo, Mikael Silvestre, Vratislav Gresko, Cyril Domoraud, Hakan Sukur, although we spent hugely on Vieri.

Hey! Gamarra was a decent back-up player imo

As I said above, agree about Moratti, not about Juve. You're cherry-picking here. They brought Calciopoli on themselves and they got off easy, they cheated way before 2005. Stealing Ibra? The way we got Ibra was x1000 more honest than how they collaborated with Cannavaro to pressure Inter for a move to Juve. Also we did win the Scudetto before we got Ibra, in 2006.

Yeah, the way I see it is that Juve rigged the game, Inter found out, wanted a part for themselves. Rube were like:"Fuck off this is our thing." Inter said ok and got them relegated, which was spectacularly smart. What we did with that advantage was both great short-term and terrible long-term, and that's where Moratti is to blame imo. He deserves a lot of respect before the Treble and non after it. Although even before the treble Inter was mainly poorly managed he still orchestrated Calciopoli well and had a good sense about Mourinho...

 

[wera]

A lot of us were fans before Moratti's Inter ever won a trophy. Also a lot of clubs that are 'smaller' now had big buys at the time - remember Parma?

So yeah, we cannot change the past and Moratti was the president at the time when i started supporting Inter. But when I started to follow Inter more closely (when i got my internet), I can safely say that i never supported Moratti and that I never liked him. If that is my unpopular opinion, who cares? The only thing I can be really grateful for is the Treble, but after that he mismanaged the club with his lack of planning and firing coaches.

Thohir has to clean the mess he made while still reporting to him, because that's Moratti's ego at his finest. He thought he was entitled to Inter because his father was the president too. Doesn't that bother you? What if he haven't sold Inter and he slowly destroyed the club?

And just because he poured his money into the club, that means nothing. ANYBODY WITH MONEY CAN DO THAT. It is what you do with money that counts. We already had this discussion - I do not hate Massimo, but I do have no respect for how he ran this club. He has his title of most successful Inter president of all time, which suits his ego, let him have that. Respect is something else I do not give lightly,

It's your opinion if you think Moratti deserves your respect. Just don't demand that from me.

 

[Adriano@10]

As i said you have all the right to criticize Moratti I m not saying he did not do any mistakes, actually he made lots of them. Still I feel like he does not deserve to be insulted by us interisti but maybe thats just me.

 

[Sassuolu]

Yes, Moratti was a mad president but he did what he did out of love for the club, he's a fan like all of us I can't begrudge him that.

The way we got Ibra was x1000 more honest than how they collaborated with Cannavaro to pressure Inter for a move to Juve. Also we did win the Scudetto before we got Ibra, in 2006.

The last time I checked it, Inter was rewarded the scudetto 2006, not won it.

I hate Juve to the core but saying we would have won scudetto if Juve didn't cheat is wrong. Truth is Inter have been badly managed for the last 20 years at least.

I didn't say that we cheated in getting Ibra but it was a steal deal. Had it a normal situation, we wouldn't be able to get him.

It ain't a coincidence that Inter also started to become a team when Moratti was not the President.

 

[Sassuolu]

1998 and 2002 we could've won the Scudetto then but some terrible refereeing decisions cost us everything.

fixed accordingly:work:

 

[bandiera]

can't believe he has the nerve to come out and keep babbling on about the scudetto. moratti has no fucking clue.

 

[JJM]

If this guy would continue to run this club we would end up like Parma...

 

[wera]

Inter da scudetto

Cuz i said so

 

[.h.]

Moratti says we can think about the Scudetto.

Moratti can go suck a dick

 

[Wings]

Moratti can go suck a dick

Whatever else I think of Mancini, I'm glad he's rejecting the scudetto talk for now. I really wish Moratti wouldn't keep bringing this up.

 

[Opeum]

If this guy would continue to run this club we would end up like Parma...

That's why he sold this club to Thohir.

 

[VLE]

Calciopoli extends much more than just ref decisions on the pitch.

Adri dived? Let's make a rule about suspending diver right after the match so he would miss 2 matches afterwards, including vs roma. Ofc the rule disappears few months after that.
Adri looked like he punched a player? Let's suspend him. The supposed victim said he didn't get punched? Let's ignore that. Disciplinary committee found a video clip that proved he didn't punch? Let a fking CONI overrule it and ban anyways.
Samuel spat on the ground? It may have been on a player so let's ban him. The victim says he didn't get spat on? Who cares, ban anyways.

Del Piero dived? Let PKs role in. Viewers are complaining? Let's stop showing replays but rather close up boobs of pretty girls on the crowd on vital moments.

The league was so shit they had a huge problem selling TV rights in early 2000s. They started selling it by pieces (big matches) then Seriea.tv came up hoping it could sell it directly to customers, which only proved that the league is un-marketable.

Then there's transfers like nesta and cannavaro. The game was more than 'there was a wrong call during 98'.

Massimo Moratti confirmed he has “given the all-clear to sell my 30 per cent” of Inter.

The former President is prepared to walk away from the club that he owned up until two years ago, when he sold the majority shares to Erick Thohir.

“I have given the all-clear to sell my 30 per cent of the club,” Moratti told Rai Sport.

It’s reported he could be in negotiations with United Arab Emirates investors, including Etihad Airways.

Moratti was interviewed after a 0-0 Serie A draw with Juventus at San Siro.

“I saw a very good first half, but we fell away in the second. I don’t see this draw as a wasted opportunity.”

Well it looks like some of you will be getting your wish. It seems that after 20 years Massimo Moratti is finally decided to release his grip on Inter. After selling his majority share it now appears he will also relinquish the remaining 30%. It's bitter sweet for me personally. Moratti was far from a perfect president, but we all know how much he loved Inter. With the way modern football is going, more and more money is coming into the game and the chances of us seeing families like the Moratti's is probably a thing of the past. I doubt we'll ever see another Moratti take control of this club, be it for better or worse. Inter is not Moratti but Moratti is Inter. And for that, he should be respected.

Here's to 20 years.

 

[bandiera]

I'm sorry man, and im sure this is a really unpopular opinion, but i disagree. i respect him for all the money he has spent, his long term commitment, and rebuilding us from what ive read was the most difficult era in the history of this club, but he also ran us into the ground and he literally had no fucking idea what he was doing.

he made so many decisions where he put his ego ahead of this club, this is what i think it was all about to him. if he genuinely loved inter, he wouldnt have done some of the things he has done to the most important people in the history of this club. exiling bergomi, for example. i mean, moratti was even thinking about selling zanetti in 2001, for such a long time under his reign we were a team of mercenaries and that's because of how we were run, he had no respect to any of the players. he thought he was bigger than everyone else in the club because he had the chequebook so he has the right to do whatever he wants. also, if he really loved inter he wouldnt have abandoned the club after he won what he wanted to win. if we hadnt won the treble in 2010, i have no doubt he would have kept spending until something happened.

if calciopoli had not happened and we didnt win what we won after 2006, no one would have any respect for this man.

 

[Pimpin]

Moratti has a net worth of 1.6 billion dollars, if his son ever wants he can buy inter back
