Roberto Mancini

[Alessandro]

If Mancini is leaving, he should leave NOW.... get a new coach in as soon as possible so we can start building for next season. The players need a new form of motivation. I can see them throwing the scudetto away unless they find something to help keep there heads up...

No getting a new coach now means there's no chance for scudetto. Mancini has to finish the season. But the management needs to start talking to jose today.

No chance for Scudetto? We have the best team and we are 6 points clear(with no game between us and Roma left)
Many players are pissed by Mancini, and it shows. Even the fans are. He has to go now, or else we'll have trouble winning it. A change of coach(a permanent one) will do it.

And I see these people as CHOICES:

Juande Ramos
Mourinho
Hitzfield
Prandelli
Spalletti
Benitez
Wenger
Hiddink
Lippi
Rijkaard
Novellino

Some are definite NO's, like Rijkaard, Lippi or Wenger, but I see us approaching them as well.
Mourinho seems the best, he's the most famous coach in the world now, and he can change our mentality.
Juande Ramos and Hitzfield would be my preferred options, since Spalleti is hard to get. Prandelli would be a wise choice as well. There's also Novellino, who's quite a good coach that never got a chance, but we need one that does wonders. Benitez is one that I used to like, but after this rotation thing I'm being cautious. So our wonder makers are Hiddink, Juande Ramos and Mourinho. Hiddink probably wouldn't come, since he enjoys national teams(receving a fat salary while sitting almost all year long) and Juande Ramos has recently joined a new club, and him coming here, even if it's something I'd like, is like showing minimal loyalty to his employers. Mourinho is the last and definetly not least name and he wants to coach here, the fans want him to come. Why not? It's the easier choice we have, and Moratti should start listening to fans. Bringing Mourinho plus 2 big name signings would make this year a great new start, even if we win the league.

p.s did someone mention Lippi!?? How sad to see that some just don’t get it!

Yup.....they will never get it. all about age i guess..

Grant: A Title Or I'm Gone

Chelsea manager Avram Grant has conceded he knows he must win either the Premier League or the Champions League to remain in his position of manager at Stamford Bridge...

It's gonna be interesting to see the developments there.

And it's 1000000% official:

MILAN - In his analysis of Inter's Champions League defeat against Liverpool, Roberto Mancini said the sendings-off in both legs proved decisive.
"We played 60 minutes at Anfield with ten men, and 35 minutes here," he said. "It's hard to come back after that. Getting knocked out hurts, but we mustn't make a drama out of it. We're thinking about the championship now.
"I'm very sorry for the fans, there were so many of them there.
"Scoring a goal would have changed everything, but it's a different match when you're reduced to ten men. Our regret is that we couldn't finish the match with eleven men."

As for Figo, who was not brought on as a sub after warming up, Mancini pointed out that there was no refusal by the Portuguese midfielder. "Figo had come from an injury and wasn't in the right condition to play from the first minute," Mancini said. "He didn't refuse to come on. He was warming up, and then the red card came so I had to change.

"Liverpool's defence is strong and we created three or four scoring chances. We were a bit unlucky. No one should feel remorse."

At the end of the press conference, Mancini announced: "Despite still having four years to go on my contract, these will be my last two and a half months at the helm of Inter and at the helm of an Italian team. I have already told the boys, and it's right to tell everyone else. It's a decision I had already made, it didn't depend on tonight's defeat."

I think Mancini will go to Juventus eventually and Ranieri might return to Chelsea, or maybe Ranieri will retire, who cares

This one's from the shitty goal.com but not a bad one:


[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Blog:[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Mancini mystery[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Why did Roberto Mancini quit this way – petulance, bad timing or sheer manipulation? [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Susy Campanale[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular] isn't sure, but she knows it ain't good[/FONT]

I shan't even begin to discuss Inter's latest European flop. The lack of a Champions League mentality, the inability to step up against the big sides, their woeful disciplinary record, the embarrassing way they gave up completely with 20 minutes to go or Zlatan Ibrahimovic's painfully flawed performances that mean he'll never win the Ballon d'Or no matter how many flicks and tricks he pulls off against the likes of Reggina. No, this blog is solely about Roberto Mancini's bizarre decision to quit and the extremely mysterious way he went about announcing it.

Just to recap – Mancini did the usual round of television and radio interviews after the game and mentioned nothing about wanting to resign. Only when he got to the print media conference did he suddenly blurt out this comment: "I think that these will probably be my last two and a half months on the Inter bench. After four years, and even if I have another four years left on my contract, I will leave Inter. I have already told the players and President Massimo Moratti. It has nothing to do with the Liverpool defeat, as I would have made the decision anyway."

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]When leaving the stadium he walked past more camera crews and refused to comment on that announcement, insisting: "I only want to talk about the game." Meanwhile, the players admit they are stunned and knew nothing about this.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Something's going on here and whatever the explanation, Mancio doesn't come out looking good. The first scenario is that he always thought he'd taken Inter as far as they could go and was going to leave despite penning a new four-year contract only a few months ago. In that case, why announce it now with the team and fans already at a low ebb and their Serie A lead reduced to six points? That's certainly not going to help anyone.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Scenario number two is that Mancini made this decision after their Champions League exit and wanted to keep his dignity intact by telling everyone it was simply time to move on, thus avoiding having to be defensive while the media and some sections of the support inevitably call for his dismissal and the arrival of Jose Mourinho. That would be at best taking the easy way out and at worst not even trying to defend his very positive record at a club not known for picking up silverware.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]The third option is the most troubling. Mancini knew he was going to be criticised, had heard the Mourinho rumours and was upset after the post-match interviews, so he made this shock 'announcement' in much the same way as a wife asks if she looks fat in this outfit – as a prompt for President, players and fans to say: "Oh no, you're wonderful, don't change a bit!"
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Aside from being petulant, manipulative and selfish, it could also be a major bluff that doesn't pay off. There's every chance they will all turn around and nod dismissively, eyeing the muffin top spilling out of the too-tight jeans.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Whatever the explanation, Mancini has made a bad situation far worse.[/FONT]

 

[Cro Nerazzurro]

I didnt expect this, at all.

So its Mourinho for sure
Lampard will come, Adriano will be Adriano we all love again,....what else....?

 

[Alessandro]

I can't wait for Inter's new beginning...

 

[Ajesh]

Howz Moratti's Oil business going.I guess we need a lot of money to revamp things in the summer.

 

[snake]

wtf cro?

Im probably jose's biggest fan, but then again ive been gunning for mancini since he got here.

Adriano will be Adriano we all love again

get back to fukcing reality. Stop this dreaming.


you want a dream?

Try winning potentially 3 out of 4 scudettos, try inter being the most dominant force in italy for years, try finally winning a scudetto in 20 years, try breaking the serie A record in points;breaking the european record in win streak, try finally beating milan almost everytime we played themand most importantly.......try having a team that your so confident about that week in week out they would bring home the 3 points you wouldnt even have to watch the game. It got to a point where it was a foregone conclusion. Now that comfort is a dream.

We are now stepping into the abyss, the unknown. Even Jose can fail, yes you read right.

ps. I dont want to hear serie A not being good enough, Ive never seen a better roma and yet they dropped points, Milan world champs last season were dropping left and right however we were superb, even with the worst injury crisis in europe (barring chelsea at one stage) we still did things you will probably never see again.

Mancini, its sad as fuck to see you go. 3 games in the CL wont make me forget how you transformed inter from a laughing stock into the best Italian team. A tear in the eye for sure when you leave. Thank you for the memories.:heart:

It's very shocking, and it seems true, but I can't say I'm 100% he will actually leave.. Lets wait for a couple of weeks to see what happens.. I'm sure Moratti and players will talk to him when everything cools down after this defeat..

But if he is really gone, I'm 100% we'll get Mourinho.. I don't really like changing our current team, but we will surely need 2,3 new players..
And Mourinho would surely know how to treat Adriano..

or prandelli comes and takes the reigns

and all of a sudden adriano wants to come back to italy

this is truly the most unexpected thing that couldve occurred

first time in a long time, i felt stability, and now its thrown all into the air again

inter deserves a great coach, one capable of translating domestic success into european success

Spot on... But I feel Jose is the man for this.. most importantly he will bring disciplin.

 

[Azzkikr]

I agree its really unproffessional of mancini to say this now instead of at end of season. Especially if the players didnt even know, like it doesnt sound like they did even tho mancini says so.

Like the Scudetto wasnt in big enough jepardy before. Roma has to favourites for Serie A now, we will easily throw 6 points.

 

[bennyblanco]

well whoever comes good luck as they willl need it...knowing Moratti he'l extend Figo's contract....

not to sound mature,but the only other man who compacted this team we all love was Cuper....and like Mancio he played a Capello system...defensive?maybe....proven ? for sure!

talk all you want but Mancio will be remembered as a winner....time will tell...just like time will tell.....just wonder how much time....just wonder how much time most of us have known and studied Inter>>thought about what was going on before and during Mancios term............

who the fukc did Moratti bring this season to give us an edge?

lets all see what the future brings but at the same time remember how many managers have walked through the doors...some of you guys were privelaged to experience such a win ratio set by Mancio...even his first season with 15 draws was amazing...most of you all will scratch your heads one day and reflect....like everything in life you dont know what you have till you lose it...

and reading shit...reading kids fantasize about playstation,not knowing what football is because 97% havent played park football let alone association and league football...
Wank on haters....and live Long....

I know alot of us appreciate what mancini has done but where all over just being good in Italy... INTER NEEDS EUROPE. Only then will other teams and fans respect us. Mancini can't take us there... It's for the best.

 

[Alessandro]

Mancini to Chelsea... thats the new rumour... how ironic that would be if Jose came to Inter...

 

[bennyblanco]

i respect that Sandro....but il say it again...Alex Ferguson won it after 10 years at being at Old Trafford....and through pure luck too

we act like a billionaire boys club but dont go through Uniteds budget....feck Moratti....he is lucky to be associated to this club through history and nothing else...he wouldnt be able to shine Angelos shoes in footballing terms
let him be....how much did you pay for your ticket bros?130 E
THATS ALL HE IS GOOD FOR....PROFITS

weve had bad luck...every year weve had some sort of grey spot especially this year...bros we talked briefly bout this on Sunday...besides Trap none have been even as close in winning %...il never wish Inter bad but my team has been a losing mob for a long time...way before Moggi and Co and that cant be painted over and ignored..
