And I'm not about to sit here and defend Roberto Mancini, but didn't he do the EXACT same thing in CL and Serie A that Mourinho has done, and at a much lower salary and transfer budget??

It was pretty obvious from day 1 that Inter will not do much better under mourinho than mancini. Thats moratti's problem he can't get it to he's head that the problem with Inter is a mentality problem.

No matter who he will hire the problem will always be there.....

Gerrard, Torres, Mascherano, Agger, Johnson and Skrtel are the only decent ones in my opinion.

Insua is promising and Reina is a good keeper.

I think Inter although still poor were actually better in the CL under him than Mourinho. Jose's time at Inter IMO has been very poor, he won a scudetto with barely any opposition that is as far as his achievements go. A breakup would be mutually beneficial to both parties

Oh yeah, part of the reason is the owners only caring about profits and having limited availability during transfer time. They're the reason Arsenal was able to come in at the eleventh hour and get Ramsey. I hate our owners. If you don't care about the club and you can't be bothered to either invest your time at various important times of the year or designate someone to do that for you (who has passion for your club and isn't your idiot son) then don't buy the club.

The fault lies in the owners for being the neglectful and Rafa for being stubborn. I think they both should leave.

where in Manchester United, you have the exact opposite of what is going on. Malcom Glazer has allowed Tampa Bay to become absolute garbage whilst devoting most of his time to ManU.

It's difficult enough being the owner of one major sports club, but 2? Especially considering the culture and economic shock that comes with ownership of a team in a whole different continent?

That's why Jerry jones has never entertained the thought of owning a footie club. Too much hassle. If you are an owner, I'm sorry, but you have to have a certain passion for the sport of which you are a team owner of.

That's why I don't understand why everyone gets on Mark Cuban. The dude lives and breathes basketball. There are a hundred teams out ther right now that would kill to have someone like him as an owner

I don't think so. Though I'm sure a certain Scott is looking for an opportunity.

As for the issue of Juve playing Barca. I too think Juve would do a much better job against Barcelona. With 3 defensive minded midfielders in Poulsen, Sissoko and Melo i think Ferrara can overcrowd the midfield and leave little space for Barcelona's midfield to weave their magic. The flanks will be a problem though, as you are going to have Grosso going against Messi and Iniesta going against Grygera.

Messi didnt play today.

I know there are a few Sheiks and what not that are looking at us, but I assume you don't have any information other than that?

In this respect I sm but a pleb.

But Liverpool, to my mind, are perfect for interested parties who want to create a brand sport for their land.

Only way to beat Barca, two strong falt rows of four.

We'd be missing two strong full backs and wo strong side midfeilder, they'd rape us

Xavi-Iniesta-Toure > Melo-Marchisio/Poulsen.-Momo

Better value to be had in Everton with the much lower debt, good manager, storng squad. With 50million investment Everton could be a top contenental side

That's why we have to beat them at their own game, going for the win. Pressure them, keep the ball and attack attack attack. Sitting back with two lines of four would get us raped even more because we wouldn't even score.

If Inter-Rubin draw 0-0 and Dinamo Kiev wins vs Barcelona, Inter will then sing La Isla bonita.
