EXHIBIT ONE
“The problem is you didn’t come to me sooner. See, you didn’t know how things worked and you were hurt by it. Let’s see what we can work out so that you’re treated fairly from now on.”
EXHIBIT TWO
“Tell him not to bust our balls. Better yet, I’ll talk to him and put him in his place.”
EXHIBIT THREE
“If you don’t punish Rosetti and Collina, all the other refs will feel entitled to do as they please. We don’t need them breaking our balls!”
EXHIBIT FOUR
“He came into the dressing-room and was furious. He berated Paparesta , stuck his finger in his face and then locked him in there! It was crazy! Don’t worry, though, I’ m not saying a thing about it. I don’t remember anything and I didn’t see anything. But it was mad, I tell you!”
EXHIBIT FIVE
“You need to lay off the referee in this one. You either say the referee was correct in his decision or you don’t show the images at all and gloss over it.”
EXHIBIT SIX
“Great job! You took out half their back four!”
EXHIBIT SEVEN
“We need to deal with him, we need to beat him up. We need to make him haemorrhage, that’s what we need to do. We’ll invent something, we’ll mess with some of his players.”
EXHIBIT EIGHT
Factual but cirumstantial lol
EXHIBIT NINE
“Our new manager was GEA, our general manager was GEA, half the team was GEA,” he said. “It was clear to me that if I wanted to stay, I would have to sack my agent and join GEA as well.”
EXHIBIT TEN
“You’re the boss of the Italian game! You own Serie A!”
QUOTES FROM PREVIOUS POST
“Right, here’s what I was thinking.”
“Let’s hear it. Let’s see what matches up with what I was thinking. Who have you put where?”
“Right, I’ve arranged Inter-Roma, Juve-Udinese, Reggina-Milan, Fiorentina-Parma, and Siena-Messina. I’ve gone with [referees] Bertini, Paparesta, Trefolini, Racalbuto; I’d put Tombolini to start with, but he made a right cock-up of things with Lazio. He gave that penalty…”
“I wanted to make Tombolini miss a weekend, because he made that mistake. If you never punish people…”
“If you don’t punish Collina and Rosetti, all the rest will think they’ve got carte blanche to make whatever decisions they want.”
“I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Moggi and Giraudo go in, and Moggi starts really threatening him, with his finger right up to the referee’s eye. He was shouting at the linesman too, ‘You’re an absolute disgrace, not giving that penalty, how dare you?’ I pretended not to see anything and went to the toilet.”
“I locked the referee (Paparesta) and linesmen in the toilet and took the keys away with me to the airport.”
