I am warming and softening towards Rafa's appointment...Especially as it seems the most likely option presently, and has done for a few weeks now. If he comes, and we get Marotta, I will be happy to put my personal feelings towards him aside, and to support him and the team he creates. Because we need a new leader...and new players...as soon as possible. I just have a feeling, like i am sure many others do, that benitez demands champions league football.

So, perhaps the story is dependent on Mourinho heading to madrid...if the special fucker wins the champions league, and the scudetto again, what challenges still present themselves for him in Milan??? He doesn't strike me as a man eager to create a new dynasty at Inter, for his interests and ambitions lie elsewhere.

can anyone please explain to me if I am wide of the mark or close?

Interesting theory, the problem with the bit about Madrid and Mourinho is that our board are not going to wait around for Benitez to see if he can join Madrid or not. He might be leaving Liverpool this summer but he seems keen to keep as many options open as possible while our board wants to sign a manager right away so we can begin to rebuild. I'm worried that even if Rafa would eventually be willing to sign for us we will miss out since the board want somebody signed quickly.

and if we give up on rafa? who would be next on the list?? Capello, if england fuck up awfully at the world cup?? Prandelli? gasperini??? are there any names we are totally missing who could be considered?

 

[The Curr]

Allegri.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Prandelli will stay in Florence, as much as I would love to have him back Capello won't return and we will end up with Allegri.

Then all of the fucks who say its wrong to support Inter in the CL final will see why I wanted Serie A to have a 4th CL place for 2011.

 

[Enron]

Did Capello win Serie A with Juve? I honestly can't remember, I know he blundered in Europe and the Calciopoli happened.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Fair point but I would take him back. This team could use a little discipline and organization.

 

[Enron]

So that's a yes?

 

[The Curr]

2004-05 and 2005-06

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

What point? Yeah, he won Serie A.

 

[X Æ A-12]

So that's a yes?

Were you serious? I thought you were just playing and mocking Capello.

The titles Juve had revoked were under Capello.

I was serious. I knew some were revoked but whether they were Capello's or not I didn't know.

Remember I'm not a Juventus fan.

I know I just figured that with all the time you've spent on a Juve forum that might have come up at some point.

I tend to stay out of the Calciopoli stuff. Not my business.

 

[The Curr]

Damn straight. Keep your jewnose out of our business, you thief.

 

[Enron]

Anyway I was thinking old Fabio might not be a bad choice to steer the ship in the right direction if Rafa's heart strings keep him from Turin.

The guy's a winner. Runs an organized squad and seems decent in the t-market.

I would hope Liverpool to consider him if Rafa leaves.
