FFS ranieri said it ONCE, he knows the players have been waiting more than him so ofcourse hes going to say it. its not like hes named pre-season operation kill inter. plenty of managers say what games are crucial. all this is, is a classic case of :
'ihateranieriandwanthimtodiesolippicancomebecasueiamblindsightedandonlycareaboutpickongonhimsowecanhavelippi-itis'.
Name a top manager with a top team that has ever made such a statement.
You should not generalise. I don't want Lippi back becos 3 times is overkill but Ranieri aint a manger I have any faith in and to come up with that kind of statement is silly
Maybe some of you do not respect the likes of vinman, andy and myself but we speak the truth and if you don't like it tough diddley.
Some of us don't see the point in complaining when it is too late like some of you will eventually do, boring everyone to tears when things do not go well with us as we have enough foresight to know things are not goingto go well.
We do not all have a hidden agenda, i sure as hell do not, i do not go hoping Ranieri does not succeed but from the start I was shocked that he was considered, let alone given the job. Now instead of proving me wrong, he is adding to my reservations with stupid statements and some strange decisions on the pitch.
Some of you guys will always say i will give him a chance. What the hell does that mean? You have been watching football for years and you should know who will succeed and who won't. Iaquinta is not suddenly going to be a world class striker because he joined Juve. Boumsong is not suddenly going to put in world class performances because he joined Juventus
The best Ranieri has done in his career is his first stint at Valencia and that was getting them to play great stuff, not that they won anything but their football was superb. No matter what chance you give him from now till 2020, he is not a championship winning manager and neither is Carlo Mazzone or Graeme Souness.
But don't worry as long as Inter is not as successful as they were last season, I am sure we can all live with that and screw whatever Juve achieve as long as Inter do not win the scudetto
