Who could buy Inter? Thursday 13 April, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Italian media are speculating on who could take control of Inter if Massimo Moratti decides to sell the outfit after another campaign to forget.

Moratti is believed to be assessing his options following his failure to emulate the success of his father, Angelo, who was at the helm of the Grande Inter side of the late 1960s who ruled the world.

“I bought this club through my passion,” Moratti told the Gazzetta dello Sport today. “Why would I object if a person came forward who thought they could do better?

“If they are willing to work hard then I think it is only right that I consider selling, even if it will be a very hard decision to make.”

The present patron is clearly pondering his next move, after their Champions League exit and the shocking fan attack on his players, but there only seems to be a small number of individuals who could make him an offer for the sleeping giants.

Football economists believe the club is worth somewhere in the region of between £250m and £275m, thus underlining that any potential new buyer will need millions at his disposal to land the club.

So who could be interested in buying control of the club from the oil baron if it became available? The first is Marco Tronchetti Provera, who is not only a massive Inter fan but also a business associate of Moratti.

Tronchetti Provera certainly has the funds that would be needed and he’s already the club’s main sponsor through Pirelli.

Fashion guru Giorgio Armani is another name to be mentioned and he’s already got involved in sporting ventures in the past within the basketball arena.

Then there is Patrizio Bertelli’s Gruppo Prada who are currently involved in yacht racing with the Luna Rossa boat.

Luxottica chief Leonardo Del Vecchio, thanks to his success of his spectacles business, is another Benamata follower who may have the desire to restore the side to their supposed greatness.

The Benetton brothers seem to fit the bill of a possible buyer given their sporting links, even if they have yet to step foot into the football world.

Moratti has been in control of Inter for 11 years and has won just one UEFA Cup and one Coppa Italia during that time. The side haven’t won the Scudetto since 1989.

Not sure if we can trust a juventino with our club.

Giraudo and Tronchetti Provera to take from Moratti
Rivoluzione Inter, Moratti al bivio se delegare il club alla coppia Tronchetti Provera-Giraudo

11:15 del 20 aprile

moratti e tronchetti

Massimo Moratti si sarebbe preso una settimana di tempo per decidere se dare il via a una clamorosa rivoluzione in seno all'Inter. Non solo giocatori, dirigenti, allenatori da avvicendare ma lui stesso, l'azionista di maggioranza, per la prima volta da quando acquistò il club nel 1995, farebbe un sostanziale passo indietro nella compagine azionaria.

Protagonista della scena nerazzurra diventerebbe Marco Tronchetti Provera che con il coinvolgimento di Carlo Puri Negri e quindi di Pirelli Real Estate darebbe una svolta imprenditoriale alla vita del club.

Si tratterebbe dello sviluppo del progetto caro ad Antonio Giraudo che prevede lo sfruttamento del marchio, come avviene già per la Ferrari, anche per fini immobiliari, televisivi (entrerebbe in ballo La7) e commerciali. L'AD bianconero ne ha parlato recentemente in alcune interviste comparse su Repubblica e Corriere della Sera, e adesso quello stesso progetto potrebbe venire trasferito dalla Juventus all'Inter insieme a Giraudo che diventerebbe il nuovo AD nerazzurro. Previsto anche l'ingresso in borsa nel corso del 2007.

Il motivo di questo ribaltone è dovuto alla difficoltà di Giraudo di reperire presso il proprio azionista di maggioranza alla Juve le finanze necessarie per lo sviluppo del progetto in seno al club bianconero.

Da qui l'intreccio Tronchetti Provera-Puri Negri-Giraudo con Moratti che resterebbe in società seppur in maniera defilata. La gestione sportiva del club passerebbe anch'essa nelle mani di Giraudo che si avvarrebbe della collaborazione di Luciano Moggi e di Fabio Capello per la panchina.

La decisione definitiva dovrà essere presa entro la fine del mese di Aprile e al momento due remore essenziali frenano l'ok definitivo da parte di Moratti: la rinuncia pressochè totale alla gestione del club e sopratutto il pericolo di una eccessiva "juventinizzazione" del club che potrebbe venire maldigerita dall'orgogliosa tifoseria nerazzurra.

If Moratti does sell the club, there can only be one other to buy it and that's Provera. Huge Interista and filthy rich to boot. I see nothing wrong with that.

Yeah but he might not wanna buy the club after seeing his buddy massimo struggle soo much.

[M.Adnan]

Giraudo and Moggi ?

what a nightmare .

[Gaetan]

Huge Interista and filthy rich willing to do whatever it takes to win is the ideal owner. Wait, isn't that Moratti?

[Pi]

I don't think Moratti is really going to sell Inter, I believe he said that in a moment of frustration. Therefore the "new" Inter owner should be Moratti.

Giraudo and Moggi ?

what a nightmare .

nightmare? ... with Troncetti's money and those 2 masterminds working for us ... i predict a future where scudettis wud rain down on us.

Mass revolution at Inter -->> Troncetti, Giraudo, Moggi, Baldini, Capello ... all in.

he ain't filty rich he is only rich.

I have just found out that I made a mistake last time this topic was up, I have now realised that Leonardo Del Vecchio is the riches one of those Italians that are named, therefore he get my vote. funny how I changes my mind. when it comes too owners. But I wouldn't want Gates, heck it would hardly be relevant since I doubt he is interested in any kind of sport.

I don't want Moratti since he dosn't know what he is doing, are to involved emotionally.

I doubt Provera would be much better he resembles Moratti way too much (huge interista and rich), and I want changes and I'm sure that won't happened if we get Provera. he will pretty much keep it as it is. because of his friendship with Moratti. And that is something I don't want. besides he ain't rich enough

well we can just keep Moratti then, since it wouldn't make much difference. Since Provera is a incarnation of Moratti.

[Ziyad]

I dont think Provera is an incarnation of Moratti..I think he has been watching and learning during this period and his actions seems like he is eager to change things..

[Stefan]

Provera is way more pragmatic. When Moratti hired Mancini he advised Massimo to go for Capello instead. He also wanted Baldini at the club for a long time now.


Moratti can stay but only if he can change his approach. He needs to hire proffesionals like Baldini and let them run the club and not interfere. But if he is unable to do this we need to get a new owner.

what actions?

[Ziyad]

He is already playing apart behind the scenes by meeting with Capello,and executives from Juve and Roma -I think..Until now all is good unless he brings Moggi.

[1919]

cummon ... Moggi is the pick of the lot. Moggi can "get" us scudettos.

Moggi is an unethical rat. I rather have Baldini

[1919]

compare the number of scudettos won by the 2 of them.

winning is what counts ... 17 years of agony is enuf for a club like us ... and itz time to turn it round, irrespective of hoe we do it.

Won has worked at clubs who had no chances of winning scudetto's. Put Baldini at Inter with our resources and I am sure he will win plenty of scudetto's.

[Mikkel]

yeah but he can bring us scudettos in one way or another

[Mikkel]

The last time we spoke to you, you said you were a bit tired of Inter. Have you had the time to think things through in the past days? Have you changed your mind?
"No, I haven't had the chance to think about this in these past days. I have had many other things to do. Now we will see. In the meantime, the duty and pleasure to continue are still there. This is the basis."

crap it dos seem like he will stay at least for one more season. but still he has left the door open to quit the club. let's wait and see what happens doing the summer.
