Roberto Mancini

As a wise man once said, the best time to plant a tree was 8 years ago, the second best time is now. This will be a blessing in disguise, I am sure of it.

Let's give a big thank you to Totenham :slick:

Amazing how certain sons of bitches always manage to disrespect a man in the heaviest of ways, right after he got us to our BEST RESULT IN MANY YEARS and European football. And this particular man even won us many titles in the past. He should be revered. Shame on you ridiculous nitwits, you annoying fake ass supporters. It's so easy to talk shit when you are behind a computer screen with no responsibility at all except for giving support, and yet you pathetically fail at that one task as well. It's toe-curling behavior.

He even had the decency to leave when he noticed that he really had to, before ruining the beginning of our season. And those 2,5m we agreed upon ourselves, knowing full well that this was going to happen, so no argument there. I think he even deserves it for at least getting us to 4th/EL.

Mazzarri got us to EL after Strama 9th. So I guess you should be giving Mazzarri credit and kudos too then.

You didn't, then?

Of course not.

And this man also delivered some of the shittest and most eye-opening football one could see in his life time.

If Guardiola invented this tiki-taka system of his, then Mancini definitely invented a cure for insomnia. Who's the better coach here given their invention, their contribution to our society?

Without doubt he should be revered, together alongside the likes of Lord Bendtner.

So, because we do not support him, we now become fake ass supporters?

Please do remember, the club was behind him all the time, all the fucking time since he arrived at this club. The only wish the club couldn't afford to buy him is probably Yaya Toure, but instead the club bought him Kondogbia for 40 millions. Melo and Telles were brought in from his previous clubs. He has a better squad. Many people say that the better squad is because of him. Not really. If it was Moratti today, probably we wouldn't get anything. Thohir was ready to support Mancini and splash as much as possible within the club limitations. The team that Mancini got is nearly twice better than Mazzarri's. But, in the end what did Mancini do? He requested for a renewal. If he really thinks of this Inter, he should realize that he failed to get what was expected from him, the 3rd place, and it is not even close to get there. Mancini should have shown the result within the next 6 months for example and then he has the right for renewal talk. I'm sure many of people here feel more like a betrayal by Mancini than anything else.

You say Mancini delivered the BEST RESULT IN MANY YEARS.. Mancini 2015-16 result: 4th place (20 wins 7 draws 11 losses) with 67 points and 50-38 (+12) goal difference. Mazzarri 2013-14 result: 5th place (15 wins 15 draws 8 losses) with 60 points and 62-39 (+23) GD. I never know that 7 points which are literally 2 more wins and 1 more draws meaning lightyear ahead. In addition, Mazzarri did them without 9 months pre-season.

Let's make it more simple. Mazzarri's Inter had beaten Sassuolo 3x and 2 of them were 7-0. Mancini's Inter had been defeated 3x by Sassuolo.

And for those saying, we could have waited for next summer and replace with Simeone. We could have waited Mazzarri to run the remaining 2014-15 season and replaced him with Jurgen Klopp as well. And if you think Jurgen won't come here, what makes you think Diego will?

I'm not saying Mazzarri is the great one but Mancini is definitely not anything better. Could we be better next season? maybe. But, the chance to be better is the same as the chance to be worse. There is no guarantee that if Mancini stays, we will be in the 3rd place.

I'm grateful for what Mancini has done in his first stint, although calciopoli played a paramount role, but his second is a complete failure.

Mancini's son giving his opinions on club, management and so on. Also confirms that Mancini was given new contract which would remove him from transfer market dealings.

Roberto Mancini’s son slams Erick Thohir and the Suning Group - “they treat Inter like a toy”.

Mancio left the Nerazzurri by mutual consent yesterday, after a summer of disagreements with the club hierachy.

“Dad has always been good at Inter, he loves the team, if he didn’t he wouldn’t have gone back,” Filippo Mancini explained to FcInter1908.


“He was used to a different kind of football, with different Presidents, who really held on to their club without ulterior motives.

“With the arrival of Thohir and then the Chinese, things have changed. These people are more accustomed to doing business than dealing with football and I have the feeling that they didn’t understand Inter, a club that - until recently - had a power in the world that was second to none.

“Behind this club there’s the hand of Kia [Joorabchian] and other advisors and that can’t be for the good of Inter.

“Staying there was really bad for dad, he didn’t have a point of contact, someone who could really tell him what was going on.

“At the moment the Nerazzurri are not a strong club, a team which they [the owners] live day and night. It’s not a priority for them, it’s like a toy to play with.

“I’ve read a lot of comments from fans about the players who arrived at Inter during my father’s second spell.

“First of all, I’d say that a lot of these players like [Marcelo] Brozovic, [Ivan] Perisic, Miranda and [Jeison] Murillo have hugely raised the level of the team.

“But it should also be pointed out that some of the players the club signed were the third or even fourth choice of my father, and maybe people don’t know that.

“That was the case last year too, it’s not true that all the players signed were wanted by Mancini.

“Yaya Toure? [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic went to [Manchester] United this year and is earning good money, and he’s two years older than Yaya.

“We’re talking about a midfielder who could have easily made the difference in Italy for another three years, he’d have added value on the pitch and in the dressing room.

“Obviously if he wanted a player it was for the good of the club, not to play five-a-side.

“Dad wasn’t happy with them and they weren’t happy with dad. He saw them [the Suning Group] at most a handful of times, they bought Inter and then disappeared.

“These people must understand that you need heart and soul to guide a club like Inter, you can’t delegate to other people.

“I’m sorry for the way it ended with my father, he was practically the only one to put his face out there for the fans, and it’s unthinkable to offer him a contract renewal while sidelining him from the transfer market.

“It’s him who is with the team during the week and who sits on the bench on a Sunday. He should have the power, because it’s him who has to face the insults and the tomatoes if things go wrong.

“His future? He’s one of the best in the world, I don’t think he’ll be able to be out of things for a year.”

Mancini's son, lol

I’ve read a lot of comments from fans about the players who arrived at Inter during my father’s second spell.

Well maybe that's a good fucking thing we didnt sign your idiot father's first, second, or third choices then. Excuse me if I dont want to take life advice from a 25 year old whose professional career has amounted to 'playing where my dad is a coach' with 0 first team appearaces, no real life experience, and no fucking career prospects


succa mi cazzo

So he terminated his contract because they didn't give him control over transfermarket? Not buying Toure? What a crybaby

Either give me what I want to I'll throw temper tantrum

Before some smartasses say "what's wrong with asking for a certain player?" I say nothing! But when you quit 3 different clubs all because of disagreement over transfers then there is something wrong with you!

I understand if you ask for a certain TYPE of player but when you ask for a specific player who is 33 years old, declining and on huge wages and you refuse to sign anyone else instead if him, then there is something wrong with you!

I wasn't in favour of sacking him but if this is true I'd say 'good riddance!'

Also, the media actually reported this a couple of weeks ago that there was tension between the club and Mancini because they didn't want to sign certain players that Mancini wanted.

So maybe there is some element of truth in some of the rumors that we read. Where there is smoke, there is fire...

Credit where its due...

I personally don't hate Mancini. I am baffled he is respected enough to be LGI, but titles we won with him do back it up.

Post-Calciopoli is a bittersweet period for me. Both our management and Mancini failed to utilize many opportunities. Stadium on the part of the club and better Champions league performances on the part of Mancini.

Calciopoli was like having a time machine but went back and got only a better haircut. We could have done so much more. So his success back then kinda fades away with that notion.

Poor thing, he will only get half of 5.3 mln euros.

Thats one way to look at it. But most people would have asked for the whole amount owed to them as per contract, just like Mazzarri did (or Manicni did the first time we sacked him). So IMO this was good of him. Its saves Inter a lot of money.

I guess he did this for two reasons:

1. Its Mancini who refused the contract extension that Inter offered him. So maybe he felt obligated to settle to contract.

2. He probably wants to be free of the contract - maybe he does not want to take a year out.

Coasterfreek said:

Can't believe it happened. The timing is just so terrible only weeks before the new season. If it happened in June, I'd understand, but this is whack.

So was this all Mancini not being 100% committed and didn't like the contract offer from the new ownership?

I think its becoming clear now why Mancini refused the new contract. Because Suning were changing the definition of his role from "manager" to "coach". Mancini wanted more control on transfers, while Suning/Thohir wanted to use their own judgement to buy players from a more commercial point of view. That fundamentally changes the agreement Mancini had when he took the Inter job, so I guess its understandable that he refused.

I think maybe Suning played this one wrong. I can understand the need to change the system, ideally the sporting structure at a club should be such that the coach and players are decided based on a club philosophy rather than let any one person dictate this. But Inter do not have this structure in place yet. Its not a button you can press on or off. Such a change needs to be gradual, and you must build your club's philosophy, and a competent underlying structure/personnel to support it over a period. So maybe the ideal situation would have been to let the manager decide the short term transfers (which he is not bad at), while the club focusses on building a structure, and slowly handover the decision making authority. The handover could be completed by the time a new coach takes over in 1-2 years time, with the new coach being a part of the new structure in place based on an overall vision/philosophy.

Now we have ended up with a new coach with the season upon us. But even more worrying is the part where (if) we are letting greedy idiots like Kia influence our strategy, more than the coach. This could be a recipe for disaster if not managed well.

Dont forget too mancini unresigned for TWENTY EIGHT MILLION 7 years ago

No surprise Bluenine is a Mancini sympathizer. Lmao.

Mancini is a douche. Plain and simple. He came here and was told he'd have to operate with a budget and he even said in his early interviews that he will work within the constraints of this "new" Inter.

As I and others said back then, we all knew this was a hoax. And low and behold, he could not deliver EVEN AFTER WE GAVE HIM OVER 15 PLAYERS, because he wants MORE EXPENSIVE PLAYERS.

gtfo

#neverforgetthemountainhealer

Almost in all cases when two parties decide for a mutual agreement, they get half of the amount they would've received had stayed. Mancini's case isn't any special.

Mancini: 1.63 points per game
Mazzarri: 1.65 points per game

Yes, I am a Mancini sympathiser. Just like I was a Mazzarri sympathiser before this, and a Strama sympathiser before that..... and in a few months time when Inter hit their first bad patch, I will become a De Boer sympathiser while most fans at FIF will want him sacked. I think at FIF (and Inter mgmt) the coaches are generally made scapegoats for much larger problems at the club.

I see Mancini for who he is. A limited tactician, but who makes up for that with other redeeming qualities which I have mentioned in more detail before. And personally I found Mancini more competent on transfers than anyone else at the club, but that is just my opinion.

And FYI, I don't think the transfer budget was the issue with Mancini. It was more about which players to spend the limited budgets on.
