Most Pessimistic MemberI don’t see how it’s possible to Marotta to keep his job after failing to do anything m in January. Someone would have to be blamed and fired. Ausi will mostly like be sacrificed.

10 years of FIFYour post is funny. You can't turn a piece of shit into a diamond and no amount of salesman abilities can change that fact.
Inter being unable to offload certain players has nothing to do with having a director that has the ability to sell them and everything to do with the fact that they are shit players that no club wants.

Most Passionate MemberIt's not Marotta who decides if Ausilio stays or goes. He has his say, but he's not the person who gives out the contract. It's under Antonello. But Marotta could very well say that he wants Ausilio out because of reasons and then they will take that into account. I don't think it would go to an ultimatum but it was possible given their completely different approach to the sport.

the solution with shit players is to avoid buying them. once they are in the team, you would have to be very lucky getting rid of them and not lose too much money.
so the only solution really effective is in the long term: given that every once in a while even the best sporting director will fail to see that a certain player is vastly overrated and will end up buying him, a more careful scouting will solve the problem at its root.
among other things, the spinazzola-politano swap, but probably also lazaro, show very clearly a lack of communication between ceo, coach and director of sports.
specifically about ausilio, i wouldn't blame him too much for our past waste of money, for two reasons: 1. it's not always clear who's at fault for a player, and sometimes (joao mario, gabriel barbosa) it's pretty clear he's not the one to blame. 2. if we want to blame ausilio for his shortcomings, then we also need to praise him for masterstrokes like getting de vrij on a free.

Getting players like de vrij on a free isn't a masterstroke in my book, you are getting the player that didn't want to renew his contract, you are alerted of that and then you make the move... True masterstrokes are getting players like icardi, skriniar, handanovic etc. ,and those were few far in between if you ask me...
None of us know for sure who scouted those players and who noticed them first so i m willing to give ausilio credit there because he was our main transfer guy in that period, so he would have had to green light all those deals... But if you put all of his good deals and compare them to all the fodder we collected and still trying to get rid of, I think its clear what kind of job he did here, despite the ownership change, ffp, and all those other things you could say didn't go his way.
And even if he did a good job in the past imo its time for a change just for the sake of change. He is at a club for almost 15yrs, its time for someone new to come and replace him.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberChange for the sake of change? He is at this role for 6 years, not 15.

I don't give a shit about his current role, i m talking about his overall involvement. His first position in a club dates to 1998, and barring his little adventure in spezia that lasted two years, he always had some sort of function in this club...

Best Overall Poster@ firmino I don't see any issue with your second point. The one doesn't exclude the other. This isn't a case of black and while. Ausilio is neither perfect nor useless. He has made some really good deals but he has also made some really bad deals. He has also done a tremendous job meeting plusvalenza requirements without selling any starter.
I am not against replacing Ausilio with someone who has done great job elsewhere (e.g. Andrea Berta, Ralf Ragnick, Luis Campos etc.) but that guy can't be Faggiano who has simply done a decent job at Parma. Ausilio should be replaced only if there's someone better available. A change for the sake of it would be a mistake.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberSo if you have managed to get promoted to a senior role at your company you get to be blamed for things that happened whilst your most important task was to scan papers?
He was mostly in charge of the kids and scouting. If you had followed closely you'd see that this has been the only thing we have been world class at with no interruptions. Priorities and who to listen to was never big at Inter. The coach has always had more power than the "errand boys".

i know it's not a case of black and white. and personally, as i wrote just yesterday, i would not replace ausilio.
the reason why conte and probably also marotta push for faggiano, i believe, is that they want a yes man, someone who will just merely do what he's asked.
i trust ausilio, but if marotta chooses not to renew his contract (and gets suning's approval for that), both him and conte will have to take FULL SHARED RESPONSIBILITY for each and every transfer.
which means, in my book, that if at some point Inter fail to meet the goals (like, one scudetto in these 3 years under conte), i expect marotta to resign, and conte to leave. and by the way i know the former would probably not happen.

Again, i m not talking abut the blame here when I say we need a change, i m talking about the fact he is here since 1998 and it's time to move on and hire someone else, that's all.
If you want to talk about blame then that's the different issue and another argument where you could say he needs to go even if you look at those last six years you mentioned when he was in charge.

Completely agreeing with you. Ausilio should be for the long run and should act that way. The coach is ''dispensable'' so he should never gets the ''free hand'' in terms of transfers or anything. The only reason they want to get Faggiano as Firmino already said is because they want someone to say yes against everything they say.
@Brehme
You are saying we have the best youth scouting etc and I'm tend to believe you but why isn't that for years we never get really good players from the Primavera. Off course you can never tell if a certain player will reach his full potential and in no way I'm trying to blame Ausilio for the lack of youth players but I'm sincerely curious about this subject. I know the mentality in Italy is different etc so it's an genuine question. Is he really only responsible for the U15 scouting and who is responsible for the scouting of ''older'' youth players?

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberYou cannot keep saying this 1998 thing. He's had this role for 6 years.
You want to check where we were when he took over and where we are now? You are going to punish that because it is time for "a change for the sake of change"?
- - - Updated - - -
The coaches we have been hiring since 1995 have not been really in favor of promoting youth players.
We do have the option of promoting players but the coaches pass on it usually.
You want to check since 2000 or even easier just for 2019-20, in Serie A the number of Inter youth players and how many minutes they've been getting?
Inter, Atalanta and Roma have been the most important teams in this regard for years now. The fact that we don't give chances to our guys shouldn't be the fault of those who have produced them.

FIF Special OnesForum Supporter10 years of FIFThe day of his sacking is getting closer.
The most overrated director in Italy. He's spent, no wasted hundreds of millions on mediocre players and we haven't won or even competed for a single trophy since he's been put in a prominent decision making role. Look at how much deadweight this team has right now, and they are all guys that were brought here by Ausilio or that Ausilio has failed at selling.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberIndeed. Selling Skriniar, Lautaro, Brozovic, De Vrij, Bastoni, Barella, Sensi and Esposito will require tremendous skills.
As opposed to improving an in debt team with Nagatomo, Ranocchia, Jonathan, Campagnaro, Pereira, Guarin, Alvarez, Mundigayi, Kuzmanovic, Taider, Botta and Belfodil... That's too easy, why didn't we hire someone who could have turned this into a winning squad within 3 transfer windows?
