Beppe Marotta

From going against the wishes of a raging Conte and buying Eriksen, to blowing an easy transfer of Dybala who the new coach wants. Pretty embarrassing from this dude.

Eriksen was a request from the ownership.

He never went against the request of Conte, at the time he tried to get Kulusevski for him and failed.

Skipping Dybala is the logical choice especially we now have 5 forwards. Even before signing Lukaku, I would think twice to sign Dybala who is on high wages yet keep missing large chunks of games every season.
Overall Marotta has done an excellent job in building our squad. I would rate him 9/10 but it will go down to 7/10 when Skriniar sale is finalised.

Of the 5 forwards, 2 are in their last year, 1 is on loan, and 1 is not good enough for a title contending side.

Well, Correa is not good enough for a starter, but he is not total shit as to not be good enough for the bench for a championship contender.

By next year we'll have only Lautaro as a reliable forward in the entire squad. This is why Dybala is a rare opportunity that we shouldn't miss.

I really want Dybala but reliability is not an argument to sign him.

Exactly. Dybala is lots of things, but he's not a reliable player unfortunately.

Loving to see the praise for Marotta here when he easily gives:
- Miranda 5m to terminate his contract iirc (and a 3m cap hit). But refused to do the same with Valero, or even sell him at 500k capital loss when Fiorentina made an offer.
- Conte 7m to terminate his contract when he was practically resigning
- Vidal 5m to terminate the terrible contract he gave him
- Barbosa a month's worth of salary because it took him 1 month to accept Flamengo's original offer
- Sanchez probably much more than 4m to terminate his deal, which was the clause in place before entering this season.
- Godin to leave for Cagliari (don't remember the figure, probably 3-5m)
- Nainggolan to terminate his contract, which not only cost a lot of money, it had a capital loss of over 9m as well.


But refuses to seal a deal for Bremer, Barella, Lukaku, Eriksen early and either pays the asking price or even manages to pay more. Sure, a more convenient payment structure can lead to a higher valuation but how long should it take? Especially when you announce that the whole team must have been here 2 weeks ago!

He managed to lose Perisic on a free (initially, winter 2020 wanted to sell him for 35m to Arsenal which they weren't paying and refused a loan + 40m option) and almost lost Brozovic on a free, too.
Alienated a bunch of players with Skriniar probably the next one on the list, or perhaps Barella.

Whereas Ausilio gets all the blame for some reason and he was sent to close a deal for Hakimi and got it done within a couple of weeks

Yeah this is a good "contrarian" post for this subject in the forum.

Even if I suspect half of "fuck Ausilio" stuff is already irony but can't be sure.

They work well as a tandem but neither are perfect for sure. Marotta has surely brought connections (to clubs, to agents, latter even more important) but his ability to trim the squad effectively hasn't worked too well. We've lost so much money with these moves listed above.

Why is it playing a role who it is actually? I don’t care at all who brings us sporting success as long as we are successful. And one thing you can say is that we are far more successful with Marotta than we were without him.

Sure, Ausilio and Baccin are doing a great job, but that’s a task Marotta has to fulfill; he has to be able to build a working environment where everyone performs to their maximum, so as far as I‘m concerned it‘s ridiculous to criticize someone who finally brought stability into this club.

That's my opinion as well, i m only judging our sd by our sporting success, I couldn't care less if we overpay for someone or if he negotiates for a long time. That was my problem with ausilio and why I think he was the main reason why we sucked, and that's why I respect marotta no matter the faults he has. At the end of the day, trophies and sporting success is all I care about...

When was Ausilio in charge to blame him for the things you're praising Marotta for?

Nice double standard

This is the problem with you lot, you just don't see any issues with people you like whereas when you don't like someone, you just point out any single possible thing.

Ausilio never had the funds Marotta and Sabatini had when he was responsible by himself.

Which iirc was only in the summer of 2018-19. He was part of the blame squad long before that though.


That summer he was promised money by the Chinese and had targeted Modric and Vidal only to see Suning turn their backs on him...

When was Ausilio in charge of Inter, so we can correctly judge him?

There is no double standard, my friend, i m just looking at it in a sporting success way, which is the only way to judge someone who is sd of an important club. Ausilio was always a passive number two guy and one of the sole reasons why we were in banter era alongside our dubious owners. And despite all of that, he had money to spend, if you just look at our spending in those years. The biggest bullshit said here is that we didn't have money to spend We threw millions of euros down the well because of his poor connections and inability to sign players that are worthy of inter shirt.

So fuck him and his incompetent ass, it took a dude from jube, that i fuckin hated, to come here and make this club straight again, which is one of the reasons why some of you can't make a peace with that fact.

Here is a nice little table, 2012 and onwards, just about the time when branca left and auslio took charge... He didn't have funds, get the fuck out of here

That's just total horse shit and you know it yourself.

We've had more much money to spend during Suning era and Ausilio hasn't been the responsible for the mercatos for all those years before Marotta, maybe one? The big spending when Chinese arrived was about Joorabchian tricking the owners to spend over 70m on two busts.

Sporting results are not comparable in any capacity.

Who was responsible then?

Kia is not important in this conversation, those were only two transfers, i m talking about since branca left until marotta arrived. Who was assigned to oversee our transfer policy and player recruitment. Someone must have been in charge?

And money spent here is only a secondary thing, you think we didn't have funds I think we did, that's fine, but even if we didn't have money, signing players like kuzmanovic, belfodil, mudingayi etc... I would need days to name them all, is absolutely pathetic recruitment...

At every club there are two people responsible for the sporting results. The coach and the sporting director. You can't really say he wasn't part responsible for the sporting results in banter era. Maybe he isn't the one to blame the most but he isn't blameless for sure.

Ausilio has been working at Inter for 20 years. It's laughable to suggest he didn't have a say in decision making. Marotta has highlighted many times how important Ausilio is for himself and the club. Also the fact Ausilio has stayed with 3 ownership changes and many different directors shows the guy is really influential inside the club and has earned the trust of many different people.

Ausilio isn't just a nobody yes man no one takes seriously.

Ausilio still gets hate from the time Branca was here, always thought Branca was a shithead.

Nobody is saying Marotta and Ausilio are perfect, but in my mind they deserve the praise.

Still feel Ausilio and Marotta have done more good than bad and this is where I step out of this conversation because I have zero to add and nobody will change my mind.
