For any player or coach, the poll should be for those who supported the club during those days. Many of the current fans would not have been Inter fans 8 years back and would not understand the pain and the difficulties that Cuper could have gone through. Easy for them to look back and criticize this coach now looking at handful of our poor results.
But how can we tell who the new and old fans are? I only just joined this forum, which would count against me for the poll, but I have been a dedicated fan for more than 10 years (because i lived in south africa as a kid my first passions were rugby and cricket, it was only when i moved to england that i learnt to play football)
I agree with those that back Cuper, although i am not a fan of him, i totally agree that the team he had to deal with was rubbish when it is compared man-to-man with the likes of Juve (buffon, thuram, cannavaro, del piero, trez, nedved, davids etc. man those guys were good!)...also roma and lazio had far fewer financial problems then and their teams were stronger, as was the whole league (such as ACM not being a team of old age pensioners)
also he was the first manager in years to give us a good european cup run (uefa cups don't count) and it is still pretty harsh that we lost on away goals to ACM in our own damn stadia...and yeah don't even get me started on the 5 may nightmare...
