Before the treble we had 5 straight years as Serie A champions. Thats not a few years.
Now, not even three years after the treble, you already say we are going back to the dark ages...
I'm as pissed off by our current squad as you are, but I think we'll have a good team in one or two more seasons, when most of the senatori will be retired.
Remember, Moratti was at the helm during the first so called dark ages (or anyways, the dark ages of the 90's and 00's) and it took Calciopoli for Inter to dominate Italy and eventually Europe. This is not to say that I don't think we earned those Scudetti, or that there are Scudetti that we perhaps ought to have earned had it not been for Calciopoli, however, it does say something about Moratti's tenure at the top of the management structure.
I don't think MM is or ever was the man for the job. I love his passion for the club and can't stress how much I appreciate his investments but it just strikes me as now clear that he doesn't know how to run a football club and if that is the case than fuckin hire some competent executives who do because the hierarchy we have now is making our club look like a joke.
-Failing to revitalize the squad after the treble.
-Forlan as Eto'os replacement despite the "oversight" that he couldn't play in Europe + a few last minute failures (I.e. Zarate)
-Benitez, Gasparini, fuckin Ranieri as coaches.
-Failed transfer campaigns such as the Lucas fiasco and currently the Paulinho swoop.
-The way we handled the much publicized Sneijder ordeal.
-Failure of the youth project or rather the fact that it never existed in the first place...
This club is being run into the ground on its own accord. We were at the pinnacle of Europe only a few years ago and should have been able to at least maintain a competitive squad but each year has yielded less than the previous one in terms of success and even outright respect for the club. The club has no long term plan and I just can't support MM and co. much longer if things don't change.
I will always support the club as an entity, but that doesn't mean I have to support the people driving it into the ground.
