Wow that is just some pipe dream; if we can even do half of it, like the first half
we can compete in 3 competitions with anyone, and be sustainable for the long run.
It is so good to even think about it.

We already trigger the buy option for Asllani if I'm not mistaken.

10 years of FIFHstory record now your really reaching should he have won with fucken lazio? He realistically speaking had this and last season where he could have won it he fucked up last year and Napoli was spectacular this year but sure history....
What about spallo? Not like he needed 6 seasons at roma 2 at inter and 2 more at napoli till he finally won a scudetto...
Sarri managed to win once he got jube and really had very little competition....
Also other than spallo they all won with Inter Jube or BBeelan and with the exception of pioli last year with they all won with better teams than Inzaghi
Basically my question would be after how many seasons at a top team can you write a coach of as not scudetto material?
seems like you would have written of quite a few of them your selfe...
Basically what your saying here is any coach who does not win after 2 season with inter bbilan or Jube will never win a scudetto... Cause other than napoli now when was the last time any team outside of those 3 won? Roma in 00/01?
Btw: gasp does not have a serie a title

10 years of FIFGasp is proving my point. You can go no where in the league format with ultra attacking football. Therefore his team is not top6.
Had I written Inzaghi off, I would never have agreed to give him more time. I have been begging him for changes, as I know we have to stick with him regardless as Suning is poor af.
The difference between Inzaghi and the others is again, the number of points. For an inferior team like Lazio, he barely reached top 4 once in 5 years. For a best or 2nd best Scudetto contender like Inter, he has never been closed to winning. Compare to Sarri's Lazio Juve or Spalletti's Roma Napoli, can you not see the difference? Better not to mention Pioli, his team is shit. Midtable quality at best.
There are only a few tops in Serie A. I am only seeing you are excluding most of cases to make excuses why he NOT achieved anything in the league. Let me ask you the vice versa, what proves you that his football is sustainable in Serie A?

Nicest PosterHis contract runs until 30 June 2024, despite the losses in Serie A, he's exceeded expectations in my book. Inter can't afford to pay him his contract, then sign someone new. Hell, Inter will have trouble signing players that need replacing and still probably have to sacrifice one of our proven starters. Then Inter has some golden handshakes too i.e Dalbert. It remains to be seen if Inter is sold, then the new owners will make changes and install their guys. It's not a "trust the process " situation, it's the most fiscally prudent thing to do right now.

10 years of FIFSo according to you we play a more offensive style then Napoli who just won the league? Simone has never been close despite missing the title last season by 2 freaking points? Like how much closer can he get without wining it?
As i said before i dont think his tactics are as out there as for example a Zeman or a bielsa...
I just dont see why inzaghis style should not be sustainable....

One thing to consider is that he is still learning. Not like he's a finished product as a manager. The guy is in his early prime still at 47 I think, and tactically he is quite good as proven by his chess-match ability in the big games. He certainly makes mistakes, some of his subs infuriate me at times still, but on the flipside he handles players extremely well and most importantly he develops their game. Great managers tap into player ability and squeeze the most from them and I think he has done that.
My hope is that he sticks around with a contract extension and we get a new owner sometime in the next year or two. Because I would like to see what he can do with an owner who gives him a nice budget every year (not necessarily a top budget) and allows him to do a little shopping to round out the roster the way he wants it. Could be that he doesn't have skills on the evaluational side, but that's the best way to find out and when you have a manager who maximizes the talent he's given that can reduce mistakes quite a bit.
What he's done with Lukaku as an example I expect Chelsea will try to re-incorporate him into their team next year. Because he is world class, absolute top level form at this moment in time, and he is about to play in a CL final where the world will see that quality. If we win the final I assure you one big element will be Lukaku. In the end it is players who win games not managers. Managers are crucially important, but players translate it all. So this manager has a ton of value to me and I am worried someone is going to poach him. Hopefully that doesn't happen though.

He deserves an off-season where we actually strengthen our team instead of patching it with band-aids. If his serie a form doesn’t improve, we should look to replace him.

Did you watch lukaku interview after the milan game in cl where he said inzaghi had to make adjustments to his tactics because the high press he was stubborn about was not sustainable? That's why some of the people here, including me, were saying from day one the way we play and how much energy we spend every single game was beyond ridiculous to work over the 38 games in the season. Those type of tactics can only work if you play only one competition, or you have unbelievable team depth, and I don't think we will be in either of those two situations any time soon. That's why people think it's not sustainable...
Luckily for us in this second part of the season he listened to the players and changed his approach a bit, so now you see much more conservatism, defending deep etc... than it was the case at the start of the season. Positive thing is if he can keep those changes and depth to his tactics, with few more signings and maybe prioritizing the league more and not keeping all the competitions at the same level of value we can probably be number one scuddetto contender next season. But if he returns to gung ho football with very little rotation, I can bet you my house you will again see those black holes in february and march, and why that type of football is not sustainable for the full title fight.

10 years of FIFIs there some indications Inzaghi would return to gung ho football after this spring, after we found our groove again with our more effective football?
I don't think we're going back there anymore. Inzaghi showed even in his first Inter season that we can play well defensively (32 conceded goals, Milan and Napoli had 31).
Also I think there were external factors after the summer which affected our start of the season, it wasn't too cohesive and united.
