Moratti can't say that Rafa been sacked yet because that would mean that Inter would need to pay full compensation. They are probably discussing how much they should pay in compensation.

That has to be the biggest load of bollocks I have heard in my life (not having a go at you).

1) He has not even been in Serie A for 10 years2) In 5 and a half years in Italy, he has won Serie A twice and that was with Inter: Inter had already won the league twice in a row before he had had signed. OK - he may have had one more Serie A title I think had Juve not got done for match fixing but he hasn't.
3) I can name several players who have contributed more to Italian football than him in the last decade. Totti being one.

Eh??

Zlatan played for Juventus from 2004-2006 and then Inter from 2006-2009 before going to Barca for one season (2009-2010) before moving to Milan for this season.

If anything, he's spent most OF the last 10 years IN Serie A.

Sounds like the Inter fans know that Rafa is right and that they must sign new players. Moratti is a very popular man but if he stops spending money then he will be less popular very fast.

Time to come home Rafa. We missed you.

Welcome back home Rafa, if it is true of course. Now I wish that your wish comes true and you get offered the job as manager of Liverpool FC.

He has come home, literally

Totti is probably the most overrated player in Serie A the last decade.

It doesn't matter if he played ten years in Italy or not. He won the league twice with Juventus and three times with Inter.

Don't think he has mate. He has won Serie A three times (and not twice as I originally stated) and that was with Inter. Juve have not won the title since 2002/2003: Ibra was still at Ajax then. I don't know where you are getting information from. As I said, Juve were deservedly stripped of the title in Ibra's first year there.

If you think Totti is overrarted, check his goalcoring record. Buffon, Daniel De Rossi, Maldini are a few more players who have contributed more to Seria A in the last 10 years than Ibra.

It'll never happen unless we fans ask for it...with one voice.

So...it'll never happen.

Just over 5 years

If the fans want this.

Blackpool away is where they can make it happen. I am sure many many many renditions of Rafa would let the owners know how the fans feel.

Won;t happen though as to many divided opinions.

Fixed that for you.

You're technically correct but between 2004-2006 Juve were the champions but were later stripped due to the match fixing allegations.
