Arn's laminated full-sized Rafa stand in his bedroom has taken one hell of a splattering over the last 24 hours me thinks

Plus morratti has always been known to throw huge amounts of money at his managers disposal so why didn't he do the same for Rafa is beyond me.

Marcotti said the other night that Benitez wasn't Moratti's first choice and he only got him because he needed a big name to placate the Ultras.

I'm not sure how credible all that is since he's sacked him despite the fans supporting Rafa but it would explain why he didn't give him any money to spend.

Rafa & Roy have more things in common than i thought, they both managed Liverpool F.C. & they both failed miserably at Inter Milan

Rafa had an absolute nightmare at Inter Milan although replacing Jose was always going to be an uphill battle. Anyways no surprise he got the boot.

I wonder how the ultras will react if/when Moratti appoints Milan legend Learnardo.

[Shaggy]

No surprise at all, given that he clearly engineered it himself.

Or indeed, Milan legend Capello

New FA Chairman appointed today and if the FA can somehow muster the cash, you'd think they'd be looking to sack Capello. Of course though, this Inter situation may just save them a lot of cash. If i were at the FA, i'd very much be looking for Inter to come along and make the whole thing easier for them, by taking Capello and paying a nice wad of compensation into the bargain. Win-win for the FA.

Until the next mug also fails.

Just when I thought the Metro couldn't get any more embarrassing, they start linking Rafa with the Blackburn job

[Craig_H]

Yes, i'm sure after all the issues he had with a lack of financial backing at LFC and Internazionale, the one carrot he'd never be able to resist, is that of a £5m transfer budget to turn Blackburn into a top-four club
