Inter Milan: The Revolution Begins

Stramaccioni Sacked!

Inter Milan have announced that Andrea Stramaccioni has been fired, former youth coach (and now manager).
The Inter board has stated:

Inter Board:

---

The Internazionale board made this decision after a less then satisfactory 6th place finish in last years Serie A.

The favourites to replace Stramaccioni are Jose Mourinho (8/1), Pep Guardiola (10/1) and Carlo Ancelotti (20/1). Inter Milan refuse to comment on this matter.

Nice start to the story! I wonder who will get it

Legend Mazzola Hired

Former Inter Milan striker and club legend Sandro Mazzola has been announced as new manager of FC Internazionale Milano.The former Attacking Midfielder/Striker, who scored 116 goals for the only club he played for was today announced as the clubs manager, after reportedly beating off the likes of Jose Mourinho, despite being 70 years of age. Mazzola will reportedly earn £16,750 a week, although it is a wonder how Inter can afford it, with their reported debt of £810million.
More to come...

lol, I see what you did there

A Meeting With Moratti

"Hello, Mr.Mazzola, I would like to welcome you to the club and ensure you you have the full backing of the board."
"Please, Massimo don't be so formal. Call me Sandro."
"I trust you already know about the clubs history, having been part of it yourself."
"Of Course."
"I regret to inform you we can only afford to give you a poultry £2.8milliona and £1.28million for wages, as long as you challenge for the title. Does that sound Okay?"
"Yes that's fine.I understand the club is in acres of debt currently."
"You are due to meet the media tomorrow or thereabouts.Is that fine with you?"
"Yes, I can deal with media fine thanks."
"Alright, that concludes this meeting Sandro.
I wish you a successful rein as Inter Milan manager.
You should meet with assistant manager shortly.
Goodbye."
"Goodbye."

Mazzola's view: This meeting went very well, I look forward to moving this club in the right direction.
That's all for today folks.

Nicely done :), Enjoying this story, will be reading!

Co-Ownership.

OK, I just thought I'd write about co-ownership (compartecipazione), to explain it to those who do not know what it is.
In Italy many players are co-owned.If they are co-owned their name will appear in Orange. For a player to be co-owned they must have at least 2 years on their contract. At Inter, the most big-name player to be co-owned is Samir Handanovic, unfortunately I do not have enough money to buy out Udinese's share which creates a problem, seeing as my only goalkeeper is 36 years old, but more on that later.A player can be co-owned for 1 or 2 years.When his coownership finishes, both clubs must bid, the highest bidder winning. Co-ownership is also outside of Italy in places such as Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Co-ownership is mainly used on young players, as you can see how they grow for 1 or 2 years and then decide whether to buy out the opposing teams 50% if he's developed well.
Going back to Inter, I have had to offer nearly all my reserves with decent potential for co-ownership, because they have potential, but I need money.

I'll get back to the story next.
I was GOING to do a squad report but my stupid, uber-sensitive mac mouse with no wheel scrolled back to the home page TWICE

The Big Earners and what Mazzola intends to do with Them

1.Wesley Sneijder- Sell Now
An exceptional player, yes. But he takes up way to much of the wage bill.Offloading him will take my wage budget from 4k to £179k. I should be able to get around £30 million for him as well,at least £20 million. Alex Ferguson will be receiving a call.Admittedly this won't be popular with the fans, but neither is the clubs debt.

2. Diego Milito- Sell in 2 years
Another great, great player. I would like to keep him so I can develop a young striker, just for his experience, but eventually he will need to be shifted.

3. Esteban Cambiasso- Keep
If I'm going to sell Sneijder there's no way I'll sell Cambiasso. A key, key player, despite Baresi saying he is only 'good.'

Everybody Else
Javier Zanetti will be kept to tutor Ibrahima Mbaye. Palacio might be sold, depends if there is another young striker who will replace him.Stankovic also could be sold when he recovers from his injury.Chivu also might be sold when he recovers from injury, as I am looking to bring in Jores Okore.Cassano will be kept.
Mazzola's View: This may seem like a clearout, but it is really a revolution.

oooh :), nice update looking at the transfer possibilities :D, Jores Okore looks like a good option.

So, who is gonna be the replacement of sneijder?

I'll suggest you take a look at Dzagoev

A Meeting with Baresi

"Hello, Sandro.As you know I am your assistant manager at the club.It is my job to guide you through your first day and offer any advice you wish."
"Hello, Giuseppe. Please may you propose a marriage friendly between the reserve and senior teams."
"Okay, I've arranged the wedding arranged the friendly specified.I have a squad report if you would like to see it."
"Yes please."
"Should I arrange a meeting with the other members of your backroom staff?"
"I think that would be very beneficial for them, please do."
"I can send you reports on the advice your backroom staff give you if you want."
"Twice a year please.That wraps it up I think Giuseppe. Bye."
"Bye."
Mazzola's View: A good meeting.

Yeah, I know I, love him! Might buy Kara instead though, depends whose cheaper.
I've also approached a young Brazilian Center back and attacking mid.
