MC11 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Inter Milan would be a good move for any manager. Forgetting recent seasons Inter are still one of the biggest clubs in Europe. They're a tier above us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 If Inter are broke and want to go for a manager that is currently out of work to save on costs..... I'd say that rules him out too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 They can all fuck off! Besides, Serie A? That's such a washed up league now. In the 90's it was THE league to watch in Europe. The style of football was boring but they attracted many top players. It's now lagging well behind La Liga, Premiership and Bundesliga. No way would it be a positive move. Only if you were unemployed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Seria A isn't what it used to be that's for sure but it still has 4-5 top teams that could attract top players with the click of a finger should money be available. And Inter are one of those clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Inter Milan more prestigious? Barely. They're the equivalent of Liverpool in a poor, corrupt league; all their success is in the past and thats not going to change any time soon.

Isnt that sort of like buying an old banger of a Car because of what it was like back in its hayday? Its not going to do 0-60 in 5 seconds like it used to, or be half as luxurious. Instead, it will keep falling apart and burn a hole in your wallet whilst doing so. Italian football is of dire quality at the moment and not to mention, rife with corruption. Most players are going there towards the end of their Careers and doing pretty well (Tevez, Llorente,Gervinho) but it would be a disastrous move for Roberto career wise.

Bigger stadium, bigger fan base , much more illustrious history, much more global brand than us... I could go on all night. To say managing Inter Milan is. a step down from Everton is just stupid.

Forgetting the historical stuff it would be a step down because it would be a cut in wages, that's largely how job progression is measured isn't it?

It's measured solely on which club you're managing and Inter Milan is one of the biggest Jobs in the world. That's why they've always been able to attract top managers. That's like saying Eto'o progressed by going to Anzhi from Inter Milan because he was getting more money. Or Beckham progressed going to Galaxy from Madrid.

Leave Apple earning £100,000 and join Lidl earning £110,000 and your personal career has progressed. Not complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger clubs you've played for the better your career. Not the pay cheque unless you deem that to be the sole success of a footballer. I tend to think it's measured on trophies and the clubs you played for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'm not even getting embroiled in this. Inter Milan are a massive club and much bigger than us and will once again become a major player and the manager who makes them become that will be a legend. There's more chance of turning them into cl winners than us they have all the right boxes ticked to be bought out by a billionairre. It's Italian football stopping that and that wont last forever. Inter Milan or Everton?? Hmmm give me about 10 seconds to decide which club a footballer would choose to play for. MC11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm personally saying is that, from a career perspective, we're a far greater proposition than a former giant club playing in a league/country riddled with corruption in a league that is easily the worst standard from the main 4 leagues in Europe and full of no mark players.

No chance Mike, earning more money does not have a correlation with career progression. Has Scott Sinclair progressed from Swansea because he earned more money at City?

Put us in that league we would challenge for the title. If I was a player and I wanted to play and develop.... Everton all day long. If I wanted a badge saying I play for a club who used to class and now are falling into obscurity in a truly awful league I would choose Inter.

Newty82 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I think the point of the 'no way Inter' argument (and thank god Martinez has been taken out of the debate...that rumour is ridiculous) is not against Inter as a club, but Serie A as a league. Serie A has slipped hugely over the last 10-15 years. They got complacent. Other main leagues like La Liga, Premier and Bundesliga continued to progress and attract fresh investment and develop exciting football. Serie A stalled big time. It may wake up again, because there are a number of 'prestige' clubs in Italy. But I think as a manager you would weigh up the league as well as the club. Also the culture, style of football etc. Inter as a club have slipped the last 5 years. They went through the 90's struggling a lot of the time. That continued into the early 2000's. But then under new ownership enjoyed a fairly successful 10 year or so spell. But that was done at huge cost which left them with 4-500 million debt. They ran at annual loses of around 40 million. At the moment they still have big debts, and dwindling income. But a new owner. So who knows? Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
