The titles he has won have undoubtedly been alot to do with Calciopoli, but I guess it has been the CL that has proved his tactical worth more often than not. Untill recently he seems to get away with alot more in Serie A. At least till the last month or so, when he seems to have gone found out. It just seems a strange descion to announce this now I guess. Why not actually wait till the end of the season? Its only going to cost Inter in the short term. At least it gives Roma a shout again.

Mancini is a very, very limited man tactically and his fate was written a long ago. The only thing which allowed his can to sit on the pine this long was Calciopoli and its wake. Otherwise, he was unemployed 12 months ago. Now that the dust has settled somewhat, sun's shining on a braindead chimp. It really pains me to say this, but with a moderately intelligent coach, Inter walks through Pool like it's a Sunday stroll in the park.
