Erick Thohir

We went from being linked with Dzeko to Lavezzi and now Menez. Before you know it Gilardinho will be our marquee singing

Big changes coming our way

This mornings edition of Turin based newspaper Tuttosport delivers some alarming news for the leadership of Inter, in particular the technical department. Dave Kasper general manager of DC United , handed over to Erick Thohir a report he has compiled. The result is a rejection across the board, particularly for the sports department.

Kasper, similar to Thohir, has constantly been visiting Milan and northern Italy to learn the secrets of our football, getting many details, assessing and comparing with those of the Inter planet. Last week, for example, Kasper has attended four games (Parma -Varese , Inter – Trapani , Bologna – Juventus and Inter – Parma) while thoroughly analysing the youth sector and the structure of the scouts , but also the entire area sports club, splitting between the office and Pinetina. His response was negative, especially with regard to the organization of the sporting sector. One area has impressed the most however, the Youth sector passed with flying colors, although speaking with observers he gave indications on the work of scouts which will still have to be changed.

It goes without saying, however, that the failure of the technical department, brings into question the figure of Marco Branca: “The rejection of the sporting department – it says – will lead to major changes in the structure of the club, the revolution that was supposed to be bland and at the end of season ,may already take place in early February, after the market has been completed in January, it’s considered the last urgent deadline before a period of relative stalemate, especially at managerial level . Given the criticism from Kasper, it’s evident there is always the risk to Marco Branca and the Sporting Director (Piero Ausilio)”

There are reports tension is growing between new Inter President Erick Thohir and Massimo Moratti.

Both the Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport have the story on their front pages this morning, claiming there is a sudden ‘deep freeze’ in their rapport.

Indonesian investor Thohir bought out 70 per cent of the club from Moratti in November, though the original patron still has a seat on the Board of Directors.

According to today’s newspapers, there is a split emerging within the club between those who wanted Moratti to have more of a say in the running of Inter and those who expect Thohir to bankroll an impressive transfer campaign.

Instead, Thohir seems set to sell one of the Nerazzurri’s big names to fund the January transfer strategy.

Andrea Ranocchia, Fredy Guarin and to a lesser extent Samir Handanovic are all on the market for the right price.

It would frustrate fans who expected the Indonesian magnate to flood the club coffers with his own cash rather than sell stars to bring in others

Personally i support whatever Thohir is doing only because we saw what the old ways could lead to. Plus Guarin and especially Ranocchia are not our best performers so cashing out on them is not a problem to me. Handanovic might be a different story but the fact that he will be replaced by Bardi softens the blow

So apparently every Inter match (and only Inter matches) is being aired in Indonesia. That global marketing

Erick Thohir assured “Walter Mazzarri will be the Inter Coach next season too” after this morning’s meeting.

The President met with Mazzarri, directors Piero Ausilio and Marco Fassone at the club HQ this morning and spoke to journalists as he left.

“Walter Mazzarri will be the Inter Coach next season too,” he assured the media.

“We must react together and face the last six games in the best way, then we’ll see what the market offers.”
