So much for our hero president and his unmatched, big heart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

I've always felt Moatti cared about Inter more than Berlu did about Milan. this somehow proves it. though, of course, there are many other reasons why I say that.

When was the last time Berlu was seen at a Milan game anyway? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yeah, Moratti attends every game as far as I know.

OMG I can't believe I'm reading this. Now Moratti cares more about Inter then Berlusconi based on the money he spent? Up until very recently, the Calciopoli, for 10 years Moratti has been depicted as a money-throwing clown in charge of a underachieving tragicomic team. Now based on a few recent years (while Berlusconi has been the Prime minister of Italy and is considerably older) we tend to give a general assumption that Berlusconi's love for Milan is BS and that Moratti has a bigger heart?

Agree with Fillipo, let's not build theories based on this stat. Moratti was a the laughing stock of Italian football for years and wasted large amounts on flops time after time. Having said that, it's clear that Barlu's involvement in Milan in recent years is nothing like in his earlier years.

I don't think the on field flops are really a good criticism on an owner. If he shows up and gives the money people want to sign players, the he's a good owner. It's not his fault if a player is signed for £20m who turns out crap, he just trusts people to use his money wisely.

If he's not spending money and the team is an embarassment, then yes, that's a fair criticism.

I don't think there are many owners in football who support their team any more fierce than Morratti does, in my opinion.

No? Then what about the fact that he's fired numerous coaches on short-term spans, threw away money for questionable signings while missing the potentially good players he had (just think of Seedorf, Pirlo) and finally buying Robbie Keane for a staggering amount of money based on how well he did with Inter on his son's Championship Manager game? To name just a few.

Just wow

So what if Moratti until recently was depicted as a money-throwing clown? If anything, that shows dedication. You must also realize that Moratti's father was the president of Inter as well for 13 years, so for him it's a very sentimental case. Berlusconi purchased Milan in order to use it as a tool for power, everyone knows that. Sorry man, but this time I just can't agree with you.

Everyone sells players. Look at Milan with the likes of Vieira, it happens. And as I said, not all owners sign players, they just fund the purchases. I don't know if Moratti himself picks out the players and signs them, I imagine not since Mourinho wouldn't work under that (part of the reason he left Chelsea) and as such I don't think blaming the owner for that is fair.

Sacking managers isn't exactly a sign of not caring? If anything it's over-caring. His reactions to defeats are overblown and he overreacts.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) You're losing me here. What's that got to do with how much he loves Inter?

Actually no.

Since childhood, Berlusconi had been an ardent fan of the famous Milanese football club, AC Milan. His father had taken him regularly to the stadium on Sundays. It belonged, so he said, to 'the sphere of affections', not to that of economic calculation. He hesitated a long time before making the purchase. (From: Ginsborg, Silvio Berlusconi: Television, Power And Patrimony 2005, 53).


It has to do with his overall ability, which up to Calciopoli was ridiculed in Italy.
So not directly connected with love. But anyway, I think it's pretty much nonsense of talking who "loves" his club more.

Save it Fillipo, they are just looking for an excuse to go at Silvio. While neglecting common knowledge such as what Silvio's Milan has won in comparison to Moratti's inter.

I haven't even mentioned Silvio. Mine were aimed at agreeing with a previous poster that Moratti is a very passionate owner. He lives Inter.

I agree with what kurt and X-Off said. I argue Silvio used the club to boost his image and no one can say I'm wrong on that, but what did Moratti use Inter for? he loves Inter, his father was also the owner, it's in his blood. don't let your fanboyism cloud your vision. success? yeah, Silvio was the smarter one, no arguments there. but genuine love for their club? I give it to Moratti.


EDIT: I even hate that clown FFS. but I can't close my eyes on the truth.

Wait, you honestly think it's only love that binds Moratti to Inter and his fathers heritage? Then you don't know a thing about Italian business and politics.
