Spinelli slams Amelia!
Monday 15 January, 2007

Livorno President Aldo Spinelli has hit out at Marco Amelia after his comments following the dismissal of Coach Daniele Arrigoni. “I want to sell him,” he stated.

The outspoken chief sacked the tactician after the 5-1 hammering against Atalanta on Sunday, causing the entire team’s furious reaction.

Captain Cristiano Lucarelli stated that he supported the ex-Cagliari boss and goalkeeper Amelia confirmed that his teammates wanted Arrigoni to stay.

“Amelia has a sharp tongue, like all Romans,” said Spinelli in an interview to GR Parlamento. “I hope I will be able to sell him in January, otherwise he will sit on the bench.

“I tried to teach him good manners, but he ended on the bench in every club he played for. I hope he immediately finds a new outfit.”

Spinelli, whose side is only four points shy of the Champions League spots, also replied to Lucarelli, who hinted that he might take drastic measures if the situation does not improve.

“He is the captain, but if the team wanted to save Arrigoni they should have all played better – words mean nothing now. In any case, Lucarelli is contracted for another five years.”

The President will meet with the board of directors on Monday, but is set to confirm his decision.

“I do not believe I will change my mind, we earned three points in eight matches with a 26-man squad. We have no excuses for yesterday, we either failed the preparation or the formation.”

Bortolo Mutti and Serse Cosmi are both being paired with the Tuscan minnows, although it seems that the latter’s financial requests might be considered excessive by the outfit.

Galliani is in his mode again: 'hear no evil, see no evil' .. till someone snaches him .. Then, he'd come out w/ a coment 'had he wanted to do this/that/the other, he would have come to Milan, but he choose to learn english/spanish/french .. '
Nothing new to see, move on children

Yeah grab him... and then give him to Giuve to get Buffon!! 

no we should wait a little bit longer, hes 24 and he needs some more experience.  Dida aint done yet

Yes Dida .. I am very satisfied with Dida !!

I don't want Buffon or Amelia, (unless Dida leaves us) .. Dida is the best !

Don't you remember his two games against Lyon last season

Dida is very good but buffon is better, younger and can use his feet

Even though we've tried repairing our bridges with Juve I still think they haven't really forgiven us over calciopoli.

There's no such thing... 

I can't see us signing Buffon anytime soon. Even though we've tried repairing our bridges with Juve I still think they haven't really forgiven us over calciopoli. Galliani can sprout all his BS about Spanish teams able to sign players etc, but the fact of the matter is that if we had kept in with Juve then we would have been able to sign Ibra(thank God we didn't ), Zambro and Buffon.

BTW Amelia has also stated that he wants to play for Roma, it seems he's desperate to leave Livorno.
