In an exclusive interview with the newspaper La Repubblica, Erick Thohir attempts to set the record straight over rumours surrounding the future of Inter coach Walter Mazzarri. “I never gave an ultimatum despite reading about it often. I repeated the same thing six or seven times and I will do the same with you. I initiated this project with Mazzarri and so he can feel calm. It takes time in order to develop a plan but at the same time you must get results. If we continue to get negative results we will discuss it between us as we always do. The current injuries have hurt us but the team is good.”

Author’s note: Please bare in mind as this was published this morning the interview was before Verona. Nothing may have changed but it’s worth noting.
At this rate, i want mancini to come back. Actually i want mou, or simeone but they still have business with their current club
( ._.)….
This interview was not taken today, so mazzarri could still get sacked. Thohir is still in Milano and scheduling meetings with the directors. With Moratti as well.
Lets cross our fingers 🙂
You sir, are an idiot.
Same thing was said too Strama before he got kicked…
Yes, but strama was better than him. Moratti has always said that strama was a good coach I think thorin has something to do with the appointment of mazzari now he is eating his own shit.
Inter hired Mazzarri on May, Moratti-Thohir ownership discussion started on September, Thohir became Inter President on November. Logic?
Moratti-Thohir ownership discussion has not started in September. I do this job so I know how much does it take to make this transaction go trough. They probably started to talk in March/April
Well say I firmly belived that thorin has something to do with the appointment of mazzari. If itwas moratti decision, mazzari should have been fired since long. This guy is so stupid that he cannot change the formation.
Am starting to get pissed of with Tohir. It’s starting to dawn on me/us y moratti would not put up with him.
Thohir is good to be patient, but he must not wait too long or he risks losing the season, and this team NEEDS to get back into the Champions League, for financial and tactical reasons.
So much for the good news today 🙁
I still remember, four years ago there was a war between Mou and Mazzarri, Mourinho’s spokesman said about Mazzarri that “a donkey will never become a racehorse, and Mourinho believed that Mazzarri would never win anything because of his stubbornness” *SoDamnTrue* Ohhh great, now we stuck with a donkey with his 352-fetishism. Funnily, Mazzarri hit back like a teen and said that Mou only know how to talk, talk, talk… and we got treble at that year.
352 fetishism is good. I really don’t understand Mazzarri, when you can’t adopt the players to your system and continues get bad results, then you have to adopt the system to players at your disposal. Is Van Gaal dumber than Mazzarri because he changed three systems begin with 3 – 5 – 2 trough 4 – 2 – 3 – 1 and now 4 – 1 – 4 – 1 looking for balance forced by bad results?
mazzarri fails to use the great players of this team. in my eyes the central midfield should be emphasized more instead of the wings which he does now.
i would have liked to see inter in a 4-1-3-2 or a 4-2-2-2 formation with icardi/palacio forwards and:
4-1-3-2
– medel; kovacic hernanes, guarin
this one with the the tree as att.mids.
4-2-2-2
– medel, m’vila; kova, hernanes
this one with kova and harnanes as att.mids
our mid. is very good. its strange to see that he can’t see it himself.
one more important thing: please mazzarri, stop those long balls and crosses. so mutch possession has been lost because of that
we always had around 60% posession
doesn’t matter. possession is of no use if you don’t win matches.
a team can boast 100% possession. but, you fail to emphasize that the ball have been played in the defensive third an there has been a limited chances on goal. am i wrong if i state that inter have a limited count of shots on target? and again from where the shots have been taken does also matter, if you desperately shoots for birds on you own midfield.. what I’m trying to say is that possession alone don’t break through defences.
hm. i didn’t answer in context..
You need 3 quality centerbacks and 2 good wingers to play 3-5-2. And we have neither of those. Our team is not suited to play 3-5-2.
Man, I don’t remember this episode. Thanks a lot for bringing it up, this is great. This should be the next big banner from the Curva at our next home game.
He is a dick head and will not choose the formation.
Well said boss
dont be stupid mister Thohir!!! even with the point of view as a business man, you should know that the fans are starting to get bored with WM, if you dont fire him the fans wont come to the san siro again, and you wont get any income from gate receipts. Or should we really hire an assassin to kill him for you??
As i predicted. Just the type of businessman, not an interista like morratti who cant stand to watch his inter so cripple against lower team. He consider from all element before make decision to sack the coach. However, From his answer in full interview also he stated he will spend the money in the right time. Cant expect for proven players in january.
the matches are so boring to watch. please get rid of that man and his boring tactics.
The only entertainment and excitement I get from Inter nowadays is what I get when I play my old copy of FIFA 13 online. Which I try to do after every inter game
No boss, the team is not good, but it’s a smart move to stay patient until a better option comes up.
i hope u hear us and watch the game mister…. we’re hurt too much since last year. this is not “that” Inter T_T
no need for ultimatum. we already give WM too many chance. yet he still not gonna change his tactic or formation
Thohir come on!!!
SACK THIS CLOWN!!!
