She's Massimo Moratti's sister ie former owner of Inter who still hold around 30% of the shares. Massimo Moratti bought Inter through his family wealth and therefore Bedy was like a silent partner of Inter and still hold a job there till this very day

:lol:
 
Get him in now and we can still salvage something from this season's mess. I would make us favourites for the Europa League at least.
 
How can she possibly say something so incomprehensibly stupid?
 
Right, sack LvG now and get this done

That's my main doubt. I took an Italian course at the local college, but i'm starting to wish i'd stayed the whole hour.

Pretty interesting, not that surprising though considering Fergie would rather have Moyes than Mourinho. Bobby Charlton also said Ferguson doesn't like him that much

SAF has always had kind words to say about Mourinho. Always got the impression that he liked him quite a lot.
 
Rumors about him scouting players during Hertha vs BVB clash may have some substance to it now.

"No, I'm not Cina's mum and I can't change a fiver. Piss off."
 
Here's what I think happened

Mourinho was in Italy and Bedy Moratti whose a close friend to Maureen went to meet him. The idea was to see if he's ok and understand what their chances are of luring him back. Inter are a bit fickle in terms of everything and while they may be happy with Mancini for the time being they wouldn't mind showing him the door if they can get their hands on a better toy. The relentless italian media learnt about the meeting and went to investigate what was going on. Mourinho told her that he's signing for us and as a prima donna (she's a Moratti and an actress) she told the media everything and got her 5 minutes of glory.

She does seem saddened though so I guess the information is true.

If you add the part about Ed calling Mendes on Friday, its possible that Mou/Mendes accepted the invitation knowing it would force our hand. Just look at all the planted stories that came out about how we could lose him. I reckon that phone call must have happened and Ed has let Mendes know the job is his (Mourinho)

sounds plausible enough to me, I agree, I doubt she let it slip 'by mistake'...

I had that impression too until the Charlton comment and Moyes hiring.

Mourinho has always kissed Fergies and this clubs ass. Probably in an attempt to get the job

I much doubt it. The Moratti are very nice people. They are quite crap in terms of understanding how football works (they make Woodward and Gary Neville look like SAF and Shankly on steroids) but they are geniune Inter fans + they are absolutely adorable with football people they love ( Mourinho falls into that category). If Mourinho is in Italy then they would do their best to meet him and lets face it, who would say no to a rich and generous family who would offer you a job the minute you ask them to and wouldn't take it at heart if you say no them?

By how she spoke, she met him thinking she could lure him back to Inter only for her to notice that she stood no chance in doing that. The fact that Mou gave her the details (ie Im going to Manchester) makes me wonder if the deal was done and dusted for quite some time now
