You Were Nothing But A Number
By: Steven | November 23rd, 2009
It’s the end of the Spiderman-era. 12th place after 13 games, only four wins. Bye Bye project, bye bye Big Mouth Zenga. Another endless season. As you might recall, I didn’t want him around from the start. Another one bites the dust.
Lesson of the day? Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk.

one thing I hope Rossi does is kick Bresciano’s back to Melbourne, fuck me is that guy a waste of a midfield spot or what?

Funny you say that Ricci. In fact he may indeed be Melbourne brand as the local A-League is introducing new team and Mark was touted to be a marquee signing. However, he won’t want to leave as staying with Palermo gives him the opportunity to keep playing at elite level and remain available for World Cup selection.

As a Lazio supporter, I am envious that Palermo have just signed Delio as their new coach. He is a great manager and one in which Lazio should not of let leave.
Now we are stuck with Palermo’s rubbish (Ballardini) in which poor decisions, hopeless tatics & formations and bad player call ups leaves us in the relegation zone.
If I were you, I’d be very happy with Rossi as your coach and not Ballardini anymore.

I’m a laziale also. As a tactician, Delio is impeccable. He is very good at getting the best out of a squad as evident by the fact he took our crap list to a draw with Real Madrid in the Champions League (we should’ve won).
Only has 2 real problems. Poor man management, we had very bad dressing room issues which we are still affected by today, and he has a tendency to give certain players too much of a chance.
I think he’ll fail at Palermo though, not because he is ‘crap’ but because Zamparini will send him back to Rome after his first run of poor form. And that will be disappointing, cause he is a proven quality manager when given the time as he was at Lazio.

Alright Delio, when did you learn English slash move to Australia?

Ballardini was a good manager for us. He recognized the strengths of all of his players and had them playing as a single unit. He didn’t try to keyhole players into certain positions as ALL of our managers had done in the past.
Lazio has a lot of problems in the dressing room and has a selfish, selfish, forward who never passes the ball to anyone. The freezing out of Ledesma and Pandev certainly hasn’t helped either. 98% of teams would kill to have that kind of talent on their roster, yet Lazio’s president lets them rot.
Grass is always greener on the other side guys. Last year most Laziale wanted Delio gone but now you would welcome him back? No doubting his tactical astuteness but he is just very bi-polar.

Grass aint greener. Delio’s time at Lazio had come to an end. Was clear that the team needed a change and the working relationships between players-coach and president were ruined. Franco reckons we should never have let him leave. We didn’t. He opted not to renew his contract cause he didn’t want to work with Lotito anymore. He won’t be the last man to take that decision.
I just don’t think that Delio gets enough credit for what he did at Lazio, largely due to the final 2 years being poor league campaigns. Yet I remember after we finished 3rd, Juve were sniffing around with interest.

Lets just sell everyone and build a new team. Kjaer is about to leave lets just accept it.
Keep Sirigu, Cassani, Balzaretti, Nocerino, Pastore and Cavani. Humus for the experience .. and just sell everyone else (yeah im not even joking they are all old or shit) Miccoli doesnt seem like he even cares anymore .. wtf.. .. and sack sabatini .. and zampa sell the team .. or nadas gonan change.
So has anyone been watching nilmar .. wow he is good .. for brazil he was ripping up england .. at villareal now he finally got a starting position he scoring lots. Shame we didnt get him in the end. Then again we got budan who needs nilmar when u have an obese croat who has been injured more then fit in his whole career.
Woo

Sack Sabatini? Now that would be hasty. Maybe “Coach Z” stood for Zamparini rather than Zenga. So disappointed with this all too familiar situation.

Why doesnt Zampa coach the squad and then he can sack himself?

“Lo scudetto? Possiamo vincere perche vogliamo lo scudetto”-Sig. Zenga
it should be, “Voglio un posto” hahhahahahahha FORZA ROSSI…and at KJ agreed =pPosted from

Delio Rossi is a great coach and wish you to be successful under him but it all depends on Zampa’s permanent PMS.
Delio is better than Zenga (for now) but Zenga should have been given more time. I understand fans high expectations but an owner should be more level headed. More changes=more money out o’pocket!

My opinion is never ever to do Melinte, Morganella, Succi and Budan purchases and Zamparini has to give someone at least one season on the coach spot. Cavani has to go, he wants to leave Palermo for a bigger club. Find a good hier to Liverani and replace(as I said earlier) Melinte, Morganella, Succi, Budan and Cavani with higher quality/more promising players, then we improve our team quality, logically it should make us better in everyway, of course it can fail but I would love to see us spend a little bit more on the market for players that would almost guarantee a better quality than Budan/Succi

palermo will never advance while zamparini is in charge. the whole culture at the club has become a bit of a joke with all the sackings.
what quality manager in their right mind would want to work for zampa seriously???
he replaced foschi with sabatini??? how zampa just expects you to challenge for the top 4 is mind boggling when you think about how he wont actually reinforce the team properly

What is the point in replacing melinte and morganella .. they are kids that dont even appear in our squad? First team players need the cut .. and it needs to be ferocious. I think miccoli has become to content and knows he has a starting spot. Sell cavani? wtf .. he hasnt asked to move .. he gives 100% .. he misses some chances but he scored alot last year … players like bresciano and simplicio who think they are better then they are need replacing .. both older .. both nearing the end of their contracts .. both can get us a little money in january .. but insted of clearing the trash we want it to stay around longer with new contracts. When you run a club and keep players just because they are friends with the chairman u will always fail. We are going to fai lagain coz nothing is going to change. I was always a backer of zampa but im starting to feel enough is enough .. no man is bigger then our club. He needs to grow up.

I’m not against the idea of selling Cavani as long as it’s for a solid Stryker and ~10 million €’s… Cavani is young and you’re right there but he’s mad it public thar he wants to move on to a large Champions league side in England and I can’t come to blame him but should we be his stepping stone while he matures? We should sell him either for all cash ~15 million €’s or sell him for another Stryker who is developed, and could score without Miccoli feeding him with a silver spoon…As for Breciano send him to Udinese with some cash and get D’Agostino (yea it’s ridicoulous but it’s worth a shot…And for the Brazilian Bear (Simlplicio) we could try and sell him to Lazio where Ballardini is waiting for his minchia, and in exchange we should try and get Ledesma.

Cavani said he wants to leave for the epl when? was it some goal.com bs? Cavani would stick around if we could finish in a decent fkn position but we wont. We had a team packed with future stars and so much potential and its falling apart. Big clubs accross europe would love a taste of the likes of kjaer, pastore, cassani and cavani and they are all young and we have them in 1 team but we are fuck ups. Udinese wouldnt take bresciano .. they are a team that signs young african or south americans and turns them into big bucks .. bresciano is going to sign an extension as is fozzy bear lets just accept reality .. we are going to suck for quite a while longer. Miccoli is going down hill .. our backup squad and bench is neear enough serie b standard. We had a chance this summer to make this team actually worthy of fighting hard … we should have beaten the likes of parma to dzemalli but we sit around takign oru sweet fkn time .. sabaweeny can take the blame we have succi and budan who are fat piles of crap that cant finish. The only good thing to come from this season is discovering how badass sirigu is but if we continue to suck he will be gone at the end of next year also … zampa needs to wake up bring in some stability and let the managers sign and sell who they want not his friends.
God im going crazy because another palermo team with great potential is going to be broken up because of a few oveaged overpaid crapsters that wont perform and awful awful leadership.

You know what Gigi I really have to say that your sum up was better than mine was and I would give you the Sporting Director job if I was Zampa =p
