"Inter"national Conspiracy

This is from Goal.com. Two recorded conversations between Moratti, Mancini and Mourinho

Act 1: Moratti and Mancini


Moratti: Hello Roberto, how are you?

Mancini: I am fine, thank you.

Moratti: How's the family?

Mancini: Good, thanks.

Moratti: Roberto, I have to give you some bad news.

Mancini: I knew it.

Moratti: I have to let you go.

Mancini: No, you want to let me go, it's different.

Moratti: No, don't say these things. You know, the team, I spoke to them and something is not right. So, it's better to change.

Mancini: Don't say this, you already had Mourinho lined up back in January.

Moratti: No, not at all, it's not what you think.

Mancini: Nooo! You have been giving me all sorts of stories and lies for months. I have always behaved in the right way and I have never lied to you. I cannot understand this decision.

Moratti: What are you talking about? Don't be like this, listen to me!

Mancini: Listen to what? You didn't even enjoy this centenary Scudetto.

Moratti: What has that got to do with this? Calm down and lets talk calmly.

Mancini: Seeing that you're letting me go, I can't even be bothered to listen to you anymore.

Moratti: Don't leave it like this, let us at least talk about a good exit payment.

Mancini: I don't want your good exit payment, you have to give me the money for my four years of contract and I won't even take off one Euro. But don't worry, you will be hearing from my lawyers and with this I am off.

Act 2: Moratti and Mourinho


Moratti: Hello? Jose?

Jose: It is me

Moratti: The job is done. I can now begin to talk seriously with you about coming to manage our marvellous club!

Jose: We will be needing to discuss my special salary, special players and of course my special coat that I will be needing.

Moratti: What?

Jose: Maybe scarf too. I have seen the snow in Milan at times. It is the time of year I grow my hair. Like dog.

Moratti: Jose, what are you talking about?

Jose: Shut up. I am talking. What was I saying?

Moratti: Something about your scarf...

Jose: Yes, of course, where is it?

Moratti: Your scarf? I don't know Jose, I've no idea what you are talking about!

Jose: Are you going to offer me job?

Moratti: Ahh, yes, of course! Inter Milan has just won 3 Scudettos in a row and we are now needing to get a new coach to make final push in Champions League. We think you could be that coach, Jose!

Jose: I could be. Possibly. If you think. I don't say so, you say this. Hmmm.

Moratti: Tha Champions League, Jose. Think of the glory you could achieve! To win it again!

Jose: Would be nice, yes. How much you pay?

Moratti: We think in the region of £8m Euros per year, with an extra £1.5m in bonuses for victories on the league and in europe?

Jose: Is that all? I am earning more with my programme on Setanta Sports. And they provide scarf. And coat. You can match?

Moratti: Of course. A new coat each week!

Jose: I will take. But you have to guarantee we don't play Liverpool. Them? I do not like to play. My old friends at Chelsea may help me though.
