I didn't imply that others should do what I want them to do; opening threads about subject that I like. What I implied is that there is more than a dozen members on this forum that spends hours of their day on it, opening threads, posting replies, bringing some news that in comparison to the World Cul final for club teams fall into nothing. And it was to those steady ISP posters that i was addressing the issue, not to those like me who might visit the forum once in a couple of weeks.
And besides, I did open a forum about it on the first occassion that I had after the final whistle. Thatis hours after those steady posters were already online and undoubtedly the majority of yo had already heard the news.
Your point of view on my remark/notion, can in no way weaken it; the highest achievable prize on club level is won and hours later, still not one mention from the steady posters.
I beg to differ on the notion that there are more Serie A fans on this forum in comparison to the EPL fans. I don't hold that to be true, especially not among the daily posters. And if one was online, I like to beef it out with him as well.
But lets focus on MIlan. Thanx for posting that article Westi, I will try to read it. I also completely agree with what you wrote about how more influential Sacchi's work was in comparison to Capello's. In fact, I like to argue that Capello single handedly destroyed a large part of what Sacchi had built. He brought is nuts like Davids, Reiziger, Bogarde, Kluivert (who unfortuantely for you afterwards went to Barca) and many more that according to Capello should have been the bridge that would accomodate Milan's transition from romantic, technical football into modern, physical football. We all know how that worked out: Milan's underachievements in the late 90's were all due to that. The fact that he beat Barca in Athens had nothing to do with his management, but everything to do with the structure that Sacchi had built and with Capello's own great coaching skills. Let me sum it up like this: Both Sacchi and Capello are world class coaches, as Van Basten a couple of weeks ago ranked them as the second best ever behind, of course, Cruyff, but the difference is that Sacchi was a visionair and Capello not (although he believes to be one).
And by the way, I owe you an appology for not having responded to the thread I started about Van Basten and letting you to carry on the argument alone, but I have been very busy and right after this post will revive that thread.
