A drink wih Marcello Lipi

[burning blue soul]

it doesnt take a rocket scientist to work that one out. lets do the maths together shall we?

man city(down on luck team) + adug(one of worlds richest man) = big changes

 

[Balti]

I bumped into the Special One at Pontins and he said big things were afoot ;-) or was it the special brew.....

 

[wearethesouthstand]

lippi lives about 20 miles north of pisa, in between the beautiful seaside towns of viareggio and forte dei marmi, so he is probably is in and around that area all the time

it's easy to be cynical but fair play to this lad if he has gathered this information

theres been loads of reports about lippi learning english as he wants to coach over here.........and if this dude is in Italy and has just had the bottle to talk to lippi.....then fair play to him, i dont see any reason not to believe him.......lets hope hes right about big changes this summer....

I am writing this from my hotel in Pisa Italy where I am on Holiday about 3 hours ago me and the Mrs were out for a pre lunch stroll when Lo and behold Lippi was doing a film shoot for a fashion house,in a Piazza.They stopped for lunch I assume all headed for a Trattoria next door so did we..after a few glasses of house vino..I approached the great man for a few words...wow he speaks great english and he is fully aware of what MCFC are tring to do,but for me the best bit was he said or words to the effect that to expect big changes this summer...

i guess he didnt drop any names then?? damn im tired of everybody knowing something about city this summer when us the fans know bugger all.....something big seems to be happening.....and it seems to be being kept totally under wraps from the press

Unless he's had a lot of lessons recently, Lippi does not speak great English.

To be fair that article is from a year and a half ago. Plenty of time to have learned considering he knew it would be a disadvantage back then.

From the man himself (and that's from 18 months ago so he's had plenty of time to improve):

"Being a manager of a top English club attracts me, given what I have achieved in Italian football and for the national side. There are some people who think that can't happen because I don't speak English.

"But that is not right because actually I can speak English quite well and have spent the last year improving my command of the language."
