ummmmmmmmm.. thought about it. Yes I wouldn't expect a new coach to "clean up the mess" right away. But at least we know next year we don't have the same idiot masterminding this team. I now think this team needs more than a new coach. Clearly our players are not at the level we thought. As much as we need a new coach we need some more talent.

We don't know that, and he can't possibly anounce it if he did.

If there is a long term viable replacement for Rossi available now, then yes fire him, but I don't think there is. The person they have in mind, and I guarantee there is one) is obviously currently unavailable. Here's the problem with firing Rossi without a permanent replacement - we pick up an interim coach who will not be back next year and who will certainly be less tactically sound than Rossi (let's not be rediculous, he may have lost the confidence of the team but he's not completely retarded, he knows football). The team will not feel it is necessary to play for this new guy and it may just completely destabilize the team. This may be a lose lose situation but perhaps its just better to leave Rossi for the rest of the year and play ourselves out of this mess.

Another defeat!

I agree. This team simply stinks and bad luck has nothing to do with it. I'm sure you can say reggina has had their share of bad luck too. I think I was also wrong about foggia, now I see why he only comes in the second half when he does play. He messed up some great chances and was invisible in the second half.

Zarate is slowly becoming the new makinwa and should be used as a backup striker or a midfielder. This kid cannot score if his life depended on it and merely fluked his first few goals.

You might be able to say that if this team wins the next 3 in a row we could be in pole position for a uefa spot again. But one thing you CAN'T say is that this team is good and stands out in serie a. This team has joined reputations with teams in relegation and the bottom 6.

The arrival of Carrizo and Zarate looked to be the two factors that would turn this team around and both players turned out to be the biggest flops. If both these players leave I can't see their replacements being any worse. In fact if we got a large sum of money for zarate I would sell him now before he turns into another makinwa investment.

I'm sure the tone of this forum has changed brother, we all just realized the team sucks and can't defend it anymore. Yes we love Lazio ... but the team itself sucks.
