but why Moratti always denied he ever called the ref's chief?
He didn't. This is an interview by Moratti, of August 31th 2006, in which he says exactly the opposite, today La Gazzetta published it again, unlike Tuttosport it’s a more reliable and unbiased paper but even if you don’t think so, they just copied and pasted an old interview given to the Corriere della Sera magazine :
http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Inter/09-04-2010/moratti-aveva-gia-detto-603587325050.shtmlThis is the most relevant part :
Journalist : “Moggi claims that also Facchetti used to talk to Bergamo (the referee designator)”.
Moratti : “There’s nothing in wrong in talking to Bergamo, the difference lies in what it is said in those conversations”.
Journalist : “The less you talk to the designators, the better”.
Moratti : “It’s them who used to call us (presidents) to know whether anything was alright or not”.
Journalist : “So we can’t exclude that one day new wiretappings in which you are involved will come out…”
Moratti : “ They’re normal phone conversations, with nothing relevant at all”.
Back then it wasn’t forbidden to talk to the designators, NOW it is and the rule has been changed after 2006.
not even Moggi's show that (unless someone wants to see that).
Sure :
Moggi: "Hello."
Pairetto: "Hey, I know you forgot about me but I didn't forget about you."
Moggi: "Come on..."
Pairetto: "Hey I've chosen a great ref for the Amsterdam game."
Moggi: "Who is it?"
Pairetto: "Meier."
Moggi: "Great!"
After Juve v Djugarden 2-2.
Moggi: "What fuckin' ref did you send us?"
Pairetto: "Fandel is among the best..."
Moggi: "Yeah but Miccoli's goal was fine."
Pairetto: "No, he was in front of the defenders."
Moggi: "It was good, it was good."
Pairetto: "No, he was in front."
Moggi: "He wasn't, and anyway the whole game, he made a complete mess and..."
Pairetto: "You know he's one of the top..."
Moggi: "He can go fuck himself, I'm telling you Gigi, he can go take it up the ass. Trust me. Now careful with the Stockholm game, eh?"
Pairetto: "Gosh, that'll be a hard game..."
Moggi: "It's ok, we'll win... But with a ref like that... you know what I mean?"
Moggi then asks for refs in the pre-season games:
Moggi: "Send me Consolo and Battaglia for the Messina game."
Pairetto: "I've already picked the refs for that one."
Moggi: "Who are they?"
Pairetto: "Consolo and Battaglia I think."
Moggi: "And I want Pieri for the Berlusconi Cup, ok?"
Pairetto: "We didn't do that one yet."
Moggi: "Let's do it later then."
Pairetto: "Yeah ok we'll do that one later."
This is just an example involving the Champions League preliminary round and even a fuckin' summer friendly! It is even possible to compare these kinda conversation to the ones involving Facchetti? If you want I have another interception in which Moggi dictactes to Bergamo the grid of referees for a serie A round. Bergamo also admitted that Moggi gave him a Swiss sim card to communicate without being intercepted. I would love to know the content of those conversations.
but surely such kinda calls are violations of the "loyalty" italian FA code, and i ask you why in 2006 inquirers corked their ears when inter managers were talking to ref's chiefs.
Who tells you that they corked their hears? If all the interceptions are of the same kind of those you posted it's not hard to understand why they didn't considered it relevant.
Moggi (and so Juve) were supposedly sentenced of conspiracy, along with ref's chiefs and FA managers, meaning that no other club were having the same unlawful conduct. After 4 years instead, we're seeing that many other clubs including one beyond suspicion, that made his trademark of loyalty and integrity, were behaving in the exact same way.
and we're seeing that the whole system was based on such borderline behaviors.
I doubt the likes of Lotito and Della Valle used to call Facchetti to ask for favours to their teams, that any Inter officials ever locked Paparesta into a dressing room after a wrong decision against their team and that they used to call Tv personalities to manipulate the fans by fixing the replays and lead them into thinking that all the refereeings involving Juve were fair. I would also like to remind you that a minister of the Italian Republic once called Moggi to beg him to help his favourite 3rd division Sardinian team, why doing that if Moggi wasn't the mastermind?
