Oh, Snap!

Yesterday’s sob story about life at Cagliari took an pretty awesome turn today, when team president Massimo Cellino responded with a smackdown so catty even Maurizio Zamparini has to be looking at him in awe.
As you surely recall from yesterday’s drama, Davide Marchini (who is so on the outs at Cagliari that he’s apparently not even training, for some reason) basically accused Pasquale Foggia of having him attacked, and had his lawyer tall the papers all about his physical and emotional pain, and how the club has to do something. Well, this morning, the club responded, and Marchini needs to start packing his bags. Not only had Cellino not heard anything about the incident until it appeared in the papers, but he’s entirely unsympathetic, and took the opportunity to rip his midfielder, saying “As for Marchini, It doesn’t surprise me that three clubs have terminated his contract and he has changed agent six times.” Oh, DAMN.
Really, it’s not as if, barring a pattern of bad behavior, Cagliari were ever going to side with Marchini over the best player in the team, but the fact that Cellino not only ripped him but threw in a little character assassination as well — “I’m told that the last time he missed training he was outside a club at 5am.” — means that he’s leaving as soon as the transfer window opens. If anyone wants him, that’s is. Who’s going to want to add an unfit whiner to their team in the middle of the season?
