  1. Antonio Conte

    That's difficult to say. Right now reports are suggesting the defendant (Conte) and the prosecutors are trying to negotiate another plea bargain before the trial - which Red has reported is tomorrow. If they cannot reach an agreement with the prosecutor(s) on a plea bargain, it will just go to...
  2. Antonio Conte

    I don't know FIGC's ruling. No one does as they have not made a ruling yet. A ruling is what Juventus and Conte's lawyers are trying to avoid. It is not my opinion, I'm just stating the facts as I know them to be right now. Again, I did an in-depth post about all this a page or two back and...
  3. Antonio Conte

    Again, people are confusing the plea bargain with the FIGC's ruling. Check-out my prior posts above. When the FIGC bans you from football (not a match or multiple matches, but from football) and footballing activities, you cannot have any function with the team or league for however long that...

    Yes the new plea bargain can still contain elements of the original, with exceptions being a longer term, and, say, pleading 'guilty' to the charges instead of 'not guilty'. But we'll have to see what the judge(s) were looking for. It's unsual that they rejected the plea bargain, so they must...

    :tup: Agreed. Mods, do something.
  6. Antonio Conte

    I see what you're saying. But being a lawyer, I can clarify that a plea bargain is a proposal by the defendant to the prosecutor or judge. In Conte's case, he's pleading 'not guilty' to the charges but in return for a shorter sentence than if he is found guilty and given a 1 yr ban, he is...
  7. Antonio Conte

    Wrong. That was his proposal as a plea bargain to the FIGC. If he is banned from football, he cannot be near the team until the ban is up. It would be unusual, although it cannot be ruled out, for FIGC to allow a dispensation to Conte and allow him to train the squad. What you mentioned...
  8. Antonio Conte

    Conte's plea bargain is not the only one that was rejected. They rejected most plea bargains of persons who pleaded 'not guilty'. Those who pleaded guilty and offered a plea bargain were granted their pleas. If Conte is given a ban - he cannot have anything to do with football in our league...

    Because a CF is what we desperately require right now, not an SS. And RvP represents a great opportunity in the market to get a top-class Champion CF - one of the top 3 in the world right now - at a bargain price (even at 25m euros) for a decent salary (net 7m a year) to knock in goals for the...

    As far as Janna goes - ease up, she hasn't posted anything outlandish or out of nowhere. Juve upping their offer to 20m is not such a crazy 'rumor'. It was reported a week ago by mult. sources that Juve were preparing to heighten their offer to somewhere around 18m.

    Only internally. For international transfer, it's July 1st.

    ...and the quality stadiums... and clubs who know the situations of the coach... etc. etc.
  14. Stevan Jovetic - Forward - Fiorentina

    I agree with this part of what you said. And this strategy would work, but our DS would have to make these signings straight away right when the transfer windows open -- however, that's not Marotta's way of working... he waits until the bottom half of the transfer window and the last weeks in...

    Italian giants Juve pull out of race to sign £20m Van Persie[Daily Mail] http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2179730/Robin-van-Persie-latest-Juventus-abandon-Arsenal-striker-pursuit.html Don't read into this too much fellas - we're not out of the RvP race just yet. We're just on...

    That's all I have to say.

    You've been Marotta-ed, my friend. (Had to bring back Salvatore's classic Marotta picture. It just says it all.)

    Even Marotta's work phone is a bargain buy. it's like from 1987.
