Actually he did far less. According to Palazzi’s statement other teams violated article 6 and he never did. That is the difference between a misdemeanor and 1st degree murder. Unsportsmanlike conduct and cheating are weighed differently for a reason. One influences the outcomes of matches and...

Long story short (sort of): Palazzi was instructed to pour over all the evidence that emerged a year ago in the Naples trial and needed to come to a conclusion as to whether the information was a) irrelevant b) too late because the statute of limitations had expired c) reopen the case...

Because it won’t. Pure and simple. People keep waiting for the day that the team’s management wakes up and starts fighting. The same guys that ran the show at EXOR in 2006 are still running the show now. Agnelli was allowed to make a minor nuisance of himself by going to the FIGC which only...

The scudetto question won't go beyond sports justice.

1) The 200 million bribe comment was taken out of context and poorly reiterated. We were sponsored by telecom and gazetta for more than 200 million months after the 2006 verdict 2) Why are people surprised? We all knew this was the outcome well before it was announced. 3) They admitted that...

Lucky for the FIGC they know we don't have anyone with balls.

You nailed it. So far they asked for the revoking of the title that Inter received...that is all they have done in 5 years. Why instead wouldn’t he have petitioned to reopen the whole case? Appeal to higher courts? The team's managers don't care.

The team itself not wanting to go there. Stepping on the toes of the federation that has common business interests through companies that not only sponsor the league and Inter but also Juve now (i.e. Telecom, Gazzetta). You guys only think in terms of team pride. These think in euros.

Because it’s the FIGC. Any judge can refute evidence. They should have some grounds to do it and in this case the grounds are that it would force them into the precarious position of shooting themselves in the foot.

Does it matter? Juventus' won't be doing shit. All they are interested in is avoiding paying damages to the clubs looking for a cash grab like Brescia. First of all a sports tribunal is not a regular court so all the lawful arguments we can muster up won’t necessarily apply the same way...

The statute of limitations exits everywhere. The timeframes may differ but they still exist. Agricola and Juve won the drug case flat out. It was the prosecution’s appeal that wound up falling out of statute.

Long story short, Abete has stated that the 18th of July will be the definitive date regarding Calciopoli and the Sports Justice system. Thursday Palazzi will conclude his “investigation” and can choose one of 3 paths. 1. He can request the archiving of the documents because there is no proof...

Yeah we were. The Roman collapse was an inside job too. It’s in our nature to destroy ourselves. Oh well, we’re good looking and we eat well. It’s not all bad.

1. There have always been struggles and rivalries amongst the Agnelli offspring. The details and percentages aren’t my business but there is a definite rift between Andrea and the Elkanns. To my knowledge Andrea is not looking to take over anything automotive. 2- I haven’t read any leaks...

Montezemolo is more important to EXOR than Joseph Goebbels was to the Third Reich. He doesn’t hang around Ferrari...he runs it. He’s more visible through Ferrari than any one of the Agnelli offspring. In any case I just don’t see protests amounting to anything.

I admire the optimism. I just don’t think you guys fully appreciate just how small these elitist kings of industry like Elkanns and Montezemolo think we are. Our opinions matter less to them then the pair of socks they wear by a lot. They know that ticket sales and sponsorship money keeps...

It is true and they could overrule the FIGC. I don't completely trust CONI for the record. Keep expectations low when referring to sporting justice bodies in Italy.

He wasn't part of it. Moggi and Giraudo were like uncles to him. He is likely well aware of everything but he is also 100% powerless. The team is financially dependent on EXOR now. Case closed. I know it sucks but that's it.

Nope. Nice to see others taking up the fight too.

Look man I agree with you in theory but you don't want to face something. Juventus already got what it wanted. Month's after the scandal Juve signed highly lucrative sponsorship deals with former enemy entities Gazzetta and Telecom (not to mention their sponsorship[s of Ferrari) which are way...
