    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    I don't even like Grosso but I'd still get him for 4M Euros. It's not the worst price ever.

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    I'm not saying it was something incredibly easy to do, and I certainly don't agree with you saying we were on our way to insolvency/Serie D/whatever. Fiat was never in that sort of trouble. But perhaps you are right, even though it's impossible to prove thoroughly. The only thing I have a...

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    Enron is a much more complicated issue that involved several charges among liquidity and capital concerns. They became defunct shortly after. Why would Blanc and Gigli, especially the former, join a sinking ship? The guy is not necessarily an idiot when it comes to business. I mean, it's...

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    Well, then I was wrong about Baldini the Romanista. It happens sometimes. I just don't buy nobody would want to go to Juve when people actually did. It's neither an argument that can be proven or should be used because it makes no sense.

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    If you could go back in time and opt not to hire one of Secco or Ranieri, which one would it be? Hypothetical question.

    I didn't have internet ten years ago. :D

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    Well, it might have been the case. But even if it was, Secco wouldn't necessarily pull some of the same alleged antics that Moggi allegedly once did. The only reason why I brought it up was because most people who defend Secco hate Moggi, so I just wanted to see what the reaction would be...

    How much bashing of Secco have I done this summer?

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    Moggi had minor and major roles at other clubs before taking his major role with Juventus. This was a long time after he started working with Allodi. It's not even close to being a proper comparison.

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    Not sure I understand what you're saying, but if you're trying to say that people dislike Secco JUST because he is not Moggi, that's not true for some people. This was probably the first time I mentioned Moggi in over a year. If you notice, I never compare him to Secco or even bring him up...

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    I'm not saying this is the case, but wouldn't it be interesting if Secco was always going to be Moggi's replacement and learned some tricks from the Station Master himself? Everyone would turn on Secco and bash the board.

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    Those were the words of Deschamps himself. He said the board didn't like the route he was taking. Bettega had to step in to solve Trezeguet's contract issue because David thought the offer the board put on the table was unacceptable. Sure, there is always the chance these guys were lying...

    Fabio Grosso DONE DEAL

    The problem is this: you nor I have any proof that nobody else would have wanted to join Juventus in Secco's position after the scandal hit. The only proof we have is that Blanc and Gigli joined Juventus in directing roles once Calciopoli surfaced, facts that do not provide much support to...
