Alessio Secco (24 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

We became such a pathetic club, everyone is having a laugh on us, this is what is all about.. We had a fucking sissy boy that gives the paper to the 4th referee to make a substitution, now he is our transfer manager, what were you expecting people to comment about us?? Do you remember that crazy half bold guy at Lippi's time? he was a physio or something he runs like a crazy chicken everytime our players were down, that guy must be the president, I won't be surprised if he becomes one.

It's just funny people defended Secco even while knowing he used to be the team manager, the role Pessotto now fills. I'd take Il Professore over this useless idiot just because he knows about football. What the hell has Secco even accomplished?

Again, it's just about having foresight. All sorts of people supported Secco and told us to give him time, we didn't and said he isn't qualified and will make idiotic decisions. Well I guess we both have been disapointed, in my case enraged. I just cannot fathom why this person was given this role in the first place... WHY??? He has no credentials WHATSOEVER. Yet people defended that nonsense! Unbelievable.

When I criticized Secco for the way he treated players such as Del Piero and Nedved, they defended that prick saying he knows what he's doing and Del Piero better agree on his conditions and bla bla.

looks like the wheel is turning like usually.

Yeah, that was another STUPID debacle on this forum and at our club. Of course some people would agree with a dunce such as Secco... some don't have respect for Juventus legends.

Funny thing is, Del Piero has been our best player this season, deserving every penny of his contract that Secco didn't want to give him at first.

I should go back and make a list of all the people who supported Alessio "Team Manager" Secco at one point in time. That should be funny.

 

[Azzurri7]

Indeed. But just look how Classy Del Piero is, he accepted a wage-cut without complaining and he's giving more than any 23years old player can give.

He's been our best player and has saved our asses several times this season. Without this man we would probably be languishing around 6th in Serie A. That's how bad the situation is right now.

Is there anybody can tell me who can sack this jerk-off ? I'm just sick of him, he sucks.

All I'm wondering is why no one in high positions complains about him ?

I think all our champions are great this season except Nedved who had a slow start. But even he is now improving. These players are holding our club on the pitch together and really deserve their money. At one point last season I was afraid that we will lose some of them and that wouldn't be acceptable. Secco was acting like a jackass and behaving really slow, whether in the transfer market or contract extensions but the truth is had it not been some advises from the poeple attached to the club, who knows where would some of our champions be playing or how "strong" we would be? Secco has done a terrible job since the appointment. I understand people were giving him support for some time, as we knew he was working with Moggi before and we had some hopes for him, but now he is running/ran out of time. He needs to go. I can't feel safe with him.

That is not true, as he was publicly criticised by a member of our board (Gian-Paolo Montali, our administrative director) last week or 2 weeks ago. Like I said, he is running out of time. Montali said he will try to solve the problem but I am not confident with this dunce (Secco).

Btw are you David from Hanoi, Vietnam? (Goal.com)

hopefully, l'avvocato will go and haunt his grankids and telll them to kick secco the fuck out of juve! all due respect

 

[Salvo]

hopefully after this season the juve board will see that this incompetent fool and ranieri are not the men (or women) to bring this football team forward we need strong experienced people and true juventini the champions of this beautiful club to all come together to bring this team up to the world class status it rightfully deserves.

probably next season, nothing will change
except that we will spend MAYOR money on players we dont actually need

Blog: Transfers on trial

Forget Diego, ignore Amauri and dismiss Andrea Barzagli. Antonio Labbate reveals who Juventus’ next signing must be
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, standing before you today is Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco. His crime? Alleged inadequacies on the transfer market, dating back from his appointment in June 2006 to the present day.

Secco has been on trial ever since he was promoted from his team manager role. Thrown into the deep end after the club was almost torn apart by the Calciopoli punishments, doubts have existed over his ability from day one.

Alessio, an example of pure Juventinità, wasn’t the club’s first choice. They actually offered his position to Franco Baldini given the transfer prowess he had demonstrated at Roma. But Baldini, who now finds himself part of Fabio Capello’s England set-up, couldn’t bring himself to join an outfit that he had openly fought against during the rule of the Triade.

Sampdoria official Beppe Marotta and Giovanni Sartori of Chievo were also mentioned as possible Luciano Moggi successors. Yet La Vecchia Signora went for the young blood of Secco, whose charisma and professionalism could be used to help cleanse the club’s tarnished image.

Secco has found the transition tough. Even though he was initially aided by Roberto Bettega, the clean third of the Triade, the general consensus is that he has flopped on the transfer market. While his inexperience and the club’s uncertain status in the summer of 2006 makes his initial market moves almost impossible to judge, his work since then has been questionable.

Exhibit A is Sergio Almiron. Bought for £6.5m from Empoli, he’s now on loan at Monaco. Tiago Mendes is Exhibit B, a £9m swoop whose proposed move to Tottenham last month apparently fell through because his wife didn’t fancy a London return. Exhibit C is Momo Sissoko. A Liverpool reserve who nobody seemingly rates, but a player who Secco was willing to spend £8.2m on.

Secco, of course, could argue that there are extenuating circumstances for his actions. Although he’s officially in charge of transfer policy, we doubt he’s acting alone. Nevertheless, that’s not a viable alibi.

Juventus need to be a force on the transfer market if they are to again be a force on the field of play. Secco’s inability to immediately bring in Olof Mellberg in January was a significant failure and the necessity to sign Guglielmo Stendardo on loan to “plug a hole” – as Secco noted – was not an operation worthy of the club.

Mercato whispers in Italy have seen Juventus linked with the likes of Amauri, Diego, Andrea Barzagli, Rafael Van Der Vaart and Cristian Zapata. They’re all interesting names and quality players, but the club must first come up with a verdict on whether Secco has the ability to make those moves happen. If they have any doubts then Juve’s next buy needs to be a sporting director rather than a multi-million pound player.

Secco has time until the end of June 2008 to secure signings of some quality players. If he starts fooling around again, he needs to get a boot.
