Ok fist and foremost. The Criscito situation. I do agree with you that secco did fuck up on doing a co ownership deal with Genoa.
Fine that means we can work from here
but if you realize the performance he gave for us, were really weak not even close to juventus material. So seeing this he probably though he wasn't going to do shit for genoa next season so he decided to get some money off of that. It truly is understandable on a business point of view at the time.
IMO, Criscito did not failed us, we failed him!!
CR had abysmal relations with our youngsters and he was too afraid to use them.
(Giovinco bashing him openly, just proved that)
He was over-protective, with his favorite son (Molinaro, Marchionni too)
But had no remorse on crucifying the other youngsters.
CR blamed Criscito, when Totti elbowed him on the face, drop him down and scored!! In a day when our whole defense collapsed and no one else, did any better! He accused and blamed him for his own mistakes!!
IMO the youngsters were badly misused and mistrusted.
They should be given more chances gradually and on the easiest games, we could afford to do so. Criscito failed as much as DC, Giovinco and Marchisio (who would have "failed" too, if it wasnt for those massive injuries!! )
There was a reason why our youngsters, virtually "sucked", and that was CR!!
I thought that we should know that by now, we have seen enough to draw this safe conclusion!
But if you do look at it he really didn't fuck up at all, if he were to sold all his rights to them, now that would have been a fuck up. You need to think about this for a minute. we have more money than them meaning Genoa of course. If criscito is fantastic next season his value will go up. and if we truly want him we will get him. and if genoa wants him they need to pay a hefty sum for his other half. which they probably wont. So really what Secco did was a fantastic move. because he gave Criscito one more season to prove himself, if he repeats his fantastic season Secco will realize this, and will get him. don't say he wont cause he will. But if Criscito declines his performances and it was really a one season thing. he could continue in genoa. or will get 5 million for his other half, to get a new LB next summer. That is of course in DC doesn't have a breakout year. which i truly believe he will.
We might have more money than Genoa, but we are so stupid, that we cant use that advantage!! Unlike us, Genoa are not stupid, they had no leverage and yet they managed to pursuade Secco, on giving away Criscito on the ideal terms for them!
We cant set our priorities right and we never seem to have any funds left, to invest on our defense. Our club is runned by clueless enthusiasts, who cant calculate our needs, form a solid to get them and then respect it.
We are easily manipulated from momentary gains and occasions.
We might have more money, Genoa knows that they cant compete with us and they would never raise enough to pay for Criscito's full price.
But the only chance they had, is pay for him in smaller rates and hope that in the second bid war, our attraction and priorities will be attracted/distracted elsewhere, like always!
For ex if we are buying Cassano or Rossi next year, we wont have the time and resources to bid a huge for Criscito!
In normal situation, they couldnt outbid us, or afford him, but they have created the ideal situation to do so!
Actually we did! By choice!! For no good reason or gain...
If there was just one particular way to lose Criscito from them,
thats just that!!
That was the hardest thing to do, now they have they upper-hand!
Judging by what happened so far,
objectively, not from the perspective of a Juve fan, you can easily see where the situation goes from here...
We have some wishful thinking, but they have the control of the situation in their hands!!! And the worst part of it, s that we gave it to them!!! Twice
Secondly, I truly believe that Ferrara is no puppet. he has been in this club for ove a decade so he knows everything you need to know about this club. A person with such prestige will not be punk by this board. And plus Ferrara is a smart man. Like i said he has so much prestige that he wont let himself be a puppet. believe this. so please stop it with your conspiracies.
Ferrara was brought to be a puppet, we sacked DD, because he wanted more control,
then hired CR just because he accepted to be a smiling puppet.
And now, we wanted a young, unproven coach, without any influence our prestige power, just because he could be manipulated easier!!
This is as clear, as it can get!!
I agree that he is a smart man and being one of us, he can be trusted more than other coaches, who might try to seek out their own personal interests.
Our board might ask some advice from Ferrara. But he is def not making the final calls!
This board would never allow that!!
Our history proved that and their words after sacking DD and CR also did proved that!
They have the money and the authority to pursue the priorities our highest board has set to them! The ideas of the coach are not irrelevant and should be pursued if possible, but they would not interfeer with our highest priorities as a club!
Ferrara, as a coach has no prestige, he has signed a contract with their terms and he has to obey that, even if that means that he has to take their responsibilities,
if anything goes wrong and he will be turned into the ultimate scapegoat, just like it happened with DD and CR. In order to ensure that our boards functions are safe!
not saying he wont. but if he doesnt have the 100% heart to join juve. i really wouldn't want him here. is not the juve way.
When Criscito was first brought here, he was still a boy needed some spiritual guidance, support and faith/love! He was ambitioned, he wanted to do well at the highest levels right away and he should be taught patience!
His ambitions were shattered when he realized that Andrade, Chiellini and Legro were all in front of him in the pecking order for that year and the years to come!!
IMO, it is normal to ask for more playing time, if his coach used him once/month.
I also believe the same goes for DC and Giovinco!
Blaming everything on them is easy!
But just think about that, think of you being in their shoes;
-You are given a spot in mighty Juve, but it is highly unlikely that you ever get the chance to prove yourself, against top class competition!
You see the favourism and BIAS your coach shows on Molinaro and the chances such an incompetent player has instead of you!
-Then you have Genoa who seem to respect your talent/value and would anything to have you in the ranks as a prized starter!
The town and people there accepted/valued you better and you have all the necessary support you need at this critical age!
-You are thrown away like a garbage from Juve and it is unlikely to return there as long as this coach is there! That determines you to do your best, but still have a chance that one day you will be given a chance at the highest level again!
-You are having a brilliant season in a new position, a position that Juve seems to struggle really hard atm, teams like Milan show some interest for your value/potential and Genoa are desperate to keep you and do anything for that, as they believe in you!
-Juve decides to rather invest on Grosso than bringing you back and then conceded to Genoa the option to permanently buy you and make it as convinient for them, as possible.
-Then Secco comes out and claims that Juve doesnt need a LB like you, because they rate Molinaro and DC higher than yourself!
Why on earth would he be so desperate to come back, when we constantly show him that we dont respect/rate him??
Would you betray the one who love and believe in you, for the ones who threw away, would you?

. Somehow whatever crap that comes outta secco and co's mouth is just so predictable that it gets really boring and somewhat annoying.
