Doc, in what case you'll be wrong?
You shared your thoughts with us about way too many things. Transfers, team policy, squad selection, the coach, situation in calcio in general etc.
So i wonder how can Secco prove you wrong? What does he need to do to prove you wrong?
I know that you love the team very much and you actually want to be proven wrong, but i wonder how exactly can it be done. Winning serie A and CL? Winning the 2nd place? Making it to the 1/4, 1/2, final of CL? Buying this or that player? Giving more freedom to Ranieri? Replacing Ranieri with another coach? Buying prospective players that will be part of a great Juve after 2,3,4 years?

However, a single man can harm is, in a such a decisive way, that could be eventually proved enough to compromise our entire teams efforts and set a maximum limit to our chances/hopes.
The transfer director and the coach, are empowered enough and their decision affects the performance of our entire team. They set the standards and they bound our team's limits.
The transfer director with the "tools/players" he is providing for our team, by the allocation of our available funds and the coach who is charged with our overall management of the team and esp our tactical decisions.
In same cases the coaches have the authority to control directly or indirectly, ur strategical plans/decisions.
There lies a great responsibility!! In a such a prestigious club like Juve, this person should face extreme competition and should consider many more factors than any other person assigned in a similar role into a smaller team.
This task is extremely difficult, even for the proven and exp managers, let alone inexperienced and incompetent caricatures like Secco...
Furthermore, juve has reached a critical point in her history, we have faced extinction.
At the Moggi era, the only thing that kept us competitive was the high standards and the exceptional management! This efficient management allowed us to compete with the best, most prestigious/powerful/experienced and successful clubs in the world, despite the lack of investment.
Players and managers have come and gone, but our main characteristic, our core, our power has always been this efficiency!!
The crisis forced us to find some quick fixes, even for that critical positions!
The Agnelli have chosen to keep the club and they announced that they are determined fix this, because they feel the obligation to do this.
truth or not, this is supposed to be our goal.
At that moment, we were heavily injured, both a great proportion of our players and most of our managers were forced to leave us!
In this delicate moment, of rebuilding our team, with the very limited resources the Agnelii family, has apparently put in our disposal.
We ought to be clinical, to our decisions. Anything less than perfect does not apply, we compete with the best and to catch up with them, we have to be even better than their nearly perfect management, otherwise the gap between us will keep increasing and we will never reach back were we belong!
We need managers with a vision, with a solid plan and the guts to apply it!
I dont care about titles, i am very pleased with our performances so far,
this is not what worries me the most, but the overall quality of our team,
our future plans, the direction our team is heading and the speed and the efficiency we use to reach there!
No matter the path we choose to reach our goals, above all, i need to see efficiency and so far this is exactly what we missed!!!
We wasted valuable time and resources and instead of making those leaps forward, we made one step backward and a swift, careless step forward to compensate, without thinking about the big picture, but only to provide some quick fixes and a false sense of security!
About Secco, with players like Almiron, Tiago, Poulsen, Molinaro, Iaquinta, Boumsong, Mellberg, Salih etc as starters we have no future in the highest competitions!!!
With the wasted amount to get those losers, we could have bought 2-3 more players like Amauri and Sissoko.
We collected all this junk without thinking ahead, in the near future, where our champions will start retiring one by one. Without our champions to make the difference, this junk will only force us to invest even more money, we dont have.
Without this investment, our team will be crippled when they will retire and further more boosting with such quality will not help.
Last year we had many excuses (lame or not) and the majority of our managers calls were all proved mistaken, it is only be pure luck our opponents sucked so much to allow our remaining champions to compensate for the lack of quality within our team and allow us to finish in a very good position, a position which only flatters our teams quality...
But this year, our managers didnt hesitate at all, the repeated the same mistakes, proving my worst fears about their intentions, their vision, their planification, their efficiency. what will happen in the end is another issue,
their choices are already made, our team is limited, material/quality wise,
when we should be making those quality leaps forward.
At the mean time, our opponents have upgraded their teams and they will keep going forward, using our superior resources, political power and experience,
if necessary.
If their team does not perform according to the high standards of their quality, they have the option to further boost it with other means.
But we dont have this choice, we only have one chance and we have to make it count!!! We cannot always base on luck and hoping that the performances of our players will exceed the performances of their superior!
We must be extra efficient and we must slowly start to cropping the gap between us. This is our transfer's managers responsibility, no more and no less!
I dont demand results from Secco, i only demand a wise allocation of our funds!!
We will never get back the money we wasted on Andrade, Tiago and Almiron, this is a whole year wasted there, a whole transfer budget, he should do miracles to recover them. And what did he do?? He brought two limited/unreliable squad players and wasted the majority of our transfer budget to a luxury sub or a new starter who will force one of our champion into a sub...
So we wasted two summer transfer budget and we made no real additions to our team. where is the efficiency?? Where is the vision???
With the available resources, our team could have bought 3-4 reliable starters by now. And with an extra efficient manager, 4-5 and the same amount of squad players, only by efficiently trading the hundred contracts we still detain and the 4-5 players Secco released for free...
To sum up what i want to see from Secco:
-Efficiency
-Vision
-Quality and not quantity improvement of our team
-Balance
-A deal that would bring us some income
-Less pawing by Fiorentina
-More respect to the contracts we own
-Respect to our limited resources
-Take advantage of the prestige our colors confer
-Being more receptive to the advices of the exp managers within our team
-Learn form his mistakes
