Letter by the President to the supporters

Dear supporters,

This first part of the season has often been accompanied by controversy, opinions and in some cases proper attacks on Juventus and its history. In a few hours time the curtain will rise on a match which has always played an important part in the history of football. It is a history for us Juventini made of passion and very often victories which were always achieved with merit on the field.

The chit chat of recent months contributed to the raising of voices, often mixing the roles. It is time to think of the present.

It is a time in which the shareholders and the management are on the one side busy safeguarding and defending the club’s colours everywhere, with the right instruments and in the most correct and transparent way, and on the other hand are concentrating everyday in order to put the players in a condition to offer a performance of a level which suits Juventus.

It is a time in which the supporters, with a sense of responsibility higher than that of certain managers, are supporting their team even in difficult moments, without falling to useless exaggerations and violence that would stain the joint effort of all those who have Juventus at heart: footballers, coaches, directors, employees and millions of supporters.

It is a time which has lasted 113 years and which will continue even after these 90 minutes during which we will have to be loyal supporters in order to get back to our work: Juventus will continue to do so in all the competent places so as to assure that the reasons of everyone are heard and evaluated with dignity.

Forza Juve
Andrea Agnelli

But I kind of have to disagree a little with the tone of his letter, though.

If this was a sort of veiled response to Ernesto Paolillo, he should have said that Inter would have to give back at least as many titles as Juve would have -- except that Inter couldn't win a title to save their lives even while cheating.

Agnelli: 'Juve were an example'



Andrea Agnelli wants Juventus to become a model club again just like they were in the past, but concedes that it also means winning something.

The Bianconeri have been widely praised for getting their house in order after Calciopoli and appear to be the only Italian club as yet compliant with the UEFA financial fair-play regulations.

Speaking about his objectives for the Turin giants, Agnelli said: “The sporting and managerial renovation, the diversification of revenues and the return to the Champions League will be the pillars in a return to success.

“We have the means to get through the first round of the Europa League and to try and win the Coppa Italia, a competition which has been missing from our trophy cabinet for a long time.

“Juventus are fully wedded to the general principle of financial fair-play and in the meantime are leading the change also on the front of professional footballers' contracts in Serie A, in which the variable fees will be ever more linked to results,” he concluded.
