his empire is worth billions

I’m sure he’ll be ok in future endeavors
Just not in football. His time in football is done imo. He would have resigned already if this was the UK.
Being a rebel in the business world without the PR to back you up=recipe for disaster.

The Real Madrid juggernaut will survive. But we are truly fucked. All the effort with the rebranding and bringing Ronaldo to the club in order popularize our club, improve our image just got washed away within a couple of days. The only saving grace now would be if he steps down.

But let's separate the entities here. Are you saying that "we" i.e. Juventus are fvcked if Agnelli remains in charge of the club or is Agnelli done in the pro sports world (football mainly)?

You're overdramatizing, nothing is really lost

A bit of both.

As I've said, he's made one embarrassing decision after another in the past few years and is a big reason behind transforming us into a soulless, plastic team. And you're seeing the results on the pitch. Entitled players that couldn't give a rats ass about giving 100% on the pitch. There is zero passion.

And ultimately this is a huge PR failure for Juventus football club, not just Agnelli. Look at the lengths John Henry is going to, to please his supporters once it turned into a huge PR nightmare for them. The whole rebranding project falls flat after this. A turn that Agnelli probably dint expect but it is headed towards that direction.

Coming from you...

But true, I might be but yeah only time can settle things down. Something like this won't be forgotten very easily though.

Revive the prospect of a super league in the future, this time the founding members being the ones who stuck by the project until the end (Juve, Real, Barcelona). The rest of the league, including those backstabbing English clubs, can earn their place through merit like they always wanted. In that way, EPL and UEFA lose, which is what we all want :baus:

Sadly, the involvement of English clubs is the key for it being successful. And it requires them to have the full benefits of being founders.

Its not, if you had the backing of other continental powerhouses. But when the Germans backed out then the english became too important

In the future where Tottenham will have a bigger income than Real, and West Ham bigger than Juve.

Also seems like the american owned clubs were more for it than the arab or russians. And theyre conveniantly the biggest 3 clubs in england. So if they were to start again, try getting them back in

Its not only his PR skills, you need media on your side, Exor need to buy a couple of the media outlets ASAP.
