You're right, guys, but to be fair, many people here, on Tuz, didn't see Pirlo's appointment as an obvious disaster as well when it happened last summer. There were a lot of hopes, based on his brilliant football intellect when he used to be a player, him being coached by the greatest managers such as Lippi, Allegri, Ancelotti, etc.
So, even though it was very risky to put him at helm last summer, it still could work. Chances were slim, but the management didn't have money to come up with a better solution, so all in all it looked like something worth trying at the time.
On the other hand, when after many poor games it became apparent that it was a horrible idea, not making any changes became dumb af. So, my point is, to start this experiment last summer and to continue it now are two different things.
