I don't like marotta and believed we outgrew him, but it all started with replacing allegri with sarri, then even worse bringing in Pirlo. We are back to marotta level but we are not winning CL with marotta.
we're not even winning the league with tici and pirlo

cl is a huge gamble, especially for a team barely in the top10 financially. we should aim for regaining league dominance above all.
allegri was my favorite juve coach ever, i liked him more than lippi or trap, even though those won the cl for juve. his axe was a choice between players and coach, and it looked like a reasonable one at that point. clubs usually can't afford to replace half of the squad between seasons, especially not if key players like bonucci, dybala and pjanic are involved. it looked like going for the 10th in a row is more likely with those players than with max. in hindsight, it was obviously a bad decision.
anyway, luis campos is my man. just as important as a proper new coach. at this point, besides de ligt, cuadrado and chiesa, there's not a single player i consider untouchable. it might take a season or two, but this squad needs an overhaul.

... Sadly it came at the expense of sacrificing/penny pinching on other areas of the squad and just poor overall recruiting/planning in general...
no buddy, sorry, this is wrong. just check how much we are spending on the rest of the squad besides ronaldo, it's a way, way overpaid bunch regardless of cr. how the fuck can bonucci and tek earn 6.5m, ramsey and rabiot get 7m, de ligt is one of the most expensive defenders ever, we paid 60m for chiesa, fucking emre can got a 16m signing bonus, arthur costs over 20m per season, i could go on. we didn't stop spending after cr's arrival, we just picked the wrong players. (de ligt is actually a very good player, he's an exception, still, the point stands.)
