Didn't we just start our pre-season? What about the signings we been working on?

All works are undone. I hope our board doesn't panic like we do and get our hands on whoever we could.

But to be honest, there isn't many options out there.

Iturbe to Roma for ~30m, almost done. Evra on hold. Allegri is very close to Juve bench.
"All works are undone" is an understatement for this disaster

The board needs to find a solid coach on a 1 year contract. Someone who can maintain status quo with the team because let's face it, even with a monkey behind the bench, this squad is the favourite still to win Serie A.

It's possible the best choice is Carrera for 1 year. Most likely we will finish top 3, possibly win again. As far as CL, well we failed with Conte, so Carrera can achieve the same thing just by participating in the competition.

Next year more coaches will be available and we'll have more funds available as well. There's no question that if this is the course we take that Conte has cost us a year in our development cycle but we can stop the bleeding with smart choices and even if we lose progress moving forward, at least we won't take steps back.

The problem is that the year we lose was the "do" year for many of the older players, Buffon, Pirlo, Barzagli and Licht ensure this next season, but after that all of them wil be way over the top..

But at the same time it looks like our mercato is closed for now so we should have some funds available. Combine that with next year's adidas sponsorship, "continassa", etc.

We can rebuild the team then potentially.

But we can do more harm than good if we rush into a stupid coach for a 4 year contract and he wants to re-arrange the team from top to bottom. We can really sink our ship then.

Like if we go, "Oh shit, Capello come save us." Then he comes and throws the team into a flat 4-4-2, we finish 4th in Serie A, he has 3 years left in his contract, starts demanding his own players in the mercato, etc.

Oh i agree to a degree, but pointing out that he "just"set us back one year is very underestimating.

anyone blaming conte is stupid. he is juventino through and through and you can see how much it pains him but when there are differences that big sometimes you can't go on anymore.

buffon said lack of motivation. lack of motivation from idiots agnelli and marotta. watch them sign a yes man now and cash in on our best players. and some idiots will still defend them. it's all so obvious when they replace with him retard like allegri.

It takes two to Tango. They're all at fault for not sorting out their differences with some suitable compromises.

I wonder how taking over Monaco will ease that pain for him.

Contes ambitions and any preexisting arrangements taken into consideration, this left the club in a very tight spot. Next season is basically ruined and while we are not quite set back to post calciopoli state of affairs, it set back the club tremendously.

A true Juventus legend would have swallowed it, done his for the club for the first six months, offering some timetoworkon a replacement and then left. There is this idea that Juventus is bigger than the players playing for it and the people managing it and i fulle subscribe to it, i I hoped Conte would too. He had the chance to bail earlier in the season and he should have seized it were he not prepared for hiccups. A management as finsncislly responsible as the current one would not have agreed on any circumstances earlier this summer when they were persuading him, were they not 100 percent sure they could deliver. That might be a failure on their part to do the job, but it certainly does not imply that they tried tricking him into staying, as some members sadly seem to be implying
Well put
