I'm very very pissed off at this whole situation. All the stuff that I'm reading (including unbiased writers/bloggers/tweeps) makes me wonder why there is no governing body above the sporting courts/tribunal that is stepping in. Is the entire country of Italy just so corrupt that injustice can prevail and lightning can strike twice?

I understand that Calciomesse is not like Calciopoli but one cannot help but think that there are enough people driven by some motivator (power, money, jealousy) that will collaborate to do whatever it takes to knock Juve?

It's absolutely disgusting. And I don't want to hear "oh that's just Italy". In the U.S. (where ALL kinds of crazy sh*t happens) this would not happen. Even in the India where being corrupt is a pre-requisite for politics, this would be contested by higher ranking governing bodies and opposing parties.

I'm glad that our club is standing it's ground for Conte and with Conte. Agnelli's comments last week show me that the club will fight off the field because these mofos in Italy are scared of what Juve can actually do on the field.

As much as I love everything about Italy, it's times like this that Italy makes me sick.

Report: Conte to resign?

There are shock reports that Antonio Conte could be ready to hand in his resignation if the Juventus Coach is banned for 10 months in the betting trial.

He decided to fight the charges of failing to alert authorities to a potential fix while he was at Siena in 2010-11, but risks up to a 15-month ban.

It is rumoured that the Disciplinary Commission is leaning towards a 10-month suspension, which would keep him out until June 9, 2013.

Although the ban would only apply to sitting on the bench or in the locker room on match day and so he could continue to train the squad on a day-to-day basis, this would be a heavy blow.

There are conflicting reports coming out of Beijing, where the Bianconeri are preparing for Saturday’s Italian Super Cup against Napoli.

According to La Repubblica, Conte is ready to follow assistant Cristian Stellini in offering his resignation.

However, Sky Sport Italia claim the tactician is sticking to his guns and has the full support of the club even if he is suspended.

Massimo Carrera took over on the bench in the weekend’s friendly against Malaga and is expected to be Conte’s eyes and voice on the touchline during the ban.

There had also been reports last night that Conte was going to fire the Juventus lawyers as part of his legal team in this case, but the club released a statement denying that.
Garbage "reporting"

This is what the Italian media has turned into over the past decade, trash tabloid-esque reporters. Even in the age of up-to-the-minute info with twitter, blogs, etc.. this is how they utilize and execute.

F*cking garbage Italian media and their garbage they consider actual news.

Micolucci mentioned before two games of Bari that were rigged. Conte's name was mentioned. The media got on it fast and "accused" Conte for those 2 games. Today at the new Bari trial he said he only mentioned Conte's name purely as a chronological reference. Nothing about him being aware of that fix or involved in it.



btw, those @Mark things don't work anymore or once every 10 mentions.

It's more like they need a figurehead for this scandal, because it hasn't turned into the all-encompassing shitstorm it was built up to be.

Lets hope Conte doesnt lose his grid and gets fired up even if banned. It would be a catastrophe to lose him, but it would be equally bad in having an uninspired and banned Conte in the stadium chairs.

Conte won't resign, calm the fuck down.
Who? Me? lol I'm just responding to the guys above me.:D

I really see Conte staying and leading this team from behind the scenes. That would be the ULTIMATE FUCK YOU to the FIGC, taking our coach away but still winning the league.

I think the boys would show their support on the pitch.

No one can forget how animated Conte was on the sidelines always cheering and hugging the boys...I see them returning the favor on the pitch this season for the faith & leadership Conte gave to them last year.

oh come on, we're quick to pounce on transfer rumours even if they're bullshit, so why not discuss over contes resignation rumour discussion too?

On the note of his resignation, whatever decision he did take, im by his side. Forza Conte.
