He's fed up dominating the league with a team he knows perfectly well and has bonded with. He has a reasonable budget and a good board of directors.
If he wants to leave all that for a crumbling Milan team with 0 budget, and a crazy owner and no project to speak of then maybe he just doesn't like having to deal with expectations
It's probably nonsense though. But if he does leave for an inferior club, add to the fact he's talking about 'unachievable targets' then it looks to me like he's not ambitious at all.

I understand what u mean but it's not that simple.
Look what happened to Inter and Milan. This is the result of simply spending more than you can afford.
If you look into Juve's finances, you'll see that regardless of the exact value of the debt, the difference between assets and debt is almost non existant. This is not a comfortable situation at all.
Agnelli recently said that Juve's "fire power" remains around 200M/year - this is for salaries and players fees and installments. As we current pay a lot of money for remaining installments to be paid, we don't have much room to increase this.
If we can it's by making more debt. Can Juve actually do that? The best way would be another loan from Exxor. Is Elkann willing to do that? I highly doubt. You look at this guy's face and you know he couldn't care less about Juventus.
Maybe this is not even an option for Agnelli. Maybe if Elkann refuse to pump money in, he won't be able to consider any other option, like banks loans, at huge interest rates. I really hope he can pull it out. But it his always hard to change the plans of a huge institution like Juventus because of one single man - Conte.
If Conte leaves, I will definitely not blame Agnelli for this.
Indeed.
I think we all want to see the team splash money like madmen... but fi it cannot be done...well, it cannot be.
We have done great mercatos as of late..getting interesting players without breaking the bank excessively. We need to continue this way until new influx of money in the form of sponsors and deals are available. Its the safest path to ensure we get some more money in a couple years.
Our pirority should be to always advance from group stages of the CL, and then go as far as we can every year, while maintaining good numbers in the league.

I love Conte as much as the next guy, but for 2 years in a row now him saying we can't hope to win CL feels like a HUGE slap in the face to both the players and fans. Why are we even playing the game then? And thinking about it, yes I'd love to spend outrageous amounts of cash, but we've all known for a couple of seasons now that we can't spend anymore. We're still fixing Secco's shitstorm. I'm sure Conte knows this and at this point im just hoping he's trying to force something behind the scenes of Juventus instead of actually wanting to leave because he doesnt have 100 trillion euros to spend. If we were to replace him I'd want Klopp or Montella. The thought of Mancini makes me want to vomit everywhere.
and to think, had Secco's regime invested all that money they spent wisely, we'd probably still be able to spend like that. I can't wait til our stadium is paid off.

Fuck it I'm standing by the guy FOR NOW; as of now he's taking a Stand in front of the board for the best intentions of bettering our club. All he's doing is demanding to take us to the next level. Only thing that bothers me is how he opened a can if worms in the media that can disrupt not only our staff but our players mentality and morale; and as if he blames the lack of reinforcements other than looking at his own approach to tactics and the mistakes he has made and learn to improve as well. Conte might be a little hubristic in some degree, eveything is a problem or potentially a problem but not him. Seems like the kind of guy that could never owe up to his own shit. Anyways hopefully his demands are met and if not we still have a good squad, just wouldn't know how many players would be rattled and mentality would be jostliled due to his statements and possible departure. :frown:
