yes any other marotta appointed coach would have missed out on CL
And I bet everyone said that about Conte too.

BTW, Conte was Agnelli appointed.

edit:

We wouldn't be here without Conte, but if it weren't for us, he would probably still be coaching the likes of Empolis.

How competitive? To reach the quarter finals? Maybe, just maybe Conte wanted to reach further than that with Juventus? No, we should aim at Marotta's goals, quarter finals with a favourable draw.
Yes, to reach quarters regularly, as this team possesses enough quality for that goal.
I'd understand his frustrations if after several years Juve wasn't able to go beyond, but when you fail at the very first obstacle, the money or the quality of the players available shouldn't be used as an excuse for your underachievement in Europe.

Anyway investing hundreds of million every summer is in no way a guarantee that you'll be more successful. Real Madrid despite of significant movements on the market failed to reach quarters for 8 years in a row iirc. Then you have lot of examples of many other clubs that with lesser budget managed to go very far in the competition. There are a lot of variables involved, but Conte is all about excuses. We were eliminated by an average Benfica side, the ref was to blame, Benfica players decided to dive all over the pitch, etc... It is never him that takes responsibility for some failures, but all the success is exclusively fruit of his labor.

When Nedved spoke he was representing the board not only himself.

If it wasn't Nedved, Dusan would've used a name.

I think those are actually the club goals. Not QF with a favourable draw, but QF and maybe more with a favourable draw. In statements from management personnel (and the coach) I never see more than that mentioned.

After all, if we put pressure on the coach to have a real go at the CL then we have to put money there to buy the quality required. Hence this will not happen with our financial limitations.

What a nonsense :rofl: Just because Conte was afraid to try something new (atleast he tried 2 times against Real with 433) it's doesn't mean that we were not able to play in new formation, stop idolizing him, he failed because of his stubbornness, because of his not willingness to try something new
Exactly. His stubbornness took us out of CL and EL and we lost ~25m because of it. That's a quality player right there.

If he can't even pass the group stages against two $#@!ing amateur clubs like Galatasaray and Copenhagen. Then the moron has nothing to say, we even lost 25-30M on that. Money we could have spend on good player(s)
:agree:

I remember you were singing another tune last season after we got eliminated from the CL and later on by Benfica.

And this is where it's att, Conte wanted more the club wasn't as ambitious.

One year of failure in Europe can be due to many different circumstances and I expected that some of our shortcomings would get ironed out, and that is with Conte next year. I wasn't pinning the entire blame on him.

After Benfica game, I was disappointed with him, mostly with the statements he made and I believe that I expressed that here.
