You would think that there'd be a clause in his contract where failing to qualify for the WC would disentitle him for severance.

 

[Knowah]

An embarrassment of historical proportions. The entire Italian leadership group should be gutted for this result.

I just wanted to tell you that you are all free to support Belgium in the coming World Cup. I don't hold grudges. You can jump on our bandwagon.

Will be supporting Nigeria for sure.

the fact both Tavecchio and Ventura are still in their positions after this mega epic disaster shows you how big the problem really is in Italy and the FIGC. This is really scary the fact they have not both been removed with a big boot up their behinds.

Sky Italia says Ventura will be sacked.


But there was also video on twitter with Ventura on airport saying that he will resign.

when? should have been done by now. If Tavecchio is the idiot sacking him it won't happen, at least not until June so he can collect his remaining $800k

yup and the same goes for all political organizations I believe. Nepotism and old farts holding hands to protect their power. Nothing will change. These problems have been evident for a loooooong time. WC 2006 saved these old farts but the problems were already ongoing and have become apparent now that the "new" generation is supposed to take over. That Tavecchio is in the position speaks volumes on its own. It's also very significant for Italy.

One might say this is exactly what Italy needed. A very tangible wake up call. But we all know - this is Italy - the problems are far too rooted and nothing will change. We all knew this was coming sooner or later. The wake-up call was made years ago but no one can and will address it.

 

[DIECI]

please get Ancelotti!

 

[X Æ A-12]

1 week too late

 

[Lapa]

1 week too late

Yea

 

[DIECI]

this is cute but doesn't change anything as long as Tavecchio is still there. I don't think Ancelotti would come if he stays, he's not stupid to get thrown into this disaster. CHANGE NEEDS TO COME FROM THE TOP!

 

[Cerval]

Ventura fired, Tavecchio still in position

 

[GordoDeCentral]

Tavecchio can't be fired right @Mark?

 

[Mark]

Tavecchio can't be fired right @Mark?

I would guess the guys who voted for him could vote to get him out.

I guess not.

Old fart said he won't Damiano Tommasi left the room and was pissed.
