yes, and maybe cairo, but i'm not sure about it.

it's funny to see how de laurentiis is full of shit about tavecchio now that the old ass has miserably failed. yet adl trusted him 3 years ago.
its hard to believe to me that it was 18:2 in favor of Tavecchio, there had to be more people on side of Agnelli and Pallotta

the figc president is supposed to represent the whole calcio, so he's elected by a much wider public than only serie a clubs. serie b and even lega pro sides have also voted, with different weights assigned to their votes. tavecchio got like the 2/3 of votes, but albertini had little support from the top flight.

and thats what worries me, because why would it be any different this time? these clubs main way of thinking is anti Juve, pro Italia comes only after that

The clubs don’t really have that much of a say though. I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that in overall voting power, Lega Serie A has 12% of the vote in elections. Serie B, Lega Pro (C), Serie D and the Amateur leagues also voted for this idiot.

That is why he had no choice to resign.

First off he should have been sacked before the group stages finished because it was clear we were going no where with him.

Should have been sacked before the play offs started

Should have been sacked before the second leg kicked off

He had 3 chances to sack him and didn't when anyone with any footballing knowledge could see it was most likely going to end in disaster

Even if Ventura qualified us he should have still been sacked but you know Tavecchio wouldn't do that and that is why he should not be leader

At least he had the decency to resign unlike that narcissistic twat Ventura
Meanwhile tavecchio is busy shooting his mouth off blaming Lipo for this mess :lol: yeah blame the guy who holds no position within the organisation and is the current manager of China ffs :lol:

Exactly :lol: funny how everyone who voted him except lotito have been attacking him since the debacle. Fucking hypocrites and the lack of responsibility is just typical and sickening

Tavecchio accused of sexual harassment!!!!!!!!! You couldn't make this shit up given what's happening in the US and england of late
A lot of that type of news seems to be breaking to hurt people's reputations. At the very least it's the 'popular' thing right now.

Thing is if they really felt that bad about it why does it take years to stand up and speak out. I don't quite buy this excuse that they were scared and waited on someone speak up first. In tavecchio's case I hope it ruins him. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy given what he's said and gotten away with till now

I hear Mugabe might be out of a job soon. He's relatively young, at 93 years of age, by Italian standards. He possesses the necessary experience, so I think they should definitely consider him. They should start a petition to grant him an Italian passport.

There ought to be a statute of limitations of one week for these things, at the very least for adults. We got us a bonafide witch hunt.
I don't follow much of yellow pages and might not be aware of the current context, but still it makes little sense to me. If you're harassed by someone who's in a position to improve or trouble your career, you have 3 options - 1. accept, 2. decline and stay silent (at least till that person no longer has power over you) and 3. decline and fight. Your suggestion takes the most sensible (and probably the most popular too) option out of the equation

Who are the likely candidates now Tavecchio’s gone?
In my perfect scenario Albertini, or Maldini. I would also love Roberto Baggio as a replacement to Tavecchio, or if not president in a vital role working with Albertini or Maldini if they get the gig.
That would pave the way for Ancelotti to be the CT in my opinion. But with Ancelotti comes great responsibility, change will be necessary at all levels and with those guys I think it will happen. The FIGC, Serie A and B need to be all one entity working for a common goal to improve the sport as a whole for Italy on all levels. Not work against eachother like they do now.

I'm not saying it's easy to come out and say you're a victim immediately after it happened, but there are some serious problems with doing so 20 years after the fact:
1. It's impossible to prove it did or did not happen. Given that so much time has passed it's impossible to gather material evidence and the memories of witnesses might start to fade.
2. Coming out with this news when there's a shitstorm of this magnitude happening is cowardly at best and opportunistic at worst. It's the equivalent of kicking a man in the stomach when he's already down on hands and knees.

No material evidence is why it's a witch hunt.
