They can do something if they have resolve and take it as high as it needs to go (which will mean outside of Italy)
This is very true.
It's going to be difficult, and it's going to take a lot of time, as justice always does. But what you're saying is true.
Resolve? Seems to be in the bag. As a company, you don't release press statements such as that of today, unless you are prepared to walk the walk. Especially when your statements are being read by millions of people who take an interest in your every move.
The statement made today by the club was probably written a couple of weeks back. It might even have been written before Agnelli made his speech at the opening of the new stadium. It may seem like the club's lawyers were -just now- given the mandate to look into legal matters, but this isn't how these things work. Our lawyers have been at it for some time, probably ever since Moggi's Napoli-trial began to produce results.
The statement by the club tonight is not a bluff, it is the basis of a chosen strategy, and I'm happy that the club is taking this route.
Now, it may not amount to anything, and like I said, this is going to take a lot of time, because first the club has to go to the Italian courts, all of them if needed be, before they can take this to the international level. You can't just skip the national courts and go straight to the EU. So this could take betweeen 5-10 years as a matter of fact. But that's not important. To me, it's not even important whether or not we succeed in the courts (although I sincerely hope that we do). What's important is that the club is fighting for it's integrity, for it's fans and for everyone associated with it, and that we are going against the most pathetic, amaturistic football association in all of Europe, which really is a joke, and should be shut down permanently.
It's all a little to late. In fact it's very late. And that could prove to be the stumbling block for a "happy ending" down the road. But I agree with Hustini's words "Better late than never".
Justice, and the pursuit of it, has a value of it's own. It's priceless.
