I know I kept saying that Ciro's redemption or demise lay at the end of a 3-1 result and it was meant as a running joke, but unfortunately it has been even worse than that tonight.
Now I'd like to think that I am no longer that impulsive a poster, so what I have to say has been quite a while coming and well backed-up. Ciro Ferrara is not and probably never will be an effective leader of men. If you were to tell me that the most creative partnership on the field would be a Caceres and Diego, Caceres playing more as a LWF than a fullback, I would have been skeptical even under Ranieritard.If you were to tell me that we would be humiliated by Napoli and humbled by Bordeux I would have laughed in your face.
Alas the situation has come to pass where the players are ineffectively performing their duties on the pitch. Our strikers aren't scoring, our midfielders aren't holding the line nor are their linking up with the great tan hope Diego, who has underperformed a lot this season. Now who do we blame?
Secco: buying melo for near enough 25Million instead of getting a CB and perhaps a younger unproven possible midfield gem. For buying Grosso instead of somebody half-decent?
It's true our squad is lacking in Areas on the pitch, but our team, our team is lacking in the dugout, at training and in the dressing room. Ciro Ferrara is not an effective man-manager and I think that this fact has been sorely overlooked. A great man-manager, maybe Harry Redknapp can take shit and turn it into diamonds, a bad man-manager turns diamonds into pure shit. The bottom line is that Ciro is either not ready or not good enough for our club, which is his club as well.
Feel free to disagree if you like but there's a cold hard fact here,
Juventus( and by proxy Ciro) had a target to Win the Scudetto and get to the QF of the Champions League. Now this can not be attained and as such Ciro has failed in his job and his contract should be terminated. If Ciro is still a Juventino he'll resign. I am not fucking going thorugh this shit again for the 3rd time in 4 years, the board better get in somebody brilliant before Christmas and the team better start performing better, or I don't see a point in watching this shite week in week out.
