Actually, there's a chance of winning the treble! :D

Maybe Ciro will turn everything around and bring us the treble. It's possible. Not likely to happen but possible nonetheless.

No chance of the treble.

We can't even beat Bari or Catania so can you see us doing the double over Milan, beating Inter at the San Siro and beating Fiorentina in Florence cause thats what we're going to have to do.

Ciro has lost the support of the fans and maybe even the locker room but not the board by the looks of it.

They say you always need the support of two of those three to keep your job.

Possibly, but even when we overrated them , im very sure we cando muuch better with what we have got, and thats what makes me furious. We are a joke right now, and is not only because of Ciro. Something must be done!.

And about replacing Ciro with Nedved,..... no, simply no.....
Ill not resist seeing nedved being booed by the fans in the Olimpico and getting trashed 4-0......... simply NO.

One simple guess from me.. We overrate(d) our own players and team. Expectations killed the team?
Yeah maybe but so far this season Ciro hasn't shown any qualities as a coach.

He can't seem motivate the players and he can't even enforce a particular style of play or formation and our team look cluless and unorganized.

Maybe our players are overated but even weaker teams know what their doing and have a plan.

Catania and Bari knew exactly how to beat us because they knew our weakness and we don't seem to have a plan B.

None at all. It seems he got his training from FM games. Just a horrible tactician.

who ever started the nedved rumor didn't put in his mind that he cant be a coach since he is not certified.

I agree with Dominic regarding the expectations. at one point we were promised a barca type of team which is ridiculous. we will never be barca and barca will never be juve. our style is too different.

imho the mistake wasnt hiring ciro. it was not hiring a good assistant coach to help him. after all its his first time coaching.

also, ever since calciopoli I haven't been convinced with our technical staff. the team never looked as if they train together.

I dont see any WC coach coming for two main reasons. first, there aren't many available and second, lets face it, why would a WC coach come here? we are not offering him as much control or resources as he can get in the premiership. we are just offering a club with allot of pressure.

So, In addition to bettega coming and hopefully sidelining secco, we should get a good assistant coach.

Marcello Lippi rules out Juventus returnDecember 22, 2009 12:00:00 AM PST

Italy coach Marcello Lippi has firmly denied that he will return to his former club Juventus once the Azzurri's World Cup campaign has come to a close next summer.

Juventus are in the midst of a difficult run of form having lost five of their past six games in all competitions and speculation is inevitably surrounding the position of coach Ciro Ferrara, who was appointed on a permanent basis in June.

Lippi remains a popular figure in Turin having won five Serie A titles and the 1996 Champions League with Juve and he has not committed to remaining as Italy manager beyond the 2010 finals in South Africa.

However, a return to the Bianconeri is distinctly unlikely, according to the man himself. Lippi told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I don't know what I will do after the World Cup but I will not return to Juve, neither as coach nor director."

Ancelotti won the 2006 World Cup with Italy before quitting the national post. However, he returned to coach the Azzurri once again in 2008 following the departure of Roberto Donadoni.

While I think it makes sense not to lay out big money mid-season for a top-tier coach when we're already eliminated from the Champions League, in some way I can't help but think the board has decided that they've given up on the Scudetto and are merely hoping to survive with a CL spot by this coming summer with some extra cash in pocket.
