I am fed up with this bullshit routine of supporting Ferrara...for two more games now. If he had a history as a decent coach, and was seemingly going through some form of crisis, but we had history to remind us that he will come good, then fine...i could understand sticking with him. But this is not the case. There is NOTHING to suggest that Ciro will steer us out of the darkness, into the light. And this season so far, has shown the worst Juve I have ever seen...in nearly 20 years of supporting the club. I didn't like us under Capello, but we were very hard to beat and successful. That is the point...Like Ranieri is doing at Roma. He has made them horrible to watch, but results wise, their improvement under his stewardship has been immense. With Ciro, we have neither wonderful to watch or RESULTS ORIENTATED football.
We have...a shambles. I sincerely hope that massive effort is being put into finding a new coach. Either to bring in shortly, or to bring in during the summer. Even so, with a summer coach lined up, I would still rather see someone else managing the team, a coach who has PROVEN experience at winning games. At managing players. Tactically capable as well as man management capable. Ciro lacks these two prime requirements. Clearly. And persevering with him is only going to send us deeper into the abyss.
His willingness to continue is hardly commendable, nor inspiring. He has failed. And we have become worse than what we were under Ranieri. Despite the large outlay of $$$$ during the summer.
Its fair enough to suggest that he needs time. But the expectations of Juventus, are not in line with a creche for rookie managers.
If Hiddink isn't available, we should aim for Gasperini. He is a juventino, and despite his contract at Genoa, I have little doubt that he would be willing to take on what would be a dream job. He can bring Criscito with him if he likes...
I respect Ciro still as the player he was, but as a manager he has shown nothing of value, everything worthy of contempt and pity...and I dont want to be pitying the manager of the team I love with heart and soul.
