reactions/analysis and decisions require different skills. that's why top managers are paid the big bucks, and good analysts, well, not that much
btw i love marchisio, even if he doesn't scream leadership for me. i'd prefer chiellini and his big dick aura to take over neddy.
but if loyalty, intelligence (hey neddy), honesty and good looks (hey neddy again) are the top requirements for a juve vice-pres though... very few would beat marchisio.
