Blanc stands by Ranieri
Wednesday 15 April, 2009
General manager Jean-Claude Blanc believes Juventus can still win the Scudetto, but whatever the outcome Claudio Ranieri will remain.
This Saturday they go head-to-head with leaders Inter in their last chance to reduce the 10-point gap at the top of the table and some say even a victory won't be enough to get them back into it.
“The title isn't in the bag for Inter yet,” insisted Blanc. “It is still open and we have a solid team with everything it takes to do well in the final seven rounds.
“I know full well that in the last few games we have not played well, but we are confident and concentrated.”
The 3-3 draw with Chievo and 3-2 defeat to Genoa highlighted problems in the Bianconeri side and Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport led the calls for Ranieri to be replaced.
“Ranieri will remain next season regardless of the results this term,” assured Blanc.
Juve must also overturn a 2-1 first leg defeat to Lazio in the Coppa Italia semi-final, to be played next week.

Blanc speaks so to calm down the fans, thinking that we are stupid and dont know the team's situation. We know that our team is not competitive and Ruineri is the first to blame. But to be fare with him, we not have good quality palyers who can win. Are Molinaro, Gyrgera, Legro, Mellberg, Tiago, Poulsen, Zebina quality players? Add to these the old Del Piero, Nedved, Zanetti and the off form Buffon, Chiellini and Camorinesi. How can we win anything? To add insult to injury, Ruineri is not motivating the players and is not preparing them as he should for the game. Ranieri doesnot want to play Giovinco as he doesnt like him. Inter will humiliate us next Staturday as the team is very tired and Inter want to celebrate the Scudetto on our ground. ANd in the mid-week Lazio will qualify for the Coppa Italia. Its another lost year as we didnt improve on last year, we will finish 3rd or 4th and next year with the same coach and management I am sure we will see the same pathetic dismotivated and unquality team.
This is what I hate about our stupid board, how can they possibly say that? If Ranieri loses the rest of the games this season and we play in the europa league next season he will still be our manager???!!!
I really hate these guys, right now Ranieri needs to know the pressure is on, if he thinks no1 cares what he does for the rest of the season then what is the point in him even trying?
Stupid idiotic board of directors lack ambition and a pair of balls

Blance sait Ranieri will stay immaterial what wre the results. So dont dream we will get rid of him. Neither do dream we will finish 2nd or will win the Coppa Italia. There is something wrong going on in the dressing rooms. The players are split between them and there is no teamwork, like DP played last Sunday. We are a finished team, a mediocre team, without any motivation and determination to win. A determined team does not concede 6 goals in 2 successive games.
That idea infact does scary me also. It is very possible as the management like him very much, because he covers there mistakes, in the buying of players. If his contract is renowed, I will noy follow them until he leaves, as I cant stand any suffering any more. This is the worst team I remeber in my life of 40 years folowing Juve, even worse than under Maifredi.
