IIf anyone truly believes that much more could have been achieved by going to TAR then they are seriously living in cloud cuckoo land. [B]The only things that would have been achieved is a further delay in the start of the new season and the consequent lose of goodwill, independent support and affection from other team management and fans, who at the end of the day just want to watch their team play.[/B]
The management after all do know the depths that Moggi went to, and they do know just how far they can push the system. Yes, they postured as though only Seria A and titles would satisfy them; what else should they do: in a position of weakness they could not show weakness, especially when trying to hold on to as many of our best players as possible.
Praise them for the further reduction in points deduction, and more especially for holding on to Trezeguet and Buffon!![/QUOTE]
Bianconero, I appreciate what you're saying but do you seriously think we have ANY goodwill, independent support and affection from other teams? Oh come on.
We are the most hated team in the league precisely because we are the most successful. Of course Inter and Milan and Fiorentina jst want to get on with the championship and see their team play - since when do we care about fiorentina fans? What going on here? Juve have acted in an overly-civilised and restrained way here. It has not worked for us. Milan went absolutely crazy when they were handed out their first sentence AND THEY WERE STILL IN SERIE A!!! They blustered like mad and threatened all sorts of things and look what it got them - a nothing point reduction and re-admittance to the Champions League. Don't tell me that Galliani was any sort of saint and that they werent as heavily corrupted and involved in the system as Moggi. They OWNED the system with all the TV rights and peripheries. They got off scott-free because of their hard-man talk FROM THE BEGINNING.
I am not really the type who mouths off in my life, even when I think something is not right. I'm always diplomatic but I have seen time and time again how its only the big-mouths who ever get anywhere. It frustrates the hell out of me that the management tried to do the right thing by humbly accepting what was happening and trting to make amend. But when it became clear that Rossi et co were laughing and then handed us out another thrashing and insult in the appeal, we HAD to say NO. Enough with the bending over and taking it. We tried to be fair - you were not. Now its time to get nasty and got to the TAR and Euro court. Dont mess with us WE ARE JUVE. Even if it got us nothing we would have made a stand on principle and gone down fighting.
Sorry for the rant guys, I'm really pissed off.
FORZA JUVE!!
