Yea, I think he was still finding himself and getting comfortable with his own position. Although, given a free reign, I don't think most of those SD's mentioned earlier would've disbanded the team quite the same way Beppe did. In all honesty, the approach itself took away his credibility, if we had made two or three sensible buys last year, that team would still be pretty strong to contend with today. Also, I know you don't agree with this stance, but Conte deserves a lot of the credit for how the money was spent this year - had it still been Dl Neri in charge, we would've had another new team with big money spent on players just to appease the fans and convince ourselves that we are still a big club.
