Conte probably had a lot to do with it aswell, he was in an unprecedented position of power at the time after bringing us back to winning ways in that first season so i think it’s actually not that far fetched at all to suspect that he probably still had his feelings hurt by the fact he was stripped of the armband in their playing days....

Perhaps he worked behind the scenes on getting him out by convincing the board that ADP wasn’t a good fit to his system or not physically up to what he demands in his training routines anymore, heck he might’ve even blinded everyone that it was the perfect time to part ways with him on a high because they were starting a new cycle and bla bla.

I think one thing we can assume for sure here is that Conte did have some sort of an influence in his departure regardless of who eventually made the final decision to cut all ties in the end.

I would suspect conte before Nedved until more facts come out

Nedved has shown how much of a snake he is but he needs to be given the benefit of the doubt. Plus, I don’t think he was a VP at the time

His wiki says this
On 12 October 2010, Exor (the Agnelli family's investment company) nominated Nedvěd for a seat on the Juventus board of directors; he remains a director as of the 2018–19 season. On 23 October 2015, Nedvěd was appointed vice chairman of the board of directors.

I honestly also don’t necessarily see Nedved as being any major part of this specific sharade, but who really knows afterall..

All true. But DP still had a perfect goodbye, which gives a little consolation I guess.

Also, not coming to JS is his own decision I think. Wants a bit more time to pass.
well, i don’t have myself much to object regarding the farewell itself, was actually quite beautiful and emotional, ofc when you think it’s Del Piero we are talking about perhaps it could have been done even better but whatever i guess...

What gets to me most is the mere departure itself which was definitely an unforgivable mistake by those who made the final decision, more so without even having any adequate replacement lined up yet, as if parting ways when in fact by all means he fully deserved to stay and return to the UCL for one last dance with the club wasn’t already an oddly enough direction to take.

I don't think it was a perfect goodbye.

Totti had a perfect goodbye. The opportunity to say a speech etc

A lap of honour is not enough for a legend like Del Piero.

- - - Updated - - -


The massive jersey on the field, all the players and family there in one moment to say goodbye etc that's a perfect goodbye not the shit Alex got. He has basically been shut out since he stepped off the field.
Totti did overstay tho, a lot actually (which caused some degree of bad-blood within the club and even some fans), unlike Ale.

Always better to leave soon than overstay.

Forza Ale!

It's not fresh news that he also had a hand in firing Max in order to bring in Sarri who he favored. Tici had his blessing this act of self sabotage.
1- There's a reason only Paratici left before Max came back. Surely Max wouldn't return to a club with a snake directly involved in club matters.
2- Agreeing parting ways by 'mutual consent' with a coach because you wrongly believed the team will evolve after him is not a snake-ish act.
3- Nedved has done so much for this club over the years including sticking with us in Serie B despite the fact Mino Raiola had offers from all over Europe. Doesn't sound like a snake to me.

But hey when you force yourself into believing something without actual proof, there's no hope of convincing you otherwise.

100% Conte in my opinion. Conte was obsessed with big lumbering turds like Borriello, Bendtner, Anelka. Made no space for a guy like Del Piero in his squad. He played him under 500 minutes in Serie A in 2011-12. Borriello came halfway through the season and got more minutes in Serie A even though he scored only 2 goals in his time here (less than DP that season). :sergio: It would have been even worse in 2012-13 if DP had remained.

Why would he not attend any more Juve games because of Conte though?

If you want to believe he is innocent in forcing out a perennial winner in order to replace him with a loser then you are more than free to do so.

Just bc he stuck around in Serie B doesn’t absolve him of his mistakes in the future.

If anything he is culpable as Agnelli and Tici for the club’s current state.

But no, according to you he’s done so much for the club over the years. If you could simply explain his responsibilities for his role that would be a huge favor to which I would be thankful for.

It's as if he is given a free pass because of what he did in the past.

Conte probably pushed for it while Agnelli & co obviously facilitated it.

Most likely pushed for it by not guaranteeing ADP any decent playing time while also making him seem as an misfit both physically and tactically to Agnelli/management whom eventually facilitated the divorce without intervening in any way over the coach's assessment... IMO everyone at the time believed in Conte's system so truth be told i doubt anyone would contradict him over tactical decisions or the way he handled the players at his disposal, especially even more so after making us look again relevant as a team.

The disrespect and lack of support from Agnelli & co at the time is what probably kept Del Piero away for this long, while in all fairness there's also the emotional factor that could also be playing a big part in him not attending any games at the J stadium ever since.

So, mistakes make you a snake now? When did I ever say that his decision (Allegedly) to replace Allegri was wise or good?

Do you even know the correct usage of the word 'snake'? :howler:

Maybe JCK can explain it to you since you are so incapable of grasping a simple discussion point.

His part in forcing him out entailed both. I’m not here to trade blows with you but it is realistically possible that he’s a snake and poor at his job.

Keep defending him from anyone else’s speculation if he’s so sacred to you
It doesn’t affect me that you do kind sir.

Incompetent ≠ snake
