You are missing the point entirely. Del Piero was treated worse than Totti and he deserved to play more not because he was a club legend, but because he was way better than Borriello, Matri and Quagliarella. The club publicly forced him out and humiliated him by saying he can't stay regardless of the salary, but Buffon can stay as long as he wants. Yet, Del Piero kept quiet and helped the team win the Scudetto. Totti can barely walk, he has no place in this Roma team and should have been kicked out 2-3 years ago. In fact, Roma have treated him extremely well. And now that the team is winning without him, he goes out bitching.
The point is - Totti is a piece of shit.

btw spalletti about special treatment:

“I asked him do you want to be Giggs? You can be Giggs. Do you want to be Nedved? You can be Nedved. If you want to be a player, then you have to be on a par with the others in the team and I can’t allow you any special treatment.”

don't waste your precious time and energy, it'll be an easy win for nipples. milan will be without romagnoli, and that meant 2 defeats from 2 matches so far for them.
Looks like it. I expect Napoli to win all their home games, anyway. Only Bacca can take points off them tonight.

Nedved was different to them all, including Giggs. He was still an absolutely key player for us and called it a day before he became a bit-part player. Giggs was waning for several years and then had one last season where he barely held on to relevance. But not everyone can be Nedved.

The thought of Alex getting even less playing time by staying one more year would have been an even bigger insult to his legacy. There would have been even less minutes for him if he stayed one season longer. It was obvious that the club was going to expedite moving on to the next chapter in their history sooner rather than later
The board did the right thing by announcing it early in the season.
It avoids the type of melodrama that you are seeing now, that could potentially undercut the remainder of a season for Roma where they are finally starting to find themselves. And yes, I understand that Alex would not be making a public spectacle of it the way that Totti is, but it would not have stopped the media constantly asking the questions during the season unless the situation was handled early on.

And is there even a right way to handle something like this?

The only right way to do it would have been if Alex had announced that it was his last season

Vucinic, Quag and even Matri (for his poaching) were better than him, more effective in his last year. Giovinco would also be ahead of him in the pecking order. His moments of ingenuity became few and far between. I wouldn't mind if he stayed for another year if that's what Ale really wanted, but he'd hardly get any playing time and not because of personal decision.
