Hey guys, i was watching Mughini speek on tv, he is a great juventus fan and someone who says clearly the way things are. He said that John Elkan, in an interview on an italian newspapaper yesterday ( saturday) , John Elkan said that Juventus is just another firm like Fiat they own, and no money will be speent at the risk of the balance of such a firm. To a question if Juvetnus will spend some money on a big signing he said that if juventus want a new star he will have to come out from their own youth system.
What do you think? I might sound really pessimistic but i think its going to be very hard to return amongst the top clubs in europe with such managment.. I think juventus staff lack a person who realy loves the club, who really is a supporter, like the great gianni agnelli... If any one can post the link of the above mentioned article id like to reed it.

Part 3
Question: Mentioning the players grown here: could your captain, Del Piero, become the Boniperti of the future?
John: "For now, he still plays. We had no doubts that he would stay in Juve. He is a great talent, he always remained close to his teammates and he also is married to a lady from Turin.
Del Piero is the example of what the football player today unfortunately lacks. Same thing, Ciro Ferrara: arrived from Napoli, but now his house is Turin".:confused2
Will you succeed to keep Buffon?
John: "Yes, we are in a position to stop him leaving. What counts is that it will be a shared decision. Camoranesi, in the end was pleased that he remained, and he expresses it also on the pitch. Going back to Buffon, we hope he wins the Golden Ball because he deserves it".
What do you think of assigining the scudetto that was taken from Juventus to Inter?
John: "It was not won on the field. They could also not accept it. After all, I do not believe that the Inter fan is very pleased with a scudetto gained in this way. The scudetto would have been better not to be assigned. As for inter, I wish them the best because they can win the current one on the field".
Question: Who will build Juve in Serie A? It is not believed that Bettega and Alessio Secco can follow what was achieved in the period of Moggi and Giraudo?
John: "The influence of Moggi is absolutely under zero. Bettega is a special consultant of Blanc, but has no office in the club. The sporting decisions will be the mission of three people: Secco, Blanc and Deschamps".
Question: You have removed Moggi, but we still find him on television and newspapers and almost always he talks about Juventus.
John: "Well, I don't think he will last for a long time working like that".
Question: What about the idea to claim the damages of Moggi and Giraudo?? Is it still resisted or was it shelved?
John: "It is now in the hand of the legal evaluation. It is necessary to see how the trial will evolve".
Question: How much time and how many money does Juve want to compete for the scudetto?
John: "Inter is the example that proves that money isn't the decisive factor. What counts are the justifications: and it was showed by the national team's victory in the World Cup".

Moggi replies to the words of Elkann about him:
http://qn.quotidiano.net/chan/tuttocalcio:5446290:/2006/11/15:
Briefly, Moggi said that Juve old managers deserve some respect, and reminds John that the players and the club he inherited are the results of the "effectiveness of their planning"...
He also said that Juve can compete for the top ranks in Serie A again...
He is so happy for the young players coming into the first team, and says that he is happy for John, Lapo and all Juve fans...

We managed for 12 years without the Agnellis dipping into their pockets (much to other team's jealousy). It can be done, but you need good management, good marketing sense, good sponsors, & Moggi's talent of spotting a potential bargain as far as players are concerned. 
If there is no significant injection, we wont buy a big name next year, we might end up selling a star before having sum cash to invest in a prospect but definately not a big signing.
Harsh judgement by my booksI respect the old board as much as I did back then, well perhaps abit less, but not significantly so.
Don't be harsh on the Triade .. remember even though we're in seire B .. but because of their intelligence we got a CL and got into 3 other finals ... not counting the scudettos won in the 90s and 2000s ... some of u guys got to give them some credit for that now ...
and about John .. I don't like his ways but I still wish him the best of luck ...
