- Thread starter ReBeL
- Start date
I've calmed down since posting this in the Farsopoli thread, as the first time I read it, I was infuriated.
The Elkanns have turned this team into a joke, just a quick recap-
- did NOTHING to help the club during Calciopoli (remember what our lawyer said: "we deserve Serie C")
- hired Coboli Gigli, a man with NO previous football experience
- hired BLANK, again, NO experience
- gave SUCKO Moggi's old job...again NO EXPERIENCE
- the countless bad signings (do we need to even go over them ??)
- anyone remember the hard time DP and Trez were given when it came to re-signing contracts ?? They forget that these champions were at this club while they were involved in other businesses that had nothing to do with Juve or football for that matter
- the hiring of RUINeri, which seems like a great move compared to what we went through recently. This club DESERVES better than what weve been given
- giving Ferrara, a man with no coaching experience, the reins to this team
Unless we get the triade back, with Andrea Agnelli, we will never see the old Juventus again....unless of course some rich oil baron/shiek comes along and splashes big money into players and management. I wont hold my breath.....

I recall, during Calciopoli, a few Juventini saying that di Montezemolo and Elkann wanted to hurt the club to make it easier to sell off. I scoffed at their theories at the time. While I still don't believe what they were saying, I would never of imagined the club being in this position.
Simply, the level of incompetence displayed in all departments within the club, is staggering. It is difficult is see us ever being a power again in Italy, let alone the World/Europe.
it's partly true. They wanted to hurt the club to make it easier to control it. They could never remove Triade from their positions so they needed an ''excuse''. People calling that excuse calciopoli. No room for dignity and shame in Elkann mentality. why sell club when you have biggest billboard to marketing your junk?
Honestly i don't believe this whole conspiracy theory about the Elkanns wanting to hurt the club. If you're going to do it, why would you spend around 135 million euros in 3 seasons to buy new players ?! Why waste all that money in the first place ?!
What is happening to Juve IMO is simple, the owners hired the "wrong" people to run this club and in the past 2 seasons they (the directors) managed to get away with soo many wrong decisions but they can't run away for ever.
I've always thought to myself what makes Juve so succesfull in the past, we're not the richest club in the world, we don't have big number of fans turning out to our games every week in the stadium just like the other european big clubs, we didn't have one coach that was succesfull with us for years and years (just like United and arsenal) we change coaches almost every 3 years. So what made this Juve so succesfull in the past ?
The management, we had one of the smartest management in europe. Thats what made us unique, and when that is gone we just became an average club. Right now we have below average directors who have absalutely no clue about the game so it shows.

They didn't spent a cent of their own. 135 million was club's money. Damage has been done, Triade have gone. There won't be any additional damage but they won't help the club, they won't invest money, we will eventually turn into a mid table club. What happened to Lazio in near past is very possible for us now.
This club definitely needs a new start. I haven't found a reason to beleive in the Elkann's to provide that new basement. I seriously wouldnt mind if the club is being taken over by someone else even if Fiat has been together with Juve for a long time. We need a new ownership, new mangement with vision and the awareness that they are dealing with one of the greatest clubs in football history
Well said. Elkann is a business man and he views Juve as such. As long as Blanc and company keep the club sustainable he is happy. Not until we fail to make CL will these imbeciles be fired.
Remember that capital increase of + £70m we got when we came out of serie b? Than you have Moggi who is always commenting how he survived throughout the years without any handouts from the owners. Regardless, money is not an issue. It's how our moronic management spend it.

That's where our fall truly started, not during Calciopoli. When you even look at our "youngsters": Giovinco, Marchisio, De Ceglie, all three of them were introduced by Didier into the first team. Since he left, we didn't have a single player promoted from the primavera, nor had we bought any player that would matter, bar Sissoko (who, if I remember correctly, was linked to us since Deschamps' days). I still think that once Didier was gone, hiring Ranieri was the sensible idea, but let's face it, he didn't live up to his reputation of a team builder.
