Hi everyone,

I think it's for the best of the club, i just wish it wasn't before the last game.

Just because some people were corrupt doesn't mean the whole club is. We have a great history behind us and looking forward to a fresh start.

Speaking of corruption The famous British journalist Andrew Jennings authored a new book entitled "red card. FIFA exciting secrets"reveals the extent of the corruption that reached by the International Football Federation" FIFA "

Reveals included in the book published in both Britain and France at the same time for bribes amounting to 1 million Swiss francs (650 thousand euros), the company sold products Sports International Sport Lizior known to shorten the name of a share to account FIFA in 1998.

The book shows also that it is suspected that the officials of FIFA has Stolen a total amount of 80 million euros, the company paid a unified the International Union for access company Globo of Brazil on the rights of broadcasting the 2002 World Cup and 2006.

I am not saying cheating is ok and those who cheated should be punished but that got nothing to do with Juventus name and history.

thanks. that would mean there wont be any match this sunday. :confused:
From what it reads, it sounds like it.

Think about it: with much of the whole league being implicated in this scandal, does it make sense to play games at this time?

Personally, I disagree with the policy, though. Until you can convict on evidence, you're presuming a bit to simply cancel or postpone all matches. Let alone what it means for the innocent teams who cannot have their fans come to games and get revenue from that.

And the WC is coming, so there's not a lot of time to make up...

Fifa has ordered all the FAs to finish their championships before the 15th of May so i don't think there will be any suspension for sunday's games

I just hope that all the possible illegal things will be cleared fast. if moggi fixed matches and we have to go to serie b or c I will support juventus more than ever. juventus is my team and I will ever love Juventus. I just hope that we get a new management fast. at the moment we are without our head.

Boy oh boy does Italian football need a good World Cup after this mess...
How will we get a good WC, if some of the players are juventini, the coach is a "juventino" and there are people (=Totti) that already spat their "Juve paying refs? I've always known it, it's nothing new to me" BS? :wallbang:

But, if Materazzi does his job tonight on Totti...

I agree with those that said that having the board of directors resign en masse really is fishy-I doubt t would have happened if there wasn't some truth to the allegations

Because in Italy, as in most countries besides maybe Spain, the World Cup transcends national club football.

I think he basically means Italy and Spain, aint as eager for the world cup unlike countries like brazil, argentina or germany.. of course ignoring past events too much he means more emphasis is spent on the leagues due to their infrastructure and star players it has a bigger impact on general fans than their respective countries do in international matches.

This is all so unreal, absolutely shocking news. Not shocking with regard to the developments, but moreso the timing. With the rumour mill in full swing, it was only a matter of time before such a catastrophic move occured, but it is so unfortunate it's happened the way it has. Ladies and gentleman, do you realise the consequences of this move? We have, for all effective purposes assigned the Scudetto to Milan. I cannot see either Capello or the players be focussed about the big one come Sunday. Everybody is now only considering their own individual futures at the club. Yes, that would include the likes of Capello and even Del Piero. Dont underestimate this situation, it's nothing less than cataclysmic.


Keep your fingers crossed. Forza Juve.

Ill rather lose the scudetto than go down to serie B or C for that matter, Juve have always had the pride of never going down to the lower divisions. For once we may face the thing which possibly never dreamed of and that is not being in serie A at all. To be honest despite how anti capello I may be, for once I aint even concerned about him and if he should leave or not but rather about the backbone of several directors leavings, its a stackload and no matter who replaces them I cant imagine them to just pick up and reshuffle things without having massive consequences of the club as a whole both on and off the pitch.
