The Pep rumors really hurt our club.
For starters we never stood a chance, as Pep only accepts jobs that can provide the highest budget and we could never offer that.
He is a very overrated coach, for all the wrong reasons, he never made the underdog win anything and we need exactly that, however winning the CL with the Messi +Iniesta super team still makes him hold some hype, we should avoid at all costs being linked with such persons. There were unrealistic exceptions, that will cast shades and dark light to any decent coach we are bound to get, we only had to lose from these rumors.
Considering our continuous inability to get an established coach ever since calciopoli,
we should at all costs avoid another prestige blow.
The way Pep disregarded our interest and the way we reacted further damaged our prestige, instead of saving face...
And lastly we lost valuable time at preparing vital transfer moves, in an extremely crucial moment for our club when the transfer director and coach are changed and time is bound to be lost, yet CR7's age allows none.
Momblano is to be blamed above all, even if Andrea wanted Pep and pushed for him, our immenent failure to get him and prestige damage could be avoided, by avoid putting so much attention to it.
Once Sarri is to be named, Momblano should be excommunicated, if not burned to the stake in a central Torino plaza...
And of course our mngnt, they ought to had a plan behind scenes, for the change and present the new coach as soon as Max was shown the door.
At least they can still save face by saying that Sarri was our plan all long, presenting actual convincing arguments about this choice, announce that Pep was never an option for the time being and we were only waiting for Sarri to resolve his contract with Chelsea.
