Besides you and Kyle, do you feel there are any others on tuz who have stood by Allegri's side and wanted him to remain after the disappointments of last season?
me too. i've been telling for years that it's the squad that needs fixing, not the coach. i might be wrong of course, but with players like de sciglio, bonucci, rugani, matuidi, bentancur, and this calendar year, mandzukic (who's btw one of my darlings) in the starting lineup, we cannot realistically aim for the cl trophy. and i always said that we need more consistency, and we shouldn't be aiming for an other transition year every single summer. our best squad was the 2014/15 one, it only needed two better attacking fullbacks. i dunno who's to blame for all these summer mercati (marotta? paratici, who did the scouting?), still, i always had the feeling that once we strengthened a key area of the squad, we instantly replied with weakening an other.
also, talk about disappointment: in the cl knockouts or final with allegri, juve were beaten by real madrid, bayern and barcelona before the loss to ajax. all were more experienced, more expensive, higher rated teams, and in most cases, the ties were decided by unlucky incidents. so looking at the bigger picture: one single slip-up in 5 seasons? juventus is around the 10-11. place in the football money league, yet allegri made it a top5 squad on the rankings. and back to the thread now: i'd be fucking happy with our next coach if he could achieve a similar record.
