passion's unit of measure = :money:
i don't interest if he has a juve tattoo and attending the games. we need a investor like our enemies' presidents. if there is no investor in italy, there will be plenty of foreign investors. if they are interested with freaking chelsea and manchester city they will jump on the opportunity. don't come up with agnelli blood think, they have already betrayed Agnelli's trust when they didn't give a shit, while we were going to serie b. they could stop it in legal or illegal ways.
You are letting yourself down, fella...making mistakes due to inexperience in running a football club is not the same as willful betrayal. We got out of Serie B at the first time of asking, with ease. We were forced to clean out the board and related staff after calcipoli. Yes, the appointments made were not the best. But we got back up to Serie A, and even with ranieri and less than ideal signings, we made it to 3rd, then 2nd. Last summer we spent Big, on two players especially we ALL felt would vastly improve our potential.
I see no betrayal. or lack of regard for the club. And I for one, and hopefully many, prefer the club to retain its very italian heritage and roots, rather than sell out to a rich arab or russian oligarch.
You question Lapo's passion for the club, because he hasn't invested his own pennies into the business??? How rich do you think he is??? He loves the club, as much as you or I, probably more, as it has been a part of his life since he was born. He is tied to the club by blood, as is his brother, who is also tied by massive financial interests.
They did give a shit when we were in Serie B. John has other interests to attend to than solely Juventus. he is very high up in a massive investment company which controls Juve as well as myriad of other companies... Before calciopoli, it was fine to leave Bettega and Moggi to keep the ship sailing proud and safely. But after that, we brought in eager but less technically gifted people to do their jobs...
