We needed to be aggressive in the market & get some reputable players. But we went for too many average players. Everyone knew our defence was useless except our board yet we concentrated on spending a huge chunk on the midfield. We should have started facing out the old guards yet we stick to them like they will never loose their shine. We believed in our own invincibility to the point of recklessness & it's payback time. And you know what they say, payback is a ......
Diego, Melo, Cannavaro, Caceres and Grosso...those are reputable players, and except for Grosso not average ones by any stretch of the imagination...our defence is not clueless, they were 2nd or 3rd best in the league consistently till this season...as for replacing the old guard, I agree we should have been more proactive on that front, but they are franchise players and fiding replacements for them is a very diificult task, and cannot be done realistically with the likes of Man. City, Chelsea and Madrid all looking to pay crazy fees and salaries for the best players.
On the whole our squad is still very good, if not CL winners worthy then definitely a Scudetto-winning one...we need to cut our losses, get rid of Ciro asap and get a proper Coach in there.

Melo was unproven & the price we paid was too much, Diego was good for Bremen because the whole team revolved around him. Now he will need to find himself & that is not helped by the fact that he is played out of position. Cannavaro is finished. He still understands the game but the body can't do it anymore. Grosso, where do I start? Caceres was some sort of panic buy. Hey if we raid barca's bench it might just rub off onto us. To think that we bought Cannavaro, Caceres & Grosso to upgrade our defence is just laughable. Now we just look like a bunch of cartoons when all our expensive midfielders can't get the ball, our strikers are on holiday & our defence is toyed around like they have never played together on the same pitch. On top of all this we got a rookie coach.
The thing is in addition to those points our defence last season looked better because our midfielders were covering their ass more. This season the defence is exposed more and therefore we've seen some really poor stuff from those guys.
With the 4-4-2 system each and every defender has a midfielder to cover for him and to help him out. With the both the 4-3-1-2 and 4-2-3-1 our flanks are pretty much exposed and in that system we really need quality fullbacks to do the job.
A smart and "experienced" management and coach would see these flaws even before the season have started but because we have a clueless management and an inexperienced coach they've finally (am hopping) reallized that they've done a huge mistake now.
Perhaps thats why after the last meeting they've came out and said that Ferrara is not the guilty one because they (the management) knew that they've fucked up pretty bad last summer and the years before.
The management are guilty just like Ferrara is guilty and having both of them (an inexperienced management + inexperienced coach) is a Recipe for Disaster....

Turk, you don't understand. Even if you think Moggi is innocent, you still want to distance yourself from claiming an individual can be equated to a club. You want to make it seem if any suspicion is proven, that it is contained to a sole individual working by himself, not an organization. It's called risk management, look it up.
Just, wow. Please stop adding to our downfall.

I know, it's crazy for me. Even if he was proven guilty, we have all seen how messed up italian courts are and because of this there will always be a rain cloud and a shred of suspicion/doubt looming over our club. This is precisely why Moggi needs to find another club.
That would be f*cking great. Not to mention he would trash our scouts who do nothing and hopefully bring some of his with him.
That would be genius. 
Here's a nice read on his time in Napoli
