It's no excuse for Allegri but in 2 consecutive seasons 2000/01 & 02 we didnt pass the group stage, finishing bottom in both seasons, 1st group stage in '01 and 2nd group stage a season after. It was a weird system back then, you had to play 2 group stages to reach the QFs. We barely got passed the 2nd group stage in 2002/03 and went on to play the final afterwards. Ive seen some really crappy seasons back in the days so people should chill a bit. Its not the end of the world.

Hehe, the game was posponed 2 times cuz of fog and then we smashed Bayer when it was finally played. See response above about early exits.
in 2001/2002 and 2002/2003.. They used that format for R16 making another groups stage of 4 groups of 4 teams
2001/2002.. advanced from first group stage (32 teams) and in R16 group stage we played Leverkusen, Arsenal and Depor
2002/2003 we had a difficult group, Deportivo again and Tudor got us to R8 vs barca.. semi vs. Real.. then we lost the final to Milan
+ yeah.. it is not the end of world for sure..
Those of us who supported Juve for what it was in the 90s are now reaching our 40+ year of age.. we are not passionate about football as we were in our teens and twenties..
It is the end of "world football" for us...
Instead.. we are seeing the Juve we loved vanish into thin air..
And unfortunately... if no drastic changes happens
Starting with this fraud..
We are not coming back..
We will be like what Ajax was one day..
Did not manage to upgrade to modern football/business..
Was a power horse one day
10-20 years from now.. people will remember Juve as a team that was once a power horse..
We are not gaining any new fans
No likeable players
No results
No beautiful football
No style
No values.. grinta... fine alla fine etc
All new fans are either Real's barca MC PSG Bayern Liver etc..
This basically means
"The start of the end"
As far as Allegri is concerned.. he is 100% not the only problem.. but the first one to fix and as soon as possible
