I'm not sure why anyone would elevate a coach after failure, which is why no one did. Allegri had credit in the bank for his previous achievements but it's obvious the second spell is not a success, even with improved results this season.
I actually do want dominance as this is something Juve fans are accustomed to, even if it's not going to be 9 in a row. Otherwise you're basically saying that playing nice football and winning something now and again is more important. That's ok if you're a Roma or Napoli fan I guess. But first things first, we need to win one scudetto and build on that. Allegri could probably get us over the line if he is given long enough but it does seem like too much of a slog to put up with for much longer. We have 19 points more than this stage last season so the improvement in that respect is clear. I know, they were all lucky 1-0 wins hanging on, etc.
We need an identity. Allegri's style is not at all suited to these players even if we have improved. We need to build something, like you mentioned we have improved but I still don't think we know who we are or what we want to be. Allegri is finished as a top coach because unlike his previous spell he hasn't shown a willingness to adapt, that for me is a death-knell for managers.
I know this sound hyperbolic and exaggerated given we have improved this season but really that has all been based on player form as opposed to tactical or idealogical changes in play. I also don't see how Allegri can match up with this new idea we have of bleeding in youngsters in the long term, he will always search for established players as they are perfect for what he wants to do and how he likes to play. It would be a massive mistake to keep him beyond this season. I completely agree that we need to dominate, it is a must for us.
In regards to others comments about not winning the champions league Etc, that may be true but also football is never as simple as most money = winning European trophies but that is looking too far ahead anyway. This season we must secure top 4 and then put in a clear plan for the next 5 years, I fail to see how Allegri could fit into that unless we want to continue with this unconvincing style that we have seen for the last couple of years.
This Inter game was Max in a nutshell, he still thinks that we have the team we once had and that not losing is more important than winning - I think with a confidence based team that we currently have you had to try and win this game and that if you lost well you accept that. The only way we could flip the momentum was a win. I think young inexperienced teams need these types of wins to grow, Allegri was more convinced that not losing will suffice, I disagree.
