Definitely the Allegri appointing is a very dangerous gamble...but it seems we were hand tied on this...as no experienced coach was available.
What i think, is that the board looked at him as someone , lets say "more maleable".. to not say a puppet, yet. What i mean?....just look at why the problem with Conte started. uit started because he was winning scudettos but he wanted to compete in the CL with high profile-top notch buys which we would be never able to deliver. The board had diferent ideas..and they instead were aiming for a more steady growth financially before commiting heavy dollars, but Conte had other plans..and when those plans werent fulfilled , he raged and then happened what happened yesterday.
IM pretty sure that with Allegri, things went on this lines : "Listen man...we are not going to spend like madmen because we have a financial aim for next year...we just need you to help us achieve that and serve as a bridge this season...we need you to continue winning and bring us a better run at the CL, and then, if you do good..maybe youll be able to stay. But for now... lets try to find opportunity players that you would like to use. SO please understand this."
