What the fuck are you talking about? Marotta was here 1 season before Conte. Do you know who he brought in during those first 2 transfer windows before Conte... Several players instrumental to our scudetti. Barzagli, Bonucci, Matri, Quags, Pepe, Storari.
No one has said Marotta doesn't make mistakes. But the only 3 players that were a part of the 4 scudetti run not brought in by Marotta were Buffon, Marchisio, Chiellini. He brought in 8 starters in two seasons, and turned a 7th place team into the unbeaten team, and a team that would win 4 scudetti, a Coppa Italia, and go to a CL final with a few key signings each summer since.
How the heck do you disparage that? It's beyond ridiculous. It's gross ignorance of facts.
If we don't win the scudetto this season, as long as we qualify for CL, I'll be disappointed, but I really won't be too miffed. There's a reason teams never win 5 straight titles, in any of the big leagues. If Marotta transitioned a very old team into a young and exciting team with massive potential, and Allegri manages to stay in the CL places, and get out of group stage in CL, I'll consider this season a success. I'll expect a much better season 2 for this revitalized team.

Badass telling people to stop bringing up the past.
