Not old enough to live thru the late 80s and early 90s but these last three seasons have been tough to live thru as a fan of the club. I genuinely think the club is living possibly its worst period. I remember the Serie B season but I still thought this is a short transitional period despite the 7 place finishes... for the last 3-4 years, I genuinely don't find any hope and I think it would be a while to bounce back.
We had bad runs in the late 80s, early 90s.. but Serie A, the heaven of football back then, was not that bad as now and lagging behind.. the gap now with other leagues, EPL in particular is huge..
With such poor management, it is even worse..
+Serie B season was a bit unknown.. we could imagine we would be back within one season in B to Serie A with ADL, Buffon, Nedved, Trez and Camo staying and with players like C.Zanetti.. etc.... Then, the years after, with Ranieri, it was not that bad considering 3rd and 2nd finishes
Even if financials were not great, the gap with other leagues/teams was not as huge as now... we could offer to buy players or close to it but to compete with salaries was difficult.. Serie A generally and our level was not that bad for 3 consecutive seasons in any given period as now without a light at the end of the tunnel..
So yeah.. fully agree
