I understand the perspective from which you are looking at this however there’s also worth pointing out we’ve still tried to offload Dybala even a month or two after Max was gone, so i dont know exactly what’s the truth there but perhaps is somewhere in the middle.
All in all, i’ve actually also been pointing out ever sincer October/November that the management didn’t help at all in find finding Sarri the players that fit his system so that takes us again to the main point here which is that we’ve not seen much of an improvement this year compared to the last seasons, and that’s just as much on the management as it is on the Coach, without a doubt.
I feel like typing so let me entertain you.
Ill try to guess what happened, as it is difficult to know what really went on behind the scenes. Ill speculate a little from what i perceive.
-Last year, the team was playing a very lacklustre football and the board decided a change was needed. Allegri, while very good at thinkering, was a self proclaimed "1-0" coach and that winning was the ultimate goal. While is not bad to have this mentality, the board felt it was enough and that we needed to be more eager on our plays. I think they confronted Max and he tried to convince them that the best solution was to sell some players. The board was not in synch with that. Also, i believe there were more than a few players having some disputes with Max internally, and im pretty sure Max decided those players were the ones which needed to be sold (Pjanic and Dybala could have been among those)
-Then, Max Got fired and replaced by Sarri, with the intend of playing "Sarriball". I remember very clearly that one of the first thing Sarri said was that he wanted to work with Dybala. I think we all rememeber that. What happened next is what i dont know what clearly happened.
-Paratici and co. decided out of the blue that Dybala had to be sold. This is pretty weird because if you fired Allegri for the sake of Dybala and the others, then why suddenly try to sell him? and they were ruthless with him. on top of that, why you would sell a player of chis characteristics when was well known that the new "offensive" coach wanted to work with him and get the best of him?.
In my opinion, the answer is Economical problems. Why? because if you take into account Paraticis regime...the guy sold whatever he could for plusvalenza...including players that should have stayed like Kean and Spinazzola (for rotstion pirpouses). Cancelo got traded for useless Danilo just for plusvalenza (!!)He also sold a lot of lesser players and tried to offload Higuain at all cost. Paratici was desperate. And this only points at an accounting issue, most likely with UEFA (maybe because of the ronaldo sudden deal?)
Returning to Dybala, he was an easy prey for Tici. He had 2 below par seasons (to say the least), and he was a high earner. I think that also the board had a lot of issues trying to manage Allegri and Dybala differences, and in the end maybe they decided that it was not worth the effort anymore to keep a player that was not giving his best either and causing issues.... so this is when Paratici and co. planned they had to sell him at all cost.
Still, i find it baffling that hey decided to do that knowing that not only a new coach was coming, but that the coach openly requested dybala to stay for his use.
And this...says a lot about the desperation and the improvisation of Paratici.
