The same standard applied to Allegri from half you noodles each year. Aside from this last year he had us contending with the best in CL each year for the title. And still we had endless whining about how we could never win CL with Allegri’s terrible style, despite playing in two finals.

Since we hired a coach with the “beautiful” style y’all fap about, who I hear is a better coach than Allegri from you guys because what he did with Napoli, I expect given this Juve team, he wins CL. Anything less would be disappoint and should lead to immediate dismissal.

So as I said, welcome chainsmoking hobo. I’ll add forza Sarrismo.

Win CL or gtfo
You can reread all my posts and Ive always said Allegri did great with us. We lost two chl finals against superior teams. What most people criticized him was his pragmatic and boring football and seems that the board wanted to take a different direction. Thats why Pep was plan A, and Sarri was plan B, because Poch or other coaches are worse than Allegri and wont make sense firing Allegri to get Poch or another coach who has same menatality.

Ajax coach was huge risk which Juve wouldnt take, his in-experience in Serie A, and not being Italian. For some reason Juve has had only one non italian coach and it wasnt in Serie A.

Sarri's appointment is the result of post-calciopoli Italian football mentality.

Italians always had great defenders and defences and their football was very tactical.

But what people seem to forget is that they had great attacking game too.Lippi's Juve sides were always great going forward.Ancelotti's Milan was great in attack too.Inter was always a more attacking oriented team than the others.

After calciopoli, a "back to roots" mentality emerged.To rebuild Italian football based on it's very own fundamentals.But the whole country interpreted this as a shift to a monolithic, slow and predictable game.New players and coaches have the same mentality.

This thing makes people like Sarri, whose teams can pull 3 passes together to seem like attacking masterminds.And that's so wrong

Sarri's football is predictable, we might get neutralized against top teams

Higuain was a great choice back in 2016 summer.Everyone was excited we got him.After all he was a 30-goals/season player and that's hard to find.

We signed Cancelo just to sell him after one season.The team needed 1 fw, 2 very good mfs and 1 great defender.


Bonucci hardly improved our backline.I don't imply Caldara would be better, but without CR we'd have the budget to sign a proper CB.

Max could see everything the board and the fans couldn't.The obvious thing.You can not be competitive with one legendary player supported by a mediocre team and in the same time every lunatic fan demanding the Cl.

New Adidas sponsorship and Sarri on our bench.Meh...
For 90m while he was 28 already? No he wasn't. You have to consider resale value at the end of contact when you spend that kind of money. 30 goals per season is not enough.
The whole Bonucci bringing back was because we wanted to get rid of Higuain.

There goes any hope for CL and even top 4 in Italy. Our best hope is winning the EL after we drop out of CL group stage. Nice run of dominance we had.

I admit, you have a point mentioning resale value.But in general Marotta did a great job for Juve.

Why would I reread all your posts? Lol

We played anything but boring, pragmatic football in Allegri’s first 3 years. Not sure where this dumb revisionist myth came from.

It got worse in the 4th year and awful last year... but that’s perhaps in part due to the decline of some of the important older players and changes in the makeup of the team.

Anyways, why are the ambitions so low for this incredible coach? I keep reading he’s superior to Allegri, so please show it and win CL which is the only way to be superior to Allegri here.
